Is anyone else on Jessie (x86_64) seeing a problem where Firefox (45.2.0esr-1~deb8u1) wants to reload the tabs from the previous session, even when the preferences are set not to do that?
I normally use "show a blank page" on startup, but I was getting either the previous tabs or the "this is embarassing" screen (where FF tells me it was unable to restore the tabs). I changed to "show my home page", and I would briefly see my home page before it was replaced by the "this is embarassing" screen. The problem isn't 100% reproducible, but it's close to it. I only have one extension (NoScript). Disabling it didn't help. I have a few plug-ins installed, but they are all set to Never Activate. The problem seems tied to using exo-open. I see the problem when I start Firefox via the "Web browser" entry in the main Xfce menu. I don't see the problem if I invoke Firefox from the shell, Alt-F2, or a customer launcher (which just runs "firefox"). Any ideas? thanks, mike
