Restore page pop up helps in restoring your session in case there is unexpected browser crash is encountered. This is quite a handy feature which restores your page before the crash happens, without loosing any work you were doing before crash.

robbiewilkes1966@: Is there any specific reason you want this pop up to be disabled?

It's problematic when using it in kiosk mode, in conjunction with HTPC.
Specifically, I am launching YouTube Tv, YouTube and Netflix from KODI,
utilizing a remote control.  As there is no "good" way to exit from kiosk,
I utilize the clear button (alt-f4) to close and return to KODI, which,
randomly, results in the restore box.

In researching this issue, via Google, of course, I have found numerous
other folks dismayed and complaining about the "Restore Pages" box, and the
removal of a means to disable it.  There are hacked solutions of write
protecting / modifying-at-launch the config file, but neither are truly
elegant or problem-free solutions.

A simple checkbox, or, better, a command-line parameter (--ignore crash
status) would prevent a lot of heartache for those of us using kiosk mode.

Thanks for considering my suggestion.
