[Bug 1028881] [NEW] Tab behavior broken in FF15

[Sanjeev Gupta]

Public bug reported:

I have been on 12.10 alpha since May, updating daily.

A month ago, after FF13 was released, my Aurora upgraded to FF15, and
after the restart, I saw all my restored tabs as empty.  Neither Ctrl-T
nor typing the Add Tab button worked.  Starting a new session gave me a
tab, and I was able to type in a URL, but going to a new URL by typing
it in would not work.

I downgraged to the beta channel (then FF14).  All was back.

Today, the beta moved to FF15, and the behaviour is back.

Regards,
