Firefox 1.0.6 (bugfix) released: bug with Session Saver .2


Mozillazine blog has the announcement of 1.0.6 (Linux en-US version via ftp here). 1.0.5 broke some extensions.

I guess the Session Saver, Scrapbook and Enhanced History Manager extensions weren't affected by 1.0.5's bug(s), since they continued to work here in 1.0.5. In any event, I grabbed 1.0.6, and for the last ten hours or so, it seems to be doing fine with ScrapBook and Enhanced History Manager. All my ScrapBook entries show up in the left-hand column, and ditto for the Enhanced History Manager entries. But, closing Firefox when multiple windows with multiple tabs are open crashes the startup. Restarting, what gets saved is one window with multiple tabs. The other windows with their multiple tabs are lost.

After it crashes, and I restart again, I select the profile to use and a Session Saver window pops up asking me if I want to coninue restarting, as the restart 'seems to be crashing'. Clicking on 'continue' brings up the first window started, with all of its tabs, but other windows with their tabs are lost, even if the only open tab is Firefox start.

Reported this to the extension author and in the comments to the 1.0.6 announcement.
