[Bug 225289] [NEW] Firefox saved session get lost when trying to connect to a hotspot

[Opoho]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

The new "Save before exit" feature is very useful: it allows to save a surf session and restore it on next launch.
The problem comes when trying to connect to a wifi hotspot. These machines always catches your webpage requests and replaces them with their log-in page. And there goes your saved session... Each of your tabs contains the log-in page and the back button is inactive.

I'd like Firefox (and Epiphany by the way) to be able to identify this
behaviour and enable the back button for each tab.

I'm on Hardy and everything is up-to-date. It's reproductible on Windows
as well.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
