Nice addon, useful and small.
There's two things though:
The button doesn't appear automatically in the menu/on the toolbar in the new design.
When the button is placed to the menu, the icon looks low quality compared to the default icons (like the New Window icon, New Private Window icon, etc.).

Guys, if the button get disappeared with v33, click App button -> Customize -> Restore Defaults -> Exit. Close FF then launch again. click App button -> Customize add the Restartless button again. -> Exit. Done

Permet de redémarrer rapidement Firefox. Très léger, parfait.

Does exactly what it should do, no more and no less. For such add-ons, it is perfection.

Great simple Addon! Thank you
Request: Can you please add an icon for this so that it can be dragged and dropped on the window as per the user preference.
Right now it resides in menu bar for me (not sure why?). In modern Firefox, menu bar is hidden making the addon to use less!

...I've been using it since v1 back in 2010! 5* all the way!!!
It seems that some latest nightly 34.0a1 build must have broken something. The addon closes firefox instead of restarting it.
This in itself is not an issue, but I have set my session manager to save a session on each restart and now I keep loosing my browsing sessions each time I restart using RR.
PS: sorry for posting an issue here, but the "issues" page on github leads to a 404.

It would be awsome to also include another option to restart with no Add-ons, Extensions, or Themes. This would be great for debugging minor issues. I know there is an option using the Terminal, but would rather have a faster method. Also with the new FireFox can the restars be added under the firefox hamburger menu. Thanks

...but ever since the Australis update, the icon appears stretched when it is placed on the (horrible) menu. To the developer: please use a higher resolution image for the restart icon and I'll give this 5/5. Thank you!

Wonderful add-on. Donation in route:)

I love this add-on, as my Firefox with tens/hundreds of tabs simply needs to be restarted every couple of days, when it starts eating memory and slows down… Once the icon is updated to match Australis menu style, I will rate with full 5 stars and send a contribution! :-)

Good. But... Doesn't working properly with several profiles running simultaneously.
Reloads one - another opens.
But all was well - a long time ago.

A tiny and very useful time saver

Perfect!
Please, improve the icon to be consistent with the new icons of Firefox v29 (Australis).
