I don't know if this is the case, but I definitely understand how it could happen.

Chrome's Incognito mode has the exact behavior of not supporting things like session restore and closed tab reopening. It's kind of annoying for those of us who occasionally use Incognito windows like a convenient transient separate profile (specifically "give me a different cookie jar because some site's login is broken"), but I think the loss of functionality is worth it given what the mode is actually /for/.

It makes me wonder though if it'd be worthwhile having a mode that gives you a separate cookie jar but keeps the browser settings otherwise identical (bookmarks, suggest, etc). I suspect the distinction is too subtle for most people however.

I used to use it for that but now with chrome profiles I've setup a new person for that called Mr Debug. It's good in that I can enable different extensions, ones that I wouldn't have enabled normally and disable the ones that interfere with dom inspections (looking at you Evernote).

You can run both at once.
