How can we allow session restore to bring back private windows when browser crashes?

It's not great when the browser crashes unexpectedly. I understand with privacy settings that you wouldn't want to store information, but during a crash, if there is any private windows open, Firefox should ask us... If we want to allow a session restore for the private windows that were already open beside the other options of sending browser details and whatnot.

Is this possibly already implemented perhaps through tweaking the about:config page? If it's a terrible idea to give the user the option before closing the Firefox crashed notification, at least implement it into the about:config for us to enable.. Nobody should lose their work to crashes.

Thoughts or comments?..
