Description of the issue:
With a large number of windows, most with several tabs, Brave was crashing on start up ‘Restore’
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
This has just occurred - not sure how to reproduce.
Actual Result (gifs and screenshots are welcome!):
Every time I restarted Brave and selected the ‘Restore’ option it would crash. Now it is no longer offering the ‘Restore’ option.
Expected result:
Reproduces how often:
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Running on Linux Mint 19.2
Version 1.0.0 Chromium: 78.0.3904.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Additional Information:
In my previous session I had several windows open, most of which had several tabs. Even after a controlled system shutdown, Brave always starts with a message that it didn’t close down properly so I always have to select the ‘Restore’ option after startup.
This morning, after selecting ‘Restore’, Brave would start restoring all windows/tabs but then just simply vanished within a minute.
If I started Brave from the console, the following output was produced:

I attempted to restart Brave several times and it crashed within a minute of selecting the ‘Restore’ option.
On searching, I found a comment that startup crashes could be related to ‘hardware acceleration’. I went to settings and turned the hardware acceleration setting off, now restarting Brave no longer offers me a ‘Restore’ option.
I’ve gone into history to attempt to reopen windows but it only ever reopens single tabs, not entire windows with all tabs.
How can I get back all of the windows/tabs which were open in my last session?
Firefox offers the ability to selectively restore windows from a previous session after an improper shut down, but I cannot see how to do this in Brave.
