As mentioned repeatedly by people who have experienced the bug and had just that happen to them, this is false. "Wiping sessions and downloads" may not be a design goal, but it can be a side effect of this bug. > There are other bugs that already cover related issues I'm interested in *this* issue, not related ones, and I'm not alone in that. > At a very high level, I do not think we will be changing the "avoid > prompting and make it easy to restore" stance. You can choose whatever default behavior stance you deem best. What is at issue here is the user's ability to control the browser's behavior through configuration settings. It doesn't seem useful to have an "ignore what the user asks for in his config" stance. Making it easy to restore a session is a laudable goal. Crashes and other fatal failures happen, and the more straightforward it is to get back up and running, the better. The browser has gotten much better about this over time, and I'm happy there is an active effort to continue improving it. However, comment 187, comment 190, and the last sentence of comment 192 give some reasons (likely not an exhaustive list) why restoring a session can never be equivalent to keeping an existing one open for all users. If there is a simple way to avoid having to restore at all, many users would vastly prefer this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230102 Title: No warning when closing multiple tabs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/230102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
