414754 - Restarting Firefox should offer to enable session restore and/or notify that the users tabs/info will be restored if already enabled

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[u88484]

After installing an add-on and telling Firefox to restart, we should offer to enable session restore and/or notify that the users tabs and info will be restored if session restore is already enabled.

Example if already enabled:  Restart Firefox to complete your change (Your open tabs and information will not be lost)

Example if not enabled:  
'Restart Firefox to complete your changes'  Click 'Restart Firefox', dialog asking 'Would you like Firefox to save your current tabs and information and restore them after the restart [Yes] [No] [Cancel]

We always restore tabs after such restarts. Why would we change it to asking first? Seems like no one would ever want that.

Ahh ok, I've never played around without session restore being enabled.  Guess I should have tried that first.  Would have but I'm stuck at work and its practically against the law for me to use Firefox here...damn government!  Feel free to close.

We wont tinker if the user has completely disabled session store manually.
