I had to restart Firefox, after it was upgraded, so I accepted the restart of Firefox. It closed all the windows (all 10) and restarted Firefox. All the windows appeared in the current Activity, not distributed to the Activities I had just spent 5 minutes redistributing them, before the restart of Firefox. 2287941 10 rafael.linux.user 2024-02-11 13:06:32 +0000 Can confirm this issue. I thought it was only Firefox, but can confirm same for Chrome/Chromium. 2302413 11 ville.aakko 2024-03-18 08:26:08 +0000 (I'm not sure if this bug report is about desktops or activities, as both are mentioned. Either way, Firefox has never remembered it's activity reliably (it seemed like it sometimes did), but it did remember the desktop for me. But after upgrading to Plasma 6, there is a regression, as neither will be remembered. All firefox windows will be opened on the current activity and desktop (despite having arranged windows elsewhere). This is on Arch Linux. 2302461 12 lepetitdragonbleu 2024-03-18 10:24:45 +0000 (In reply to Ville Aakko from comment #11) > But after upgrading to Plasma 6, there is a regression, as neither will be > remembered. All firefox windows will be opened on the current activity and > desktop (despite having arranged windows elsewhere). I have the same issue with Plasma 5 on Wayland. Is it related to Wayland? 2360603 13 nate 2024-09-28 02:39:34 +0000 This is X11-specific since it's about real session restore which isn't available on Wayland yet; lowering priority. 2396530 14 al.neodim 2025-02-10 19:12:42 +0000 Experiencing the same issue on Plasmashell 6.1.5. Seems like due to lack of integration with ksmserver. Btw. I have similar issue with xterm being restored into first virtual desktop regardless of where I run it before loggingout/rebooting. Previously this was non-issue. 2426890 15 john 2025-05-23 03:17:16 +0000 *** Bug 499842 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2463930 16 nate 2025-10-22 20:21:01 +0000 The problem here is in Firefox and Chromium. KWin doesn't have the necessary information to restore individual windows to individual virtual desktops without help from the app in the form of support for the session restore protocol — either the X11 one or the Wayland one.
