I'll be browsing about the net, and accidentally hit a site that wants to install spy sheriff or some such thing on windows. i dont like clicking any of the buttons on the "are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? I don't like being in the position of having to click anything from these people. So I hit control alt delete, and kill the process. restarting firefox immediately brings me to where i was before! due to session restore being immediate. perhaps its a bad idea for security to make it so immediate. it would be nice to have the choice first off, with a " go to home page " button present like it is on the OOPS screen.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit toxic site wanting to install malware.
2. Kill process in task manager.
3. Restart Firefox.
Actual Results:  
session restore makes previous malware page appear immediately

Expected Results:  
please let it give me a choice.
