Description Orion Poplawski 2009-05-27 15:03:20 UTC
Description of problem:

Everytime I reboot with firefox running, on login I get:

Well, this is embarrassing.

Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.

Running KDE desktop with manually saved session.

[root@orca ~]# ps -fe | grep firefox
orion     2377  2335  0 08:55 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/lib/firefox-3.5b4/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/firefox-3.5b4/firefox --sm-config-prefix /firefox-O4Kqxb/ --sm-client-id 106f726361000123393768500000029380043 --screen 0
orion     2525  2377  8 08:55 ?        00:00:06 /usr/lib/firefox-3.5b4/firefox --sm-config-prefix /firefox-O4Kqxb/ --sm-client-id 106f726361000123393768500000029380043 --screen 0

Hmm, this might be a KDE issue:

.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc:program11=firefox
.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc:restartCommand11=firefox,--sm-config-prefix,/firefox-Vp9CrZ/,--sm-client-id,106f726361000123299017500000072300016,--screen,0
.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc:program5=firefox
.kde/share/config/ksmserverrc:restartCommand5=firefox,--sm-config-prefix,/firefox-8oV6Z9/,--sm-client-id,106f726361000123393768500000029380043,--screen,0

Why two firefox restart commands?  Probably getting this from firefox session registration though....

I'll try removing one of the firefox restart commands.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.5-0.20.beta4.fc11.i586
kdebase-4.2.3-1.fc11.i586

How reproducible:
Everytime

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2009-05-28 15:48:20 UTC
Nope.  I can reproduce this simply by killing firefox and then restarting it.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 16:38:26 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 4 Michael S. Tsirkin 2009-06-17 08:42:02 UTC
Yes, I'm seeing this every time on FC 11, too.

Yes, and that's the same as bug I close it duplicate of.

Comment 6 Matěj Cepl 2009-06-17 19:28:49 UTC
No, this is correct. Firefox just doesn't work well with KDE session management, which is the upstream bug we closed duplicate of this bug against.
