Send Tab to device requires a Wolvic restart

[svillar]

Not a big deal, but apparently getting "send tab to device" requires a Wolvic restart. We should investigate this, because if that's the case then we better ask the user to restart once the Mozilla Accounts setup is done.

This is a followup of #1098

Sure, although I am not sure this is a good first issue anymore, but yeah

I have played around with the Firefox send tab feature, and I believe the bug if any is in Firefox not Wolvic. For instance, the feature's documentation doesn't mention anywhere that a restart is required before sending tabs to a device. I also installed the Mozilla Firefox browser on my android phone and observed the same behavior, can't send tabs until the browser is restarted. So it's a question of how Wolvic should workaround this rather than fixing a bug, for example, what if Firefox fixed the bug from their end and Wolvic keeps displaying the restart required dialog, it wouldn't be necessary.

I also noticed that the issue is resolved once I restart my desktop browser (doesn't always happen though).

Cool, that's the kind of analysis that I was looking for. So indeed after completing the mozilla accounts sync we should offer the user the possibility of restarting. I don't think it should be mandatory, but we can show a dialog mentioning that some features like "send tab to device" might not work until a restart happens.
