ff4 keeps restoring the same session instead of the previous one.
i open new tabs and when i restart it goes back to the same session i had before opening those tabs. turned addons on and off, checked ff settings and it restores last session, but i still have the same session opening no matter what.
Thought it was Session Manager but i disabled it and it stays the same.
session manager can't save at all anyway, error shows like this:
"This operation failed due to a file access error: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsICookieManager2.getCookiesFromHost]
Edit a Question _ Firefox Help-2011-04-22.session
JS frame :: resource://gre/components/nsSessionStore.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 2140"
i also noticed that my Recently closed Tabs History is not being updated....

There may be a problem with the file that contains the details of sessions. Try deleting the file to see if it helps.
- Open your profile folder, for details of how to find it see this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles
- Close Firefox
- In the profile folder delete sessionstore.js plus if it exists sessionstore.bak
Now test to see if it saves details of the sessions.
meanwhile i reverted back to 3.6.16 and everything is fine. But i think too the session file may be causing the problem in 4. i'll try to install it again in a few days and see what happens. thanks

This is a known bug. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636279
I played with session files in FF4 and could not get tabs to behave normally and browser to shut down with save tabs option.
my solution was to downloaded 3 again, backed up my bookmarks to be safe, removed FF4 - keeping my personal settings, reinstalled 3.
Everything is now back to normal including tabs.
