firefox 3.0.10 does not reload the previous session tabs and windows despite checking it in Preferences

[Rafa]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Release of Ubuntu: 8.04 hardy heron
Firefox 3.0.10 (spanish)
With previous versions of firefox, I hadn`t problems to restore the tabs and windows which I opened from one session to the next. Since I updated to 3.0.10 version, Firefox ignores this usefull option although I check -Edit>Preferences - "restore the tabs and windows opened in the previous session". I am not having crash or unexpected logout of firefox. This firefox's amnesy occurs after correctly finishing the session and, minutes or hours afterwards, opening firefox. Whoever you are, thanks for advice. Have a nice day.

Hi. I´m sorry to be so slow in the feedback. Thanks for your advice, although I still haven´t tried to solve the problem with the link that you have provided me -too much work to concentrate in it-, so I´m still using a somehow rude method to "restore" the tabs: selecting the most usefull locations in the history and selecting "open all in tabs" by the menu key. But I could read partially the info that was showed there and maybe the problem is related with some of the extensions or complements -it sounds rare, because I prefer put them to my bike more than redecorating my firefox and I hadn´t this kind of problems before-. Well, I´ll try changing the profile to default and uninstalling extensions and complements, but probably I won´t do it until weekend. Only one question: What kind of complementary info do you need? I thought that the files created by the bug reporter app were enough. One more time, thanks for your advice , and I´ll try to improve the feedback. Bye.
