patch
Here's a better, somewhat more verbose patch that doesn't require
anything beyond what we already use. When receiving SIG{INT,TERM} and
restarting, we now display about:home with an option to restore your
last session instead of the "this is embarrassing" page.
As with any modular app using signals, I am unsure of how this interacts
with code that already tries to deal with signals:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
central/source/profile/dirserviceprovider/src/nsProfileLock.cpp#440
nsAppShell appears to install its handlers after this.
There's also some code in breakpad, which I assume doesn't come into
play here.

Title:
MASTER Firefox crashes on instant X server shutdown
Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Firefox crashes when X server is forcefully torn down (e.g. by
pressing ctrl-alt-backspace) and a crash report gets generated on next
login.
(Original Report:
I've reproduced it once on my machine with the following steps. With, oh,
about 5 tabs open, I just pressed ctrl-alt-backspace, logged back in when the X
server restarted, and FF crashed with a bug report when Gnome tried to restore
the session.
It's not terribly important, I don't think anyone does this very often, but
maybe it'll be helpful.
