I have done some more testing:
Opened firefox to my homepage.
I disabled Tor, restarted with the restart button that came up in the extension
window.
Tested restore, didn't work: just came up to a single blank page, no tabs.
I opened a URL in a second tab (first was still blank).
I opened add-ons and disabled Ad-Block, restarted as it told me to.
It asked if I wanted to save my tabs, I said yes and it restarted.
My blank page & the second tab were restored perfectly.
Closed firefox.
Started firefox.
Went somewhere.
Opened a new tab & went somewhere else.
Closed firefox, selected save & quit.
Opened firefox.
I get a blank screen, nothing restored.
So, it seems that only when I save/restore from the restart button after
disabling an extension, will it save.
Under "Clear Private Data" I have browsing, download, saved form and
search histories checked, as well as cache, offline website data, and
authenticated sessions. It is set to clear all this when firefox closes.
I am at a total loss as to why this is happening.
Why does it ONLY save/restore successfully when I restart after disabling an
extension?
Are saved tabs considered authenticated sessions?
** Summary changed:
- Firefox does not restore previous sessions' tabs when loading a URL from an
application.

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
firefox3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Ubuntu 8.04.1
Closed down firefox with 2 tabs open by hitting the X and selecting save
& quit.
Clicked on a URL in an application (happened to be mobloquer).
URL loads, old tabs are never restored.
Reloading firefox does not load tabs either...tabs aren't even shown in the
history.
Torbutton does NOTHING to non-tor pages, which the saved tabs were.
+
Tabs are saved and load just fine under ideal circumstances (i.e. close,
save, reload - nothing fancy).

Tabs aren't freakin' rocket science, why are there so many
problems?! This is probably the 3rd bug I have found with tabs. And none
of them get any attention at all. It almost makes me sad that I can't
get IE on here to have something that actually works.
Off topic: Why does launchpad store login info in cookies? I have never
had to enter my password for this site since I created my account months
ago. Kinda weird to have that lax of security on a Linux oriented
site...
