I love the Restore Session feature, but would love it even more if it could be tweaked a little as follows:

Say for example I have 20 tabs open in Firefox, but am only interested in 5 of them. Firefox is terminated abnormally (for example, when I restart to apply Windows Updates and Explorer kills Firefox because it's popped up the "Save session?" dialog). When I reopen Firefox, it correctly shows the "Restore Session" tab with all the windows/tabs I had open.

I want to continue browsing on the last page I was at, *without opening all the other saved windows/tabs*. I can do that by ticking only the appropriate page in Restore Session, and clicking the "Restore" button, but then I will lose all the other windows/tabs I was browsing, as Restore Session then closes.

So what I'm basically asking for is a way to selectively restore windows/tabs *without having Restore Session go away afterwards*. IMO the easiest way to do this would be allow right-clicking on tabs (not windows, for obvious reasons) in Restore Session, and then popup the same context menu that appears when you right-click a hyperlink in a web page.

Reproducible: Didn't try

You can already double click on each item to restore that single tab into a new tab, so turning this into a bug specifically about context menus.
