It seems like the solution to this would be for the first opened window to trigger the session restore, and the session restore process goes like this:
1. Open additional win32 windows in the correct order 2. Load the basic browser XUL into each window 3. Bring the 'priority load'/active window to the foreground (*not* reorder it, just focus it) - iirc on Win32 this will work if Firefox is currently focused, and if it's not focused it will not work but the user won't notice. 4. Load tabs into the priority load window until you're done. 5. Load tabs into the non-priority load windows. That seems like it would ensure that the active window (the one the user is most likely to want to browse with, and the one that will be focused) loads and becomes responsive first while the other windows load in the background.
