I've got a problem where sometimes on session restore, some tabs open as "New tab" and show favicon only. I checked in the sessionstore folder and found that for the tabs that failed to open, the URL is missing (in recovery.js, previous.js and recovery.bak). Any idea why some don't get saved? I'm on Windows 8.1, FF 47.0.1 (up to date). I didn't have this problem on my work Mac.

Here's a sample:

{"version":["sessionrestore",1],"windows":[{"tabs":[ // this is the Duolingo entry which is fine {"entries":[{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/practice","title":"Duolingo: Practice","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472087,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":5,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/","title":"Duolingo: Home","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472088,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":5,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/show_store","title":"Duolingo: Home","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472089,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":5,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/","title":"Duolingo: Home","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472090,"docshellID":0,"scroll":"0,33660","docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":5,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/practice","title":"Duolingo: Practice","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472091,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":6,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/","title":"Duolingo: Home","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472093,"docshellID":0,"scroll":"0,21540","docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":6,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/practice","title":"Duolingo: Practice","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472094,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":6,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/","title":"Duolingo: Home","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472095,"docshellID":0,"scroll":"0,17400","docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":6,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/practice","title":"Duolingo: Practice","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472096,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":6,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/","title":"Duolingo: Home","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472097,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":6,"persist":true},{"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/show_store","title":"Duolingo: Home","charset":"UTF-8","ID":36472100,"docshellID":0,"docIdentifier":17,"structuredCloneState":"AAAAAAgA//8AAAAAEwD//w==","structuredCloneVersion":6,"persist":true}],"lastAccessed":1468744659625,"hidden":false,"attributes":{},"userContextId":0,"index":11,"formdata":{"id":{"text-input":"tại sao"},"xpath":{"/xhtml:html/xhtml:body/xhtml:textarea":"tại sao"},"url":"https://www.duolingo.com/practice"},"userTypedValue":"","userTypedClear":0,"image":"https://www.duolingo.com/images/favicon.ico?v=3"}, // this is the Facebook entry which is missing URL and doesn't load {"entries":[],"lastAccessed":1468784970425,"hidden":false,"attributes":{},"userContextId":0,"userTypedValue":"","userTypedClear":0,"image":"https://www.facebook.com/rsrc.php/yl/r/H3nktOa7ZMg.ico"}

I suspected it might have to do with Unloadtab and seems that's indeed so: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/reviews/?src=api

I was still using an old version of FF on my work computer, so that's why I didn't have the problem then.
