"Restart Firefox" button in crash dialog does not restart Firefox but just exits instead

[Stuart Langridge]

When Firefox crashes, the crash dialog (allowing submission of a report upstream) has a "Restart Firefox" button. Clicking that button does not, as far as I can tell, restart Firefox; instead, the crash dialog closes, and I have to restart Firefox myself.

This is still an issue in 18.04 at least.
