Thunderbird crash dialog: "restart thunderbird" button doesn't work

[Alan Jenkins]

After noticing it on a bona-fide crash, I was able to reproduce this as follows:

1. Run thunderbird
2. "killall -SIGSEGV thunderbird-bin"
3. Don't report this (faked) crash; but click "restart thunderbird".

It didn't work for me; I had to restart Thunderbird manually. No great hardship, just a bit annoying that it doesn't do what it said it would.

Hello Alan,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with the Thunderbird crash dialog.

You made this bug report in 2011 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 876570

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
