Not sure if I should raise a new feature request for my issue or not, but its related to this, I'm not sure how closely though.

I don't have Firefox configured to prompt to save my tabs when I quit, so I don't expect my tabs to be restored after I select exit manually.

However, if I install a Firefox addon, or if I upgrade Firefox on Mac OSX or Windows, it asks me to restart, and when I click restart, and it resumes the session with my open tabs. I really like this feature because the only time I want to restore my tabs is when I'm restarting to pick up an update.

Obviously, if Firefox updates are being managed by something other than itself, there's no way for Firefox to know when you select exit whether you want your tabs to be restored or not, so it would be nice if Ubuntu provided this option to tell Firefox to restart to pick up updates.
