Confirming bug, using KDE 3.5.5 on Gentoo Linux. Sorry, it is still not our job to fix Mozilla's long-lasting inability to fix their session management. As a workaround you can explicitly exclude Firefox from session management in the kcontrol module. There's nothing else KDE can do here. Well, Mozillas says this is a KDE-problem and you say it's a Mozilla-problem. What can be done to find a solution for this problem? Mozilla doesn't support the XSMP protocol, only the primitive and old WM_SAVE_YOURSELF protocol. Which means that during session save it gets a message to save yourself and then it simply gets killed during X shutdown. The only thing KDE could do would be removing hacks working around Mozilla bugs in their session handling and disabling session support for it altogether. For cross reference, just in case people are stopping by, there seems to be a 2002 and a 2006 bug on this. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354686 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93789 From those bugs, it would seem that this is, indeed, a firefox bug. |
