Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.11-2
Severity: normal
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594630
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11)
Gecko/20100819 Iceweasel/3.5.11 (like Firefox/3.5.11)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.11)

I reviewed existing tickets along the lines of summary including
<https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+does+not+ask+to+save+tabs+and+windows+on+exit>
and not seeing anything that matches what I see.
Today I closed firefox with 60+ tabs of things that I wanted to read by closing
the browser window (by pressing the X). When I started my computer at open and
opened up firefox the browser opened up with a blank window meaning that I once
again lost my todo reading list.
The preference "When Iceweasel starts" changed to "Show my home page" which is
"about:". Privacy | History is set to "Use custom settings for history" and
none of the options including "Clear history when Iceweasel closes" is checked.
My session is usually restored, say, 90% of the time using the same process,
and it is really annoying when losing my session.
There is no crash dialog (ops, cannot restore your session or whatever the
window is).
Reproducible: Didn't try
Actual Results:
"Preferences | Main | When Icewasel starts:" is reset to "Use my home page",
and I lose all my tabs.
Expected Results:
The above preference remains as set "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
and my tabs are restored.
I have seen this once or twice before where I lose my session when I start
firefox at home, but then when I start firefox at work the following day my
session is restored.
