Since bug 656778 we automatically enable session restore if we detect Panorama usage. We do it silently at the moment but we want a banner to be shown.

The banner and its animation can be found here:

Could you post a screenshot and flag someone from UX for a ui-review? r+ with that.

Should probably have a button letting you undo the change or taking you to the relevant prefs pane.

I'm still concerned that someone who accidentally invokes Panorama and has their session restore behavior changed will not understand how to undo that change.

That's a good idea. The pref switch has already landed (bug 656778) so we should land this notification as soon as possible to at least let the user know what happened. Filed follow-up bug 671330.

The pref is not switched when accidentally invoking Panorama but when we "detect" actual usage (see bug 656778).

Verified on Ubuntu 11.04, Mac OS 10.6, Windows XP and Windows 7.

1. Start firefox with a new profile.
2. Enter Panorama and make some changes, such as moving a tab from one group to another.

The first time the user makes changes in Panorama in a new session the following message is displayed for a few seconds:"Tabs and groups will automatically be restored the next time you start Nightly/Aurora".
