Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Update notifier told new updates were available, including some for Firefox.
I was already surfing with Firefox, and let the update notifier download (and then automatically install) those updates. After it had installed those updates, it said restart of Firefox was necessary. I had some stuff to do, so I checked and wrote some emails etc. After a while I then thought now I could restart Firefox.
I closed Firefox, and let it wrote open tabs to hard disk, and then opened it. As usual after update, extensions were checked, but it said nothing. Then only "Welcome to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS user" page was shown, and none of my open tabs, they were lost.
Also there are some other repeatable situations when Firefox loses open tabs, like if I have "Downloads" window open, and close the main browser window, then it's too easy to unintentionally lose all tabs. Firefox should always take care that user does not lose his/her stuff.
