 Start your TBB. Load something in Firefox. Then kill -9 the firefox
 process. Exit Vidalia.

 Start TBB again. When it launches Firefox, the Firefox window says "Well,
 this is embarrassing." and wants to restore your session.

 When I click 'restore session', the window disappears and that's it. No
 more browser for me. (When the window disappears, I think Vidalia
 concludes that Firefox has exited. Back when TBB had the "close everything
 else when Firefox closes" behavior, my Vidalia would shut down too when I
 clicked on 'restore session'.)

 Shouldn't Torbutton be disabling whatever writes my session state to disk?
