firefox restore/reset session dialog have button order swapped

Bug Description

Look at the button order in the two attached screenshot. This is causing me to click at the wrong button every now and then. Pressing "new session" instead of restore is a world of pain because typically you don't remember exactly what pages you had open. Especially for people that keeps TABs/windows open as a "todo list" (i.e something they want to read "later").

If Ubuntu wants to resolve bug #1 it's necessary to minimize the "worlds of pain" users have to deal with when they transition.

Does anyone know of reasons why any of these button orders are better? Maybe the one in windows could be changed instead?

Thanks for the bug report. I think this is due to Gnome desktop's guidelines. The "restore previous session" is considered (as its icon shows) as a "Yes/OK" button, and the other as a "No/Cancel" button, therefore their order. Thus, I'm marking this bug as invalid for now.
