I once noticed the same thing and was told by mozilla guys that the warning is also missing, if you have configured in preferences/general that after restore it will open the old tabs again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I _think_ that is intended that way. So yes, the warning is not supposed to show up w/o flipping the browser.showQuitWarning preference. .. unless you are in private browsing mode. In that case no restore and no warning is happening at all. Also when the last used tabs and windows are chosen in the startup page General preference tab no warning is ever happening. "... and tabs are never restored" That sounds strange. Restore is only happening when you choose it within the General preference tab. That works here w/o any problems. There should also be a button to restore previous tabs optionally if your startup homepage is about:home -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There isn't a "browser.showQuitWarning" entry in a default installation. If I create it and set it to true, then the warning is showed.

I have it by default (set to false).

Is this the expected behaviour you want for OpenSUSE 11.4?

As far as I can tell it's the expected behaviour for Firefox 4. We only change defaults if really needed.

Do you think there isn't a bug?

Up to now I haven't seen a real bug in this report. Feel free to explain what you think is a bug. Not warning about closing tabs seems reasonable for me - if they are restored anyway when restarting - if they can easily be restored when restarting - if private browsing is active If you can describe a case where you see it mandatory to warn for closing multiple tabs, please do and I'll check that exact case and if we can do anything about it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've learned that we were not talking about the same things: I'm already using Firefox 4.0b12 (which also will be in 11.4's goldmaster) which got some changes compared to earlier betas. But I think you guys are still having issues with the current and upstream intended behaviour. - by default there is basically _no_ quit/warn dialog if not explicitely enabled by flipping browser.showQuitWarning - there is one if you have multiple tabs open and close the last window with the window manager's X button - your session is always saved (if not in private mode) and can be restored by - using the correct setting for startup page - clicking the button on the about:home page if that is your start page - choosing History -> Restore previous session Some people already reported a follow up bug to Mozilla: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636777 Please follow up there if still needed. We shouldn't change the upstream behaviour for openSUSE as it would be very confusing for people using different platforms with Firefox. Therefore closing this bug report. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
