[Bug 1357464] Re: restoring browser shows blank tab previews

 

I think we all agree that it’s desirable to have a proper capture of the
page. What Bill is suggesting is a temporary stop-gap measure to buy us
time until we can implement a proper solution (which unfortunately is
technically hard). Some sort of "default thumbnail" for tab previews,
maybe using the origami style? Sure that won’t solve the problem of
identifying at a first glance which tab is which, but it might help make
the view look less empty.

Title:
  restoring browser shows blank tab previews

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Fix Committed
Status in Web Browser App:
  Confirmed
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  after closing the browser and reopening, the open tabs are now
  restored which is great. However when viewing the tabs page, all of
  the previews are blank which makes for a pretty ugly looking page.

  Can we persist these preview images, same as we're doing for the favicon images so that we can restore them when the app starts?
  If not, we should minimally show something in the tab preview like "Click to open" or some other graphic
