Auto-recovery is not doing its job #57

Open kergoth opened 6 years ago

kergoth commented 6 years ago

It seems that exiting and restarting firefox results in all the suspended tabs being MIA, and the restore session window doesn't show up at all, even momentarily to auto-restore. If I go into the addon settings and click Open Recovery, then the window comes up, restores the missing tabs, and closes itself, it just doesn't come up on its own on restart. Disabling auto-restore results in it still not coming up on restart, so restarting the browser just results in losing half my tabs.

I have found a temporary work-around for this. For the past week or more, I have simply opened my browser, and un-suspended any of my tabs that are suspended. After they load, I re-suspend them, which seemingly places them back in the Recovery, causing them to be reopened in suspended form once starting Firefox back up.

It's not ideal, especially if you have a significant amount of tabs, but it is a temporary solution before the issue is fixed. Likely it's just something about when a suspended tab is recovered, it is removed from the Recovery, even if it remains suspended. A simple fix is to just keep it in Recovery until it is un-suspended.
