I generally love the new "Would you like to restore your session?" screen that comes up, but the list of windows and tabs is much too small when I have a lot of stuff open (approx 37 tiny pages worth).

Please make it fill the size of the window instead of being stuck at some fixed size...

Also related, maybe this should be a new bug, but when I have that many things open the scrollbar's thumb is really really hard to grab (Mac OS X). It's weird because it is not physically small, but it responds to clicks as if it's only a pixel or two high. Click too high or too low and it jumps up/down a page instead of grabbing and letting me scroll.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a billion windows
2. Force quit firefox.
3. Restart
Actual Results:  
Tiny list area that doesn't resize with the window.

Expected Results:  
Nice big list area that resizes with the window.

Essentially an enhancement request, although it does sound pretty useful, maybe just make the list itself expandable, ie with a little grippy in the corner?

It would be nice for the restore session part of the page to be proportional to the size of the page.

Yes, à la textboxes nowadays.

This would also be nice.

Moving this to Trunk, since it doesn't apply to just 3.5 (which is long-dead when it comes to adding new features).

The window list box now resizes to the size of the page, so this bug is effectively fixed.
