Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-2

Whenever firefox is restarted, it either comes back and crashes, losing my session, or it doesn't come back and I have to manually click on the icon to bring it back with my tabs left over.

Ubuntu 7.10

April 22, 2008

Firefox 2.0.0.13 and 2.0.0.14

The instructions did not work. I kept receiving errors no matter what I do.

I think the problem is with the QuickRestart add on. If I restart firefox
with that add on, then the bug applies.

Thank you for your concern and help.

We are unable to support that addon at this time as we dont package it, if you would like it packaged for next release please file a bug as a wishlist bug, but seeeing as its causing bugs its unlikely its ready for Ubuntu seeing as its causing the bug during its intended use.
