In these conditions, about:newtab is supposed to display thumbnails of the most visited websites of the current session (according to fixed bugs 744388 and 736724). The behavior I observe is that about:newtab only displays the thumbnail of the first visited website of the current session, in top-left position. The eight other thumbnails remain blank (no text, no image). Yet thumbnails are correctly generated and saved in the "thumbnails" directory in my profile directory. In the attached picture, I've opened www.omgubuntu.co.uk, www.nytimes.com, boards.4chan.org/b, www.perdu.com, about:newtab in five different tabs, in that order, in a new session, with all addons/plugins/language packs deactivated. I've waited for each webpage to load completely before opening the next one. None of these websites uses HTTPS or Cache-Control: no-store/no-cache. Actual results: Only the first visited website gets a thumbnail in about:newtab, despite thumbnails for all websites appearing in the "thumbnails" directory. The same behavior occurs when starting Firefox in Safe Mode. Expected results: Unless I am mistaken, about:newtab should display thumbnails for the four visited websites, not just the first one. What can I do to help troubleshoot this behavior? I reported this bug on Launchpad against Ubuntu's firefox package (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081123), but it doesn't get much attention there.
