What happened to the undo list option "Clear 'Closed' List..." in 0.4?
EDIT: I got it working by adding the missing code from 0.3.9.11+ in sessionmanager.xul.
This is for both the toolbar and tools menu lists.

Actually, you can't use the userChrome.js version instead of the built-in one. What you observed works only for one backup copy - all others are deleted by Session Manager (as you told it by setting the number of additional backups to 0). If you want to discuss this further, please do so over at the new discussion thread.
Actually, I can set the userChrome.js MAX_BACKUP_COUNT to whatever I want, and it keeps that many older backups even with the built-in option set at '0' (although in real use I actually only keep one).
It works fine for me this way.

Tried .3.9.12+ yesterday. Very grateful that it solved the new thread per 10s problem. However, when I looked around in the options dialog, after the "Resume Current Session At Restart" option deleted, the "At startup ..." option was untouched and stated "<load homepage>" although the old "Resume" option was ticked in the past. This may produce an "upgrade bug" for many people...

That one shouldn't have been there in the first place (it was only targeted at SeaMonkey users). If you want it back, it should be quite simple to implement a userChrome.js snippet for that (no need to hack the sources).

To get it working again, all you have to do is replace this.mOneTabRE with the following:
Code: Select all
/\n\[Window(\d+\.Tab\d+)\]\n[\s\S]*?(?=\n\[Window(?!\1)|$)/g

It indeed fixes some restore issues. Should you still see them, please indicate whether you get any errors in the JS console (having javascript.options.showInConsole set to true) and if possible how to reproduce the behavior on a clean profile.

As long as they don't look into the Options dialog, they won't notice anything. And should they ever notice (when they don't want the previous session to be resumed), they'll just have to set it to "Prompt", confirm the dialog and set it back to "None". I hope they'll forgive me that slight inconvenience...

Just thought I'd let you know I have just updated to version 0.4 and the above problem is now fixed. Thanks.

I wrote a userChrome.css hack for making "Reopen Closed..." appear at the top of the Session Manager toolbar button's menu. Because of XUL's weird way of implementing -moz-box-ordinal-group, I had to play around with the elements a bit:
Code: Select all
#sessionmanager-toolbar menu[_id="undo-menu"] {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important;
}
#sessionmanager-toolbar menuitem[label^="Save Session"] {
visibility: collapse !important;
}
#sessionmanager-toolbar menuitem[label="Session Manager Options"] + menuseparator {
display: none !important;
}
#sessionmanager-toolbar > menupopup menuseparator:not([_id="closed-separator"]), #sessionmanager-toolbar > menupopup menuitem[accesskey] {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2 !important;
}

It did happen again with 0.4. The value you mentioned is true. However, I do not know what I am looking for. There are a lot of errors showing up after a restart.
Edit: I just found that in your options, Startup & Shutdown was set to load the homepage. Did you settings change in a way that couldn't import the old settings?

@desertfox: Interesting hack.
Since I've never experienced this, I'll need more data for determining where the problem lies. Can you reproduce this on a clean profile (ruling out an extension conflict)? And could you please PM me the content of the file crashrecovery.bak from your profile folder and all messages visible in the console (use Console² for copying all messages together) when this happens again (i.e. don't otherwise close Firefox or do anything else with it)?
Thats the "upgrade bug" billyswong mentioned above. It's just a UI quirk. Set it to "[ Previous Browsing Session ]" if you feel uncomfortable...

Never mind. Blame the upgrade bug.
