Subject: epiphany-browser 3.0.4-1 does not remember open tabs
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 13:20:05 +0530
Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 3.0.4-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi all,
Epiphany-browser does not remember any open tabs. To reproduce this :-
a. Click on a shortcut of Epiphany or click on Epiphany through
GNOME/menu > Internet > Epiphany
b. Open few tabs.
c. Close tabs.
d. Open through shortcut again, the last session/tabs opened are not there.
I saw the Preferences i.e. Edit > Preferences as well as Tools >
Extensions neither of them helps/ed.
e. I also tried to figure out using gconf-editor > /apps/epiphany but
was unable to see any values worth changing.
This makes it harder to use/make Epiphany my primary browser to use.

Indeed. If you want to keep the tabs open, don’t close the browser.
They will come back if you save the session and restart it, but epiphany
cannot know, when you close a window, wheter you actually wanted to
remember the open tabs or you just wanted to close them.

Dear Josselin Moutette,
Thank you for responding so quickly. Looking back at the
bug-report, I should have put c. as
c. Close session, close tabs (all) by clicking on the browser X (in
title bar) to exit the session
Josellin, maybe I missed it but there does not seem to be a preference
to be able to save the session. I looked in the general preferences as
well as Edit > Preferences but have not been able to find anything . I
also looked in the extensions to see if there was something there but
failed to find anything there as well.
Lastly, looked through the integrated Help (F1) to see if this was
documented somewhere but seems it isn't.
If there is a way please enlighten me. Thanks.
