I have a fix that is not optimal (hopefully the foxyproxy package can be fixed) but better than nothing. I looked around in my ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory, and there should be a *something*.default directory in there, where *something* is a unique salt to prevent profile guessing. Inside this directory are the Iceweasel/Firefox configuration files, among them the file that controls session saving across restarts: sessionstore.js.

My sessionstore.js reflected the windows opened after installing foxyproxy, but fortunately Iceweasel automatically generated a backup called sessionstore.bak. I closed Iceweasel completely (no firefox-bin process running), renamed sessionstore.js to something else, then renames my sessionstore.bak to sessionstore.js. After starting up Iceweasel again I have foxyproxy working and windows/tabs from the last backup Iceweasel made.

The backup wasn't 100% up to date, so I didn't get everything exactly how it was before I installed foxyproxy, but it is much better than nothing! If anyone else runs into this problem before the foxyproxy package is fixed, look for your sessionstore.bak file!
