Summary

When quitting Firefox with Panorama groups active, there's currently a perceived data loss, since you can close them in the wrong order, and lose your groups.

Release Requirements

Open Firefox with multiple windows with groups in them, close one window at a time, start Firefox again — you shouldn't lose your groups, ever.

Next Steps

  • Review patches
  • Test that it performs as intended, and that there aren't any side effects

Open Issues

  • Including this feature without making Panorama groups load on demand will make the browser seem slow, since it's restoring groups that aren't visible
  • Solving this problem might be easier if we get Panorama groups to be global, that's bug 578512.
