Saving multiple tabs on Iceweasel 4.0x

Yes, it's down, but both versions are 4.0.1. I'm not sure will it work, because I did not look at filelist and dependencies of a package and I'm not sure if it's only 32 bit on http://mozilla.debian.net/ available, but when it's up you can try to install it, it might work.

Anyhow, as they said;

Warning: This package is from the experimental distribution. That means it is likely unstable or buggy, and it may even cause data loss. Please be sure to consult the changelog and other possible documentation before using it.

And obviously that package is not well tested like the one from http://mozilla.debian.net/.

And one more idea, have you created another profile in Iceweasel?

Yes. As I said in an earlier post I am well aware that I am using Experimental and so a certain number of problems are inevitable. Regarding "profiles", I'm not sure what you mean by that. I haven't knowingly created any profiles in iceweasel.

Sometimes using another profile can (and many times it did) solve some problems. Here's a quick googie; http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager

YES! Good news: Creating a new profile does indeed restore multiple tabs. Bad news: My iceweasel is highly customised (plug-ins, extensions, search engines, etc. etc.). I have my bookmarks, passwords, plug-ins copied to the new profile but none of my extensions (I have a lot of them) have made the trip and I haven't yet found anything about copying them in the documentation. This may be more trouble than it's worth since not restoring tabs in a minor annoyance but I can't live without the extensions functioning. In any event I now can get multiple tabs restored if I want to and this is thanks to you, Alan. So thanks again for your time and patience. It is truly appreciated.
