A couple of (unclean) restarts of Firefox 41.0.2 later, the results are
disappointing. The troublesome behaviour, described in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650#c29 returned.

There's a general problem in the session management, that will only
appear under certain conditions (e.g. crashes), I guess, therefore it is
so hard to locate.

@Mike Hommey: We're suffering from an issue, that originates from the
17.x/18.x area of Firefox, which is IMHO the most prominent nuisance for
_heavy_ (multi desktop) Firefox users over all. This bug, started in
2007, is story telling on its own.

Adapting to new technologies, such as Wayland on the other hand, will
always suffer from teething troubles. Please don't mix these. My desktop
environment is able to restore a couple of apps just fine, where I rely
on session management for ages (e.g. okular and dolphin). This Firefox
issue points to an internal session management issue, that will need to
be solved there. If it gets to be solved there using proven desktop
environment interfaces, chances are good to find a proper way to adopt
to new technologies like Wayland.
