I'm guessing it's not feasible to have extensions not require a restart, but it
would be nice if you could ask firefox to restart itself and immediately load
itself back up into however it currently looks.  Load up the same windows with
the same tabs with the same content scrolled to the same place.. 

It should probably load from cache instead of reloading the pages, so you don't
submit a credit card payment again or whatever.. Perhaps if a current page isn't
cacheable, then it would warn saying that the particular page won't be re-opened
on restart or something.

Reproducible: Always

Also, in general, this could be a feature for saving a setup more advanced than
just "home pages" or whatever.. 

Sort of like when you exit gnome/kde or whatever and it asks you if you want to
save how it looks for the next time you log in.

Thanks :)
