How to keep form data on session restore
In Firefox 3.x when I session was restored it also restored form data, I'd guess using cookies??? Not sure.
For example if I create php page with a form and text field. And let's say this php page on submit fills some form fields. After session restore it would show me that data. It was really cool feature. I had several open tabs for the same search form and when I restored session they basically kept "search phrase".
In Firefox 10 I get restored those 5 tabs with this blank search page and have to remember and retype my search words.

Are you using Clear Recent History to clear any data (cache) when you close Firefox?
- Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
I'm using "Remember History" - it has no additional options
To see all the History and Cookie settings, select:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
if I select "Custom" then "Clear Recent History" is not selected
Does it work with a simple page like the about:home page?
Did you check for problems with session restore?
about:home is different. When you submit form there - reply data comes encoded in URL - GET parameters.
I'm having issue when reply data comes in POST
