Comment:
Hrmm, yes, this is bad behavior. We should not be displaying this page at
all in the default case. I think we can do this in Torbutton.. Maybe.
Note that we should be also preventing this thing from actually saving
anything to restore using a new Firefox API that Mozilla created for FF4,
and that may be why it just exits when you try to restore your blank
session.. However, there may be an odd race condition in that API or how
we use it as well. I've noticed on like 1 restart out of 20 that there's a
stray url still there (#4430).
We use the filter API because we need the session store to be partially
active to preserve features like "Undo closed tab", which don't require
disk access.
