    I've seen a lot of problems reported with the Restore Previous Session button on the about:home page not working and I see this issue myself as well.

    It looks that it is caused by the large snippet that currently has a Persona preview in it.

    Deleting the snippets key in chromeappsstore.sqlite key with the SQLite Manager extension works for me.
    Deleting chromeappsstore.sqlite seems to cause a problem because Firefox doesn't create new keys unless I reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone to the default and that causes the problem to reappear and browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl needs to be set to an empty string to prevent that.

    Thanks, Cor-el. I filed a bug, but we should probably get this to the RRR team ASAP.

    Duped your bug. I raised this a while (while) ago but it seems like no one noticed it and they pushed the snippet anyhow.

    I'll raise a bigger issue now.

    We have an engineer working on this now ... at the very least we should be able to pull that snippet off the wire.
