(Whiteboard: [Advo])

(Note: this is filed as part of the “Paper Cut” bugs — we assume that there may be multiple existing bugs on this. Please make them block this bug, and we will de-dupe if they are indeed exactly the same. Thanks!) To reproduce: 1. Open up 20+ tabs 2. Manually crash firefox (or go to a site that will crash it) 3. Notice the restore after a crash dialog box Recommendation: Use the space in the window in a better fashion. Take out the 'window within a window'. Make it obvious (through button text maybe) whether you are checking off tabs to keep and restore or tabs to discard and not restore.
How about bug 462618 which would give actual check boxes?

"Component" should be set as "Session Restore", not "General" for this bug report i think
Component: General → Session Restore
QA Contact: general → session.restore
We should fully redesign this window, giving users more options on how to repair Firefox after a crash, a nicer interface, and better UX.
