hi Kestrel, thank you for the reply. still no luck with dynamic workspaces disabled (confirmed the setting was correct also via "Tweaks" app, and set my static workspaces to a larger number than what i'm actively using (using 4 out of available 6). a few notes which may be relevant: - i am using Gnome Shell on wayland as my window manager - this is a laptop with an external monitor, the laptop lid is closed; monitor is the primary/only display - i am running Debian Bullseye with the firefox package installed from unstable/sid. - i am launching firefox with wayland support via `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1` - laptop screen builtin scaling is different from monitor (2x vs. 1x respectively) here are my reproduction steps: 1) boot to GDM (wayland) 2) login to Gnome Shell (wayland) 3) open firefox 83.0 4) arrange windows on static workspaces (1-4 out of six total) 5) log out back to GDM 6) log in 7) ensure displays are configured as before 8) switch to workspace 1 9) launch firefox with `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1` i have also tested replacing steps 5-7 with simply exiting firefox via Ctrl+Q. expected behavior: windows are restored to where they were prior to logout actual behavior: all windows are restored to workspace 1. sizes are correct, but x/y positions and workspace are incorrect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/684982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm on firefox nightly, and currently on version 82.0a1. In version 81, window restoration worked perfectly and the windows would open up in the same desktops they were in when firefox was closed. But now, if I have 2 windows in desktop 1 and 2 windows in desktop 2 for example, and reopen firefox, then 3 windows open up in desktop 1 and 1 window opens in desktop 2.

(In reply to Peder Stray from comment #85) > No, not really... can't really see why you should mean that, but just to > check, I removed those two lines, and now firefox mapped on 1, before jumping > off to 5. It looks like i3, like BSPWM does not use _NET_WM_DESKTOP as expected. After looking at the source of i3 it appears that the numbers in _NET_WM_DESKTOP and the numbers and titles of workspaces internal to i3 are not the same. This is because i3 creates workspaces random and dynamically but assigns _NET_WM_DESKTOP numbers cumulatively when they are created (if I interpret the src correctly). That is why _NET_WM_DESKTOP numbers are not preserved after a reboot or restart of the WM i.e. Firefox windows should appear on seemingly random workspaces. I conclude that it is Bug 1630085. Why the rules don't work is Bug 1628749, as Firefox maps its windows before moving them (if my theory is correct). A workaround could be Bug 1628742 to manually toggle the behavoir for people that use an unconventional WM (who are more than likely technically inclined). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/684982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We can only speculate, Werner.
My humble guess, the intersection of skills on one and interest to fix
this on the other hand is too small for the people in charge here.
At one time it's fixed (by a matter of luck), and then it's broken again
with the next release. There are definitely some ordering and timing
issues involved on top of the various window manager implementations. Oh
well.
My setup consists of 37 FF windows ATM, which makes reboots a really
scary matter. Until this weekend.
The ideas from Pavel got me going. Thanks Pavel. Much appreciated. Here are the
results:
https://github.com/frispete/wm-win-tool
https://pypi.org/project/wm-win-tool
At least for me, this has taken all anxiety from reboots. Seriously.
openSUSE users find a packaged version on OBS in
home:frispete:{15.0,15.1,15,2,Tumbleweed}/etc-LISA, installing the -gui
package is sufficient.

You can try `wm-win-tool`, but note, that the easiest way in using my tool is using it in conjunction with the Window Titler [add-on](https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/window-titler/), that allows you to add a static title to your Firefox windows. Since the window title usually depends on the active tab, this add-on is valuable on its own for managing multiple FF windows. Thanks again, Pavel, for the hint. `wm-win-tool` has an option `-b, --brackets`, that matches exactly these static titles surrounded by brackets, and saves their desktop, geometry, and state: ``` wm-win-tool -vb store ``` to be restored with ``` wm-win-tool -vb restore ``` That should work for your case as well.

