Steve or Xanager:
I've wrapped each major area in a try-block. If anything fails, it will throw a numbered alert: <a href="http://adblock.mozdev.org/sessionsaver/sessionsaver-02-dev.xpi">Installer</a>, and <a href="http://adblock.mozdev.org/sessionsaver/sessionsaver.jar">jar-file</a>.
.
This should show us where the problem is.

profile switching?
couldn't this method be used for saving states when switching users/profiles? something kinda like fast user switching. you could switch to another profile, and upon return have all your windows, tabs, history, etc restored.
this of course depends on profile switching being added to firebird - i believe it already works in mozilla, but i'm not sure - i don't use it.

the only relevant bug i could find:

this is a great extension. the latest build works pretty much as advertised. sometimes it doesn't save the scroll position, and other small stuff like that, but crash recovery is awesome.

right, well i was thinking more of a seamless feature, where it would retain and reload sessions specifically on a profile switch, similar to a crash "non-exit" - even if you have the auto- options turned off. but you're right, i guess it probably would work just as well with the auto- options on. i guess i brot it up because i have them off - i want my normal homepage to start up under normal circumstances; i'm pretty much just using it for crash recovery.
as for specific pages, about:config was one of them. can you maybe explain a little how it works? like how often is the savesession string in the prefs updated? i noticed a few times when i was testing the auto restore that sometimes the "current" tab was incorrect, and some scroll positions weren't right - as if it wasn't updated in a minute or so before i exited.
also, some sites that use cookies, like shopping sites don't reload properly all the time.

Ah- about:config is a generated list, which doesn't have a trappable scrollbar property. I'll dig a bit more, but so far I've come up empty-handed. It annoys me too :P
.
Regarding pref-saving: every time a tab finishes loading, the containing window's session-string is stored. To prevent thrashing, a timer only allows one save every 10sec's. It's also supposed to recapture your current session on shutdown, but, clearly that's not happening. I thought this was fixed: look for an update momentarily.
.
ps: and sites that expire on browser-close will never recall.
