Details

(Whiteboard: [notacrash]) 

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090615 Firefox/3.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090615 Firefox/3.5

OS X kernel panicked on me, and when I restarted Firefox, it gives me the following message:

"Well, this is embarrassing.

Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page."

The problem is that the crash wasn't caused by Firefox, and there is nothing wrong with my windows and tabs.  I would expect to see this message only if Firefox tried to restore everything then crashed immediately.  I click restore, and everything restores with no trouble.  A message like this is better:

The error that is given implies that some tab caused the crash, no matter when the actual cause it, and says Firefox is having trouble restoring m session when it is not.

The message is accessible at about:sessionrestore if you want to see it without crashing Firefox.
