For me the headline feature is "load tabs on demand". Startup with some app tabs and tabs from previous session, is much more quicker.

Use with care, I had to disable this on Windows as after a few restarts the tabs would not load even when selected. A shame as Firefox restarts were so fast with this enabled.

For easy restarts, I recommend the Restartless Restart addon that just adds a Restart option to the main (File) menu. And doesn't require a restart to install ...

Also good for tor users, I guess.
