I did some experiment, using the pseudoelement to add a icon to the button is trivial, and works fine for rtl, the problem is that I've not found any way to make it resize WITH the button, looks like it is not aware of the size of the containing button, so I can't use height: 100%, nor inherit, nor -moz-calc. The before would contain only the icon, so it would work fine. > element?

Firefox restore session on startup how to#

I had to come on IRC to know how to restore my session (and fortunately, I didn't close Firefox yet, else I guess the session with all the tabs that haven't been read yet and which are important for my day job would have been definitely lost). Are you assuming that people who changed their default page years ago are all involved enough with the Firefox development to know about bug 592822 and to know where to look at to restore their session? Or are you considering these users as unimportant?ДЄutomatically saving the previous session is great, but not knowing how to restore this previous session makes this feature pretty useless. This means we would all miss the 'Click here to restore your session' link. At work, we have the default page set to the website of our company, so it's pretty common to not have the Firefox Start page by default. When I restarted Firefox, I expected my tabs to be back, but no, nothing. Why should it be sufficient? I just upgraded to beta10 and realized that all my tabs were gone, and got no confirmation on exit. > For people not using Firefox Start, I think an entry in the History menu is Ran this by Beltzner earlier today, and he agreed that it's the best approach with the time we have left before shipping. Not a requirement for this to land, though. * For bonus points: Add in the 'Always Restore Session' checkbox in about:sessionrestore.

Firefox restore session on startup code#

* No privileged code is needed on the start page, and we'll get decent visibility and a known/tested implementation that we're already using. * This will probably add a string, but be quite straightforward and self-contained. * Paul mentioned that he could make the crash recovery code pass in an attribute that would conditionally activate the crash text, but make it default to a simpler version with a message that is simply a 'Restore Session' headline, and remove the 'Start new session' button. * Make Firefox Start have a link to about:sessionrestore, and change the default text - right now, its default state is the 'OMG you crashed' messaging. Instead, we recommend the following, given the limited time left, and to manage risk: With our focus on startup speed and not getting in the way of the user, it seems wrong to present all our users with a dialog when they are shutting down their browser, especially since we already made the session saving enabled by default. * Keep what we do now, ask on exit - we'd really like to avoid this.

Firefox restore session on startup Offline#

* Show a text similar to Work Offline (ugh) on Firefox Start saying 'You can restore your previous session from the History menu' - really not what we want, but is technically the simplest thing we could do. * Make about:home privileged code, so clicking a link can restore your session - unlikely to happen, since it's too risky and changes too much, and would need security review, etc. Things that were considered, but we *aren't* pursuing right now: Morphing the title of this bug, since I think we have a workable and low-risk approach now.
