The developer has done a great job with this add-on. I've been using it for a long time, and it's one of my absolute "must haves".

Recently, I "upgraded" to Firefox v29, and I have since been going through the tedious and painful process of trying to get the browser back into a usable state again.

Unfortunately, far too many of my customisations and favourite extensions have been broken by the radical changes that have been made in Austtalis.

I didn't have much hope of Restartless Restart working because it adds a menu item into the Firefox button menu (which no longer exists in Firefox v29). I do use Classic Theme Restorer which re-creates the appearance of the Firefox start menu, but it's obviously not the same as the real thing (seeing as the real menu has been completely removed by the Firefox developers). This means that most extensions that interact with the Firefox menu are now broken because the real menu is gone and the fake one created by Classic Theme Restorer is not recognised.

However. much to my surprise, Restartless Restart worked perfectly, even with the Classic Theme Restorer version of Firefox menu! It added itself in the correct position too; i.e. the well-chosen position ABOVE the Exit menu entry (rather than throwing it onto the end of the menu under the Exit button (as so many careless extension developers do).

I'm so delighted that this excellent extension continues to function exactly as it did before, despite some really dramatic changes to the browser that could have so easily broken it.
