FireFox 4.0 for Windows. When there is any active download process in FireFox, FireFox restores the previous web-sites tabs session after closing it.
When there is any active download process in FireFox (no matter if in default DL manager or in DownThemaAll) - FireFox restores the previous web-sites tabs session after closing it, ignoring the setting "Show a blank page" in Options. And no matter if one tab or multiple were opened . When there is no any active download process - all works fine. Does anybody have the same problem ? Windows 7 SP1 X86

First, can you replicate that issue in the Firefox SafeMode? A testing mode where all extensions and most prefs are disabled.

You need to rule out an Add-on as causing that issue.
Are you closing the main browser window while downloading, thus leaving only the download progress indicator in the Windows Taskbar? And then opening Firefox during the same "boot" of the operating system? (IOW, your PC is on from the time the download is complete and you go to open Firefox again.)
If that is the sequence of events, are you sure that there isn't a firefox.exe process running in the Task Manager? IOW, Firefox wasn't completely closed?
If not, please provide a step-by-step explanation about how someone can attempt to replicate that issue.

You need to rule out an Add-on as causing that issue. Therefore, this is not caused by any add-on.
Are you closing the main browser window while downloading, thus leaving only the download progress indicator in the Windows Taskbar? Yes, exactly. And firefox.exe process becomes closed, there is no firefox.exe process is Task Manager anymore when closing FireFox window, and only downloading progress bar is kept.
If not, please provide a step-by-step explanation about how someone can attempt to replicate that issue. This is exactly so, as you wrote, therefore I don't understand why this happens after upgrading to FireFox 4.0.
Step-by-step explanation:
- -I have one or several tabs opened in the FireFox instance
- -I start to download something (no matter if by the internal DL manager or by DownThemAll)
- -During the download I close the FireFox window, so there is only the download progress bar kept on the taskbar (and firefox.exe leaves Task Manager)
- -I start FireFox again (during the download process), FireFox starts and loads all the tabs from the previous session.
I never had this issue before FireFox 4.x
Thanks
