I'm starting to think that this is not related to CoreSpotlight at all.

If this was a startup crash, we would crash when the app was started - that does not happen - we show the 'you crashed, do you want to restore tabs' dialog.


I think what happens is that we get a false positive. It is entirely possible that force quitting the app is causing a crash or some report that makes Sentry think there was a crash last time you used the app. And as a result we show the dialog.

To the user this sort of makes sense. They force killed Firefox. As a result they will be asked if they want to to restore tabs. It is not how we designed this, but it is also not very bad.