With all due respect, but it's exactly about session restore being unable to restore what ever the session consists from. This includes both: restoring the windows on their original desktops and restore the original tabs in those windows. The latest FF incarnations (69.*, 70.*) show both variants of this issue: not restoring the window geometry correctly (including desktop) and not restoring the correct tabs in those windows. 68 got it right for a short time, but then the FF gods chimed in and made it act as usual. Reproducing this is a matter of: * install a decent Linux DE (I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma DE) * open a few dolphin, kate and firefox windows * log out and log in * the dolphin and kate windows restore just fine, even FF might do for a while * repeat the latter two steps Over time, you will notice the behavior, we're observing since 13 years now. I can imagine, that it's not easy to get right for all different setups. And the changes in behavior clearly show, that some folks are messing on this, but they never showed up here. Why would adding yet another bug report change anything? It's pretty obvious, that nobody, who is in charge if this mess, really cares. And now, with the dawn of wayland getting more and more into production ready state, things won't get any easier, I'm afraid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/684982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just to keep you informed. Firefox 70 session manager remembers the
window position for multiple desktops correctly (note: no multi monitor
setup), but it mixes the content (tabs from one window appear in
another), hence I'm back to be afraid of reboots. Here's my current
procedure.
Prepare for reboot: save current session
$ ff-backup-session-recovery.sh
Reboot
# session is fscked up again, kill firefox
Restore session from backup
$ ff-backup-session-recovery.sh list
[...]
-rw--- 1 hp lisa 1156380 29. Okt 12:08 recovery.jsonlz4.20191029-120926
[...]
$ ff-backup-session-recovery.sh restore recovery.jsonlz4.20191029-120926
Start Firefox 70 from first desktop
Distribute all FF windows to the desktop, they belong to.
Work.
The script is executed via crontab every night as well.
The FF gods seem to try everything to get rid of me as a user!
ff-backup-session-recovery.sh:
```
#!/bin/bash
#ssb=$(ls -d ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-esr68/sessionstore-backups)

[Bug 684982]
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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/684982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

No downstream patch involved (at least not on this area), here's the build source: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/MozillaFirefox Generally, the openSUSE project, and especially Factory (aka Tumbleweed) tries to adhere to upstream as close as possible, but FF is special of course... From a cursory look, the mozilla-kde.patch comes closest to session handling, but as the name implies, it's about general interoperability with KDE. I cannot imagine, that somebody at openSUSE would fiddle in the session handling area, even if resources would permit. The fixes must come from upstream.

Just FYI: FF 66.0 and 66.0.2, now running on openSUSE Tumbleweed and KDE Plasma 5, still suffer from this very issue. It worsen by the fact, that even the window geometry doesn't match the original dimensions. Before, the window location and dimension matched, just screen was lost. Now the content (the tabs) appear in other window geometry, location, and screen. Additionally, the address of some current tabs is lost, and "New tab" is displayed instead.

Some news related to 44.0: I've spend a good part of the evening to get 44.0 to behave, but failed. The usual procedure is: killing Firefox, restart places all windows on one desktop, distribute the windows to the correct desktops, resize windows, done. At this point, one can usually leave the desktop session with some confidence, the crashed session restore after a login restores the windows at the correct places with the correct sizes. Up until 43.0.3, this went fine - but no more with 44.0. I tried 3 times, and Firefox 44.0 managed to mangle to arrangement in random ways, more serious than ever before. For the time being, I reverted to 43.0.3, and finally settled my setup again, but I cannot avoid version 44 forever. Please, whatever you did to the session management between 43.0.3 and 44.0, revert it - otherwise more people will stand up and cry. Or, even better, use the opportunity to tackle the problem once again - I already offered my help in this, but nobody seems to care. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/684982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have a hacky workaround for Linux users. I threw together a script to deal with this problem some time ago (for a number of programs I was using, but mostly Firefox). It's in a GitHub repository here: https://github.com/zepalmer/script-vdr Since that script expects PIDs, I usually call it from a separate wrapper script for Firefox: #!/bin/bash mode="$1" if [ "$mode" != "load" -a "$mode" != "save" ]; then echo "Valid modes are \"load\" or \"save\"." exit 1 fi ps ax | grep firefox | grep -v grep | egrep -o '^ *[0-9]+' | egrep -o '[0-9]+$' | \ while read pid; do [ -n "$pid" ] && vdr --$mode $pid done I saved the above as "~/bin/vdr-ff". I have keystrokes which run "vdr- ff load" and "vdr-ff save" so I can periodically save my Firefox window positions and then reload them when I have to restart Firefox. In theory, I could put "vdr-ff save" in a user crontab, but I haven't bothered to deal with making sure it doesn't save immediately after Firefox starts. Please note that the script operates by using the X window title. This means that (a) sites with changing titles won't restore properly and (b) some bit of information about your browsing history is stored in "~/.vdr.data". Of course, I'd *much* prefer a proper resolution to this bug, but I haven't the faintest idea how to solve it in a platform-independent manner. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/684982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 684982]
