<div>However, I was wondering would a restart URL similar to
Chrome's chrome://restart be acceptable in Firefox (probably
as <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:restart">about:restart</a>)? This seems like it be useful for the QA
case, as it would offer something easy to activate from the
keyboard (Cmd / Ctrl-L, enter <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="about:restart">about:restart</a>) that works in all
released builds.</div>

). It's not present for regular nightly builds, but even
if we did that it apparently wouldn't help Bruno who
just commented that he's using release. We couldn't ship
this to release because ctrl-alt shortcuts don't work
well for keyboard layouts that use AltGr on Windows for
some characters, and because it ought to be useless for
most users.<br>
<br>
I'm still interested to know why people feel they need
this on release (ie not for QA / development).<br>

Also, if you're having to do this with a normal
browser session, I'd rather figure out why you
need to restart so often that removing GCLI would
be problematic for you, than optimizing something
that most users shouldn't need to do regularly
anyway.<span class="m_4073822735855816170HOEnZb"><font
