 I don't have a good self contained way of making firefox exit gracefully.
 Maybe if I wait for another 10 fucking years, firefox will do a graceful
 shutdown on either SIGTERM or SIGINT.

 My branch will display a modal dialog box asking the user to restart,
 because without modifying torbutton that's the best I can do.