In my experience, on Gnome or KDE every GUI window (not only from Mozilla) opens on whichever virtual desktop is current at the time the window opens. In particular: - if I start a GUI application from a desktop shortcut icon or an xterm then quickly change virtual desktops, the GUI will open on the new virtual desktop; - an alert popup relating to some window on a non-current virtual desktop may appear on the current one if it is "floating" (like our Preferences dialog) and not "tied to its window" (like the SeaMonkey button palette). This happens to me the same way for every GUI, be it Firefox, Vim, LibreOffice, some KDE game, whatever. However: When logging out of X11 with some GUIs still open, then some window managers can restore them to the right virtual desktop at the next X11 login. (KDE window managers can even restore gvim compiled with the Gnome session restore feature built-in.) This of course does not apply to Mozilla apps as long as the preferred closedown method for them is Ctrl+Q or File→Quit rather than letting them be closed forcibly by the window manager. I don't know anything of MacOs with or without X, and I left Windows for good at a time when XP SP2 was state-of-the-art so I'm not going to talk about them. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/684982 Title: Firefox windows don't restore on correct workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/684982/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This bug was partly fixed in 52.8 (the session restore was working properly for some time now), but after updating to 63.0.3, it reappeared. The windows are restored at the same position on the same desktop, but the content mixed up (the content from other windows of this session appears instead, hence the logical relationship of windows, positions and content is destroyed).

Hi Guys, I'm very sorry, but we missed the 10th anniversary of this bug!

Well, so maybe this should be a window manager feature, but perhaps FF session restore could make use of the windowmanager's session features to achieve it then rather than attempt to implement sessions, just poorly/broken... I'm now curious which if any apps do have this feature. Konqueror maybe? (May depend on whether you have it in single or multiple process mode.) Just seems to me that if the session is going to attempt to restore window sizes and placements, it should also restore window placement wrt to which virtual desktop.

A couple of (unclean) restarts of Firefox 41.0.2 later, the results are disappointing. The troublesome behaviour, described in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650#c29 returned. There's a general problem in the session management, that will only appear under certain conditions (e.g. crashes), I guess, therefore it is so hard to locate. @Mike Hommey: We're suffering from an issue, that originates from the 17.x/18.x area of Firefox, which is IMHO the most prominent nuisance for _heavy_ (multi desktop) Firefox users over all.

My desktop environment is able to restore a couple of apps just fine, where I rely on session management for ages (e.g. okular and dolphin).

I'm starting to get a more concrete picture of the problem from a user perspective, and would like to cooperate with somebody from the firefox hacking front, who is willing to solve this problem! I made an interesting observation. It happens, that all windows are restored correctly under certain circumstances. Here's how I can reproduce this at will. Given I want to add a new window with several tabs to my Firefox bouquet. (30-40 windows with maybe 500 tabs). 1) quit or kill Firefox 2) start Firefox all windows will appear on a single desktop (as described in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650#c29) 3) push the windows to the correct screens and rearrange their dimensions and order Now I can logoff/reboot without stomach pains, after login, the Firefox "crashed session manager" will appear in a single window. Push restore session, et voilà, all windows with all tabs reappear on the expected locations, and keep the content, too. No mangling. Obviously, Firefox session management cannot handle a heavy working set. I would like to start with examination of the database, where this information is stored, if somebody can point me to it (and give some hints about, how to examine). Notes: I don't care/check the z-order of things (being a fan of shuttering windows, only the window handle bars of most windows will appear). The few, that weren't shuttered, don't overlap with other windows. The "long time no see" message about Firefox restoration notice on every start is bizarre and nagging: no other code burns more cpu cycles on my primary desktop every day - and no, I don't want to throw away my setup which would result in days of work to rearrange!

Every Unix Ffx power user may file this issue earlier or later...

This might be related to testing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=842170, that I performed yesterday, where I had to distribute the ~30 windows to the correct desktops manually.
