I would suggest something different: I recently saw a Safari Session Restore window (some plugin) which had the buttons "Cancel" and "OK", aligned to the right. It actually is a dialog box popping up before the browser is started, but after thinking about it I think this would also be a good way for Firefox, even when session restore is not a modal dialog box, along with replacing the heading "Well, this is embarrassing." by "Restore Session" (as it also is in the page title).

Why?
 - When the user reads the headline "Restore session", the meaning of the options "OK" and "Cancel" is obvious
 - Even if "Start New Session" and "Restore" say more explicitly what is done, "Start New Session" reads like an "OK" message which I think is one of the reasons I am clicking it unintentionally
 - There is a default layout for "OK" and "Cancel" buttons that every user is familiar with
 - The heading "Well, this is embarassing." might be true but is not what the user needs to read when first seeing this page and quickly deciding which button to click. The sentence could be included in the text paragraph below.
