Or should the bug instead be filed against session restore?
It should not be filed against session restore. It's a usability bug caused by *quitting without confirmation*. You can't possibly restore every single case. Even worse, take some WebGL games for instance or anything the like. Restoring is simply irrelevant, if real-time activity is disrupted by invalid quitting. So in general case, this idea of "restore rather than prevent quitting" is invalid. This shouldn't be even a forced behavior. I.e. it can be made configurable. Those who want will have the confirmation, and those who don't want can turn it off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/583797 Title: "Warn on closing with multiple tabs open" not honored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/583797/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
