[Bug 839018] [NEW] restoring session only shows blank pages in every tab

 

Public bug reported:

When you open Firefox after a crash, or after shutting down the system
without closing firefox, it usually restores the last session.

At random times, when it restores the last session, it does open as many
tabs as were open in the last session and does show the correct
addresses in the address bar, BUT all tabs only shows blank pages with
(Untitled) as the title. You have to manually click each tab and hit
Refresh.
