* No privileged code is needed on the start page, and we'll get decent visibility and a known/tested implementation that we're already using. * This will probably add a string, but be quite straightforward and self-contained. * Paul mentioned that he could make the crash recovery code pass in an attribute that would conditionally activate the crash text, but make it default to a simpler version with a message that is simply a "Restore Session" headline, and remove the "Start new session" button. * Make Firefox Start have a link to about:sessionrestore, and change the default text - right now, its default state is the "OMG you crashed" messaging. Instead, we recommend the following, given the limited time left, and to manage risk: With our focus on startup speed and not getting in the way of the user, it seems wrong to present all our users with a dialog when they are shutting down their browser, especially since we already made the session saving enabled by default. * Keep what we do now, ask on exit - we'd really like to avoid this.
* Show a text similar to Work Offline (ugh) on Firefox Start saying "You can restore your previous session from the History menu" - really not what we want, but is technically the simplest thing we could do. * Make about:home privileged code, so clicking a link can restore your session - unlikely to happen, since it's too risky and changes too much, and would need security review, etc. Things that were considered, but we *aren't* pursuing right now: So if your browser crashes, you can recover and reopen tabs with just a few clicks.Morphing the title of this bug, since I think we have a workable and low-risk approach now.
