[Bug 219755] [NEW] Visiting the Extension Home Page replaces the saved session

[Christopher Yee Mon]

Public bug reported:

Summary: Start up Firefox and have it search for updates to Extensions.
If it finds any updates, apply them. Once you choose the button to apply
them it will display a dialog stating that the extensions were updated
successfully. In that dialog box, right click one of the extensions that
were updated, and choose Visit Home Page. If the user chooses this
option it will cause the Firefox instance that loads to display only the
Extension home page and none of the other pages that were part of the
previous session.

Firefox 2.0.0.13
Kubuntu 7.10

Steps
1. Set Firefox to load the previously saved session
2. Open mutiple tabs in Firefox
3. Restart Firefox at a point when the there are extensions that need to be updated
4. When Firefox restarts, it should prompt the user to update the extensions that it found updates for. Click Install Updates at this dialog box.
5. After clicking Install Updates, the dialog box will state whether each extension was updated successfully. Right click one of the entries and click Visit Home Page
6. Observe whether the tabs that were open in Firefox previously will be opened

Expected Results: When the user clicks Visit Home Page it should open
the Extension's Home Page in a new tab

Actual Results: The tabs that were previously opened are not reloaded
when the user clicks Visit Home Page. Instead the user just gets one
open tab with the Extension's Home Page loaded.

This scenario has not been tested with Firefox 3.
