[Bug 1369397] [NEW] can't make browser forget open pages

 

Public bug reported:

After killing the browser app, each subsequent restart will open it with
the same set of pages open.  In theory this might be a nice feature, but
it's kind of a problem if one of those pages causes the browser to crash
or lock up.  The browser app then becomes unusable without manually
removing its config.

Could we make it ask on launch whether to re-open previous pages, and
let the user choose to start fresh if desired?

I've noticed this a lot lately, but the specific version I'm using now
is from rtm krillin image 33.
