Comment 18 for bug 236901

Came visiting to file a bug about the fact that CPD doesn't clear the session store in some situations and found this but, so I guess I'll just comment here. My use-case was if firefox crashes or hangs around in the background, and then you use it normally a number of times, hitting CPD occasionally, then you can get it in a state where the next time you run, it prompts you if you want to restore the session, and if yes, it restores the session from long before the last CPD, popping up windows that are not in the history or that there should be any trace of. This is surprising, since hitting CPD implies that it clears all the state associated with the user's browsing session (and is casually advertised as such for browsing privacy). But, the sessionstore.js is another place where there is private data that is unclearable by CPD, which seems broken.
