Windows lost and names lost and all non-pinned tabs lost #2

After a Windows reboot. Really sad. Not sure what else to report. Parts of this might be Ff and parts winman. Let me know if I can add any information.

Yikes that's terrible, @SweRavn. I haven't encountered anything like that so far on my Linux Mint and Windows. Has it happened more than once?

SweRavn commented 3 years ago

Nope, only once. Flawless after that.

l10nelw commented 3 years ago

Good to hear. I can't think of any way the extension could cause the problem since the only data it stores and manages are window names, and nothing about tabs. I'll close this, cheers

SweRavn commented 3 years ago

Hi, now this happened again and the window names were again lost. I turn off the computer, and Ff was not turned off. So, if winman stores window names, that is lost. All non-pinned tabs are lost and since I did not have any pinned tabs in one window, that window was lost entirely. If I chose "Recover last session" from the menu, the tabs and windows return, but not the window names.

What other extensions are you using?

SweRavn commented 3 years ago

Tree Tab Style. I was also suspecting that one so now it is turned off. Maybe we keep this issue open for a months or so to see if it gets better when this one is turned of.

BenceSzalai commented 3 years ago

So, is there a compatibility issue with Tree Style Tab? I've been using Tree Style Tab for a while and about to start using Winger now.

l10nelw commented 3 years ago

Hi @BenceSzalai, I haven't encountered any problems with TST and Winger together so far. While I'm not really a TST user*, at least one Winger reviewer who also uses TST seems quite happy. If you want to be safe, I suggest you install an extension that periodically backs up your tabs, such as Tab Session Manager.

*Personally, to get a vertical list of tabs, I simply use the native "list all tabs" button (which I do frequently). Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl-Shift-Tab. If the button only appears when your tab strip overflows, you can use a userChrome.css hack to make it always visible.

I still have this problem. When Ff is restarted a random subset of my windows forget their names. Sometimes it is all of them, somethings just 1 or 2. I cannot relate it to any other extension. Also, since I reported the issue, I have reinstalled Windows completely, and the issue is still there. I have not lost any tabs this time, it is only then window's names that are lost.

I can only guess wildly at this point. Is it a session storage issue? Is there something messing with your browser's restore-last-session setting? Is it a hardware problem? Please try migrating to another computer if you can. I'm sorry about your experience.
