   I'm not sure about it, but at least 3 browsers: Firefox 5.0 (a),
Google Chrome (b) and Konqueror (c) load www.terra.es without errors.

   As I said in
http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg01371.html, in my
version of FF5 (a), it recovers all previous tabs, pinned or not,
according to its prior state before closing the browser. IceCat 5.0
doesn't recover previous tabs and doesn't conserve pinned ones.

   Could you post the compile options you use, .mozconfig, etc?

   It would be important if someone can confirm/refute this problem.

   Thanks for the fix: it works!

   Apart from issues 1)-5), among which 1) and 4) are serious, I also
observe:

6) The resume option when a download is paused, starts over from the
   beginning of the file. I think this problem is also present in FF5
   (a), but I'm not completely sure.

(a) 
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/5.0/linux-x86_64/es-ES/firefox-5.0.tar.bz2
(b) chromium-browser-stable-12.0.742.112-1mdv2010.2
(c) konqueror-4.4.5-0.2mdv2010.2
