Mozilla seems to have removed the restart button for Firefox for reasons beyond me. But this makes restarting Firefox while keeping your session a great hassle. One has to exit, wait for Firefox to end all of its processes, open it again, click the menu button, and click the restore previous session button hidden in there. Can't you please just bring back the restart button that does all of these steps for me?

Edit: Ugh, this was meant to be a feedback message, I don't know how it ended up in the support forum. I'd like to delete it, but it seems I don't have the means to.
