Loading ...Restore sessions at will
I have Firefox configured to restore my tabs and windows from the last session. However, reality has proved that it’s not always useful to have it set like that and sometimes it is just annoying to wait for a bunch of tabs and windows I don’t need to be restored.
Enters Session Fix a Firefox extension developed by Sven Jost, that adds a button to the close window confirmation dialog to easily tell Firefox that you want your open tabs and windows restored on the next start. Simple as that.
There are a couple of catches though. You must set Firefox to start with your home page or a blank page, otherwise it will restore tabs and windows every time (Tools/Options/Main). And, you must enable Warn me when closing multiple tabs in Tools/Options/Tabs or no dialog will be prompted.
A great extension, perfectly blended with Firefox UI and available in 15 languages. Get it at Mozilla Add-ons. Vote for this review

No need for an extension; just kill the Firefox process, and it will ask whether you want to restore on the next start.
Not exactly a clean solution, but a viable one…
