After the latest updates, saved session restore no longer restarts
Thunderbird and Firefox. Is anyone else seeing this?

Don't use TBird but session restore for Firefox hasn't worked for
me in
over a year. It always comes up with the "this is embarrassing"
page
and then restores after I click it. BTW Google Chrome doesn't work
at
all with session restore.


Are you not quitting Firefox before login out/rebooting?

Of course, doesn't everyone?

If not you have to turn the "this is embarrassing message" of in
Firefox.

rrassing-error-message.html

Interesting. I tried that and it does turn off the message, however ...


I've filed a bug about both of these in the past (see https://bugs.
kde.
org/show_bug.cgi?id=343875) and things have improved for some apps
but
not for these.

... I now find that the situation overall is definitely worse than
before:

Before:
* Firefox gives the "embarrassing" message, but on clicking the button
it restores both its windows. I then have to move one window to a
different desktop where it should live.
* Chrome doesn't start and gives no error message.
* Evolution, Dolphin and qBittorrent all start correctly on various
desktops.

Now:
* Firefox doesn't start at all. When I start it manually it only starts
one window, not two, i.e. it has lost information.



What setting do you have in General Preferences for "When Firefox starts" ?






* Evolution doesn't start. When I start it manually it does so on its
own desktop.
* Everything else as before.

Clearly the change to FF can only have affected FF itself. The other
changes are presumably because I just "upgraded" to the latest Plasma.

So in summary, a very definite regression regarding session restore.
