Description Blackpaw 2010-08-27 15:09:13 UTC

Version:           latest git snapshot (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Sadly rekonq occasionally crashes due to a problematic website. Unfortunately if it is configured to restore its session on startup it will crash again when you start. The only way to stop it is to delete the .kde/share/apps/rekonq/session file.

It would be good if rekonq asked whether you want to restore the session when starting after a crash, like konqueror does.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Enable "Restore the Last Opened Tabs" on startup option in rekonq
Find a website that crashes rekonq
Restart rekonq

Actual Results:  
Rekonq will crash when restoring the tabs

Expected Results:  
Rekonq should give the option to not restore the tabs, maybe even present a checklist of the tabs to be restored.

this has been added to mainline a while ago.
rekonq will not automatically restore all tabs after a crash. It first asks, whether you want to restore them.
