That's what I was saying. In order to keep Firefox bundled, they disabled session management as a compromise. The trade-off sucks. If they had gone with Epiphany instead, it wouldn't be an issue. As it happens I have to explain to everyone I know who uses Ubuntu that Epiphany lets you do session saving - and when I show them how it works they ALL choose to ditch Firefox right there and then. Perhaps we do need an official GNOME distribution? :P > This is a RFE which has been around and debated for a long > long time.
