WONTFIX is probably closest to the mark, but this is working as designed. Not everyone will agree with the design, that's fine, but six years down the road I don't see any compelling rationale for changing this behaviour for the majority of users. It might make sense to tweak the wording.

I will note that browser.warnOnQuit is perhaps misnamed, as the only functionality it is intended to cover is as a hidden boolean to automatically suppress warnings when set to false. It exists to support test configurations. Setting it to true does not force a prompt, nor is that intended behaviour.

Also, downloads should resume with session restore, and session cookies for all open tabs should also be restored by default. I don't have an example where either is untrue, but if either behaviour is failing, we should file specifically scoped bugs for that issue. The other cases seem like either corner cases we can decide on in isolation (i.e. better use of cache for restoring pages).
