This code works on FF 38 and earlier to for restarting, why not in 46?

    const nsIAppStartup = Components.interfaces.nsIAppStartup;

    // Notify all windows that an application quit has been requested.
    var os = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/observer-service;1"]
        .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIObserverService);
    var cancelQuit = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/supports-PRBool;1"]
        .createInstance(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsPRBool);
    os.notifyObservers(cancelQuit, "quit-application-requested", null);

    // Something aborted the quit process. 
    if (cancelQuit.data)
        return;

    // Notify all windows that an application quit has been granted.
    os.notifyObservers(null, "quit-application-granted", null);

    // Enumerate all windows and call shutdown handlers
    var wm = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/appshell/window-mediator;1"]
        .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowMediator);
    var windows = wm.getEnumerator(null);
    while (windows.hasMoreElements()) {
        var win = windows.getNext();
        if (("tryToClose" in win) && !win.tryToClose())
            return;
    }
    Components.classes["@mozilla.org/toolkit/app-startup;1"].getService(nsIAppStartup)
        .quit(nsIAppStartup.eRestart | nsIAppStartup.eAttemptQuit);

Maybe this is caused by the usage of windows as a variable name. You should always be cautious with using such a name as an identifier because it may get a reserved name at some time.

Hi rdwray, Is this for version 46 ESR? If so please also ask this in the mailing list for ESR versions if we cannot figure it out here.

Also scripts are generally a good question to ask about in stackoverflow.com
