[Saad Shamsaee]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

Many times i need to restart the browser, without close tabs or without disabling add-ons. Not only me but many other people. you can search in Google.

Actual results:

but there is not a quick way to restart the browser. before i was using an extension, but now has been removed.

Expected results:

Please add a "Restart Browser" item in the hamburger menu. it can be shown instead "Exit" item when users press "Shift" in the keyboard.

Enter about:profiles into the address bar. Right-click that tab and choose Pin Tab to ensure it's always open. On that page, click the Restart normally… button.

Alternatively, press Ctrl+Shift+J to open the Browser Console, then Ctrl+Alt+R to restart.
