Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
When I kill the Firefox or it crashes itself, having open a page with radio-button checkboxes list like in the following example, after Firefox restart using internal session manager it defaults the selection to the first radio button, not to the default one (whilst the last one out of the three is default as you can see in the HTML code).
Here is the code which you can use to reproduce the error>

I have created a new profile with only Flashblock and "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" plugins (as these are system-wild on my lappy) and was able to reproduce the problem with just this piece of code saved to a file having it opened as a file://
This is really annoying, as we have an application with exactly these checkboxes and need them to persist the default button after crash & Firefox restart. In current situation, it happens that we save "all passed" if we are not careful enough. Our dev girl has added "revert" button to workaround these situations but that doesn't mean this bug shouldn't be fixed - perhaps not all teams have so friendly dev people :-).

here is the code saved to a testing simply HTML file (it is even not having <HTML></HTML> tags but that doesn't have any influence on the bug behavior itself)
