Comment (by brade):

 The cancel/reconnect prompt is shown as a modal dialog right after tor
 exits.  It will be placed over the browser window like an error alert.
 The other screenshot shows the Network Settings dialog when tor is not
 running.  I assume that tor exiting is very rare except when the user
 intentionally kills tor.

 Regarding cancel, users know it is a "safe" option.  I am open to other
 suggestions.  Clicking cancel will leave the browser in its current state
 (tor is not running).  This will allow users to copy text or take a
 screenshot or otherwise examine their browser tabs before they restart tor
 or TBB.

 For the 2nd screenshot, I am willing to add more text if someone proposes
 it.  I'm not sure what reasons tor might be exiting; I haven't been able
 to reproduce the bug some users see when tor exits during startup.  We
 could add the following text below "Tor unexpectedly exited":
   To continue browsing, you will need to restart Tor.
