Firefox 4.0b9 kills core functionality in version 2.0, 2.1b2 #96

With the new beta (beta9) the BarTab doesn't work as expected: at startup all the tabs gets loaded.

STR:

  1. take the beta9
  2. take a new, empty profile
  3. install BarTab (the public 2.0 or from the beta channel, 2.1b2)
  4. open a few page
  5. close firefox and start it again
  6. all tabs gets loaded instantly

ps: in beta8 all things works like a charm ps2: this bug is almost duplicate of #72 ps3: is this bug the opposite of #94 or am i in write-only mode?! :)

I am still seeing this, however now the tabs are greyed out, but they are still being loaded in the background. As soon as I load Firefox, I see my memory usage gradually increase to 2+ GB before it crashes.

Confirmed this behaviour in 4.0 b10 as well. The solution is to set browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs = 0 in about:config and TabBar works properly again.

the above not a solution, as the mechanism is not from within bartab. it's only a workaround.
