"Restart normally" in the Help menu ?

[gracious1]

I notice in the Troubleshooting Information page now, there is a button to "Restart with Add-ons Disabled" along with a button to "Restart normally".

Since "Restart with Add-ons Disabled" is already an entry under the Help menu, I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to put "Restart normally" in the Help menu as well?

(I realize there are a half-dozen extensions that add "Restart" to the menu and a restart button to the toolbar, but when you are diagnosing problems and have add-ons disabled, those are useless.)

+1, it'd be helpful to have Restart in the main menu without installing an extension.

Yeah, totally agree! However, I brought this up a year or two ago, and it was a no go. Possibly, I was a little to pushy.

See here: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=9630#p65577. Also, you could always try this cool little configuration trick: browser.showQuitWarning. This shows a quit dialog on browser exit, giving you the option to save and quit your currently open tabs.

NOTE: The dialog is only displayed if you have configured Firefox to display the home page or a blank page (AppMenu/Tools--> Options--> General). If you have configured it to display tabs and windows of the last session, it won't be displayed.

Seems a bit excessive, the Shift+F2 method is cool though. Still, since the function is in about:support I see no harm in adding it in the main menu, too. I restart fairly often, especially during the initial setup of a clean profile - other situations, too.

That is cool. This is enabled by default in SeaMonkey. There is also a similar dialog in SeaMonkey when you select Restart (which is a menu entry under File). The extension Restart Manager presents this dialog when installed in Pale Moon. But this really should be a native feature.

See Issue #1322.

Addtional feature request:
When browser.showQuitWarning is set to true, File->Restart should show this dialog:

(This is already the case in SeaMonkey, for example.)

Likewise, appropriate keyboard shortcut would be Ctrl+Alt+R, like so:
