Sorry for not being clear, I agree that these are both problems with restoring the session. I think that they have separate causes and will have separate solutions, and so they would be better tracked in separate bug reports.
Restoring windows to the correct desktop is handled differently for different systems. In general we are missing explicit support for it. The current bug (bug 372650) is about getting that working properly; if there was any work in progress it would be proposed and discussed here or in the dependent bugs. I don't know why the behavior has changed for you over time, but I'd guess it was a side effect of more general session restore changes, rather than intending to fix this. Restoring the correct tabs to the correct windows, however, is a cross- platform mechanism that shouldn't depend on the geometry of the windows. It should already be working consistently. Any issues there are more likely to be broken existing code, possibly very general issues with the database. It's possible that fixing your tab->window issue might also return the window->desktop restore back to the correct behavior you were seeing in 68 (and sporadically in older versions), but that still wouldn't fix the current bug, in general. Thanks for sticking with trying to debug your session restore issue for all these years. I think that filing a new bug might get more attention on it, rather than having it lumped in with this missing feature. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces Status in Mozilla Firefox: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Create two workspaces Open one firefox window on the first workspace, second on the second one.
