Multiple open windows, especially ones named by Winger, failing to re-open after quitting and re-starting browser

[mlncn]

This is probably not a Winger issue but i cannot think of what other extension might cause it, and i do seem to loose my windows i've named with Winger more often, so posting to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

I probably should be naming and stashing everything, but i'm not and am simply losing like four of seven open windows when i shut down Firefox and the computer and start up again. Which leads to even more open loops and paranoia in the back of my mind than having 150 tabs open :-/

I feel you and this sounds odd. Can you say more about your OS, Firefox version and other extensions you have installed?

I have this anoying bug too for a long time. Please priorize it. I even paid for this. Here the request data to simulate: OS: Windows Version 10.0.19045 Compilation 19045 Firefox: 115.0.2 (64bits) Extensions: Auto Tab Discard, Google Analytics Blocker, uBlock Origin, Tab Session Manager, and your Winger

Thank you @PedroVieiraFilho. I am prioritising this. I need to figure out how to reproduce the bug (it's never happened on Windows 10 or MacOS for me) so that either a Winger fix or a Firefox bug report comes out of it. But at the same time I'm contemplating an internal backup system to work around the problem, whatever the cause might be.

@mlncn @PedroVieiraFilho How often does it occur? Is there a pattern? Any suspicious conditions?

Hi Lionel,

The problem is the windows name only keep window label prefix if you change them on current session. When you just exit from Firefox e restart it (using native session recover or other extension like 'Tab Session Manager', all windows name prefix is lost. In other words, every time there is a Windows update, or Firefox itself, the window labels must be renamed

Maybe just saving the group windows prefix names before window unload (or close) e get and set then on windows finish load, solve the problem. Examples (not tested):

@HostListener('window:beforeunload', ['$event']) public beforeunloadHandler($event) { // save json with windows list and labelas }

constructor(private router: Router) { this.subscription = router.events.subscribe((event) => { if (event instanceof NavigationStart) { // reload json with windows list and labelas } }); }

Thanks
