User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0 Build ID: 20160610001751 Steps to reproduce: $ firefox --help Actual results: Didn't see any --restore-previous-session command line switch . Expected results: There really should be one. That way one can 'perfectly' restore previous session, instead of having to poke through the menus of a new session to find it.

There's an enterprise usecase for this that we've found out about (and probably the reason that Chrome has it).

If Firefox is updated by a third party, you need a way to restart it and preserve tabs/session even if the pref isn't set.
