Comment:

 It seems like the session restore problem that I mentioned in
 ticket:13512#comment:5 does not occur, at least in TB 5.5a1 (maybe Kathy
 and I had enabled history when we tried it).  But there are a few things
 we need to fix to make this work well.  A patch for TB 5.5 is available
 here:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/?h=bug13512_01&id=33315787e7f4a0855a3533dfd93224489a7a8b72
 Please review.  Note that if we merge this fix, we will need to commit to
 providing an URL for each release that contains useful info. about the
 changes (but we already do that on the blog today).
