Comment 30 for bug 13214

> To me that sounds like Linux networking hasn't caught up with new ways of
establishing connectivity.

Do any other platforms do anything like that?

More to the point, as far as I know neither Windows nor OS X have anything like XSMP. And for good reason - it's broken.

basics of integrating with GNOME's session management, not all the edge cases.

I understand - it will benefit some users. But imagine for a second if we got rid of both XSMP and the Firefox "restore session" dialog.

Now instead, when your browser started up it was at an about:start page . At the top would be a list of the pages you were using in the last session. One click on the link would launch it in a new tab. Moreover, after you clicked it it would disappear, so if you wanted to restore a bunch of tabs it'd just be "click click click click", done. There'd also be a "Open all in tabs" button.

This would be way more awesome than XSMP and it'd be crossplatform.
