Bug#766025: iceweasel: Display message when restart is needed

[Paul van der Vlis]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I would like it when users get a message on the desktop when a restart of
Iceweasel is needed, because of a (security) upgrade of Iceweasel.

Background: as a sysadmin I use Debian with Gnome on many desktops, the users
do not do the upgrades themself in most cases. Some users do not reboot often.
They get sometimes strange errors after an upgrade. After a restart of the
browser everything works fine again.

With regards,
Paul van der Vlis.
