[Approval Request Comment]
Regression caused by (bug #):
User impact if declined:
Add-on developers will be missing the new sessions API, which allows them to store tab related session data. Since m-c delayed add-on startup, developers can no longer use an Experiment to register a tabMontor and restore the data during app startup. The sessions API restored that capability.

Testing completed (on c-c, etc.):
On Daily since today.

Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky):
In core it only adds an additional trigger for a onTabRestored event, which was missing for the first mail tab. All other code is in API land and does not effect the product. There should be no risk.
