We wouldn't want to restore every single argument (-chrome anyone?) and I can't find a very easy way to do that since C arrays are completely hopeless but I can at least make the profile persist by exposing the profile name as an extern variable.

This supports returning to the same profile you picked and also fixes a bug where session restore would deadlock while "waiting" for Firefox to report its status. Turns out we need to pass our command line arguments after all instead of making up our own on the spot since when restarting, session restore will add its own command line arguments.

I don't know what to do now, noone else really knows the session restore API very well (even though it is just one call anyway) and this also got r+ from Gavin who is the closest I can find to a Linux toolkit/browser peer. Should I just request a1.9 or look for someone to have a second opinion?
