Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I just migrated my Firefox profile from Gentoo, where I also used Firefox 2.0 beta2.
The Firefox built in session saver hasn't worked since, although I've enabled it in the preferences ("Show my windows and tabs from last time")

I've also enabled the keys described here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.enabled
but all I get when I start the browser is an empty page.

I got the same bug, just trying it on my Edgy Eft Knot 3 computer. When I switched it over to "Show my windows and tabs from last time", all it came up with after I closed my windows was a blank screen.

Works for me in Edgy; it restores the tabs from my previous session. It's actually a Knot 2 install, but with all the up-to-date Edgy updates, so in theory it should be the same Firefox than the one in Knot 3. Have either of you tried with a new firefox profile instead of an existing one? Maybe that would make a difference.

This doesn't work with the new Firefox release (RC2) either...
