Which adds one more step.  Like I said, I don't want that behavior.
However, I do want the behavior you've described below...

Ah!  That does seem to work, almost.  Setting that to true gave me the
"Do you want Iceweasel to save your tabs for the next time it starts?"
dialog with an option to either "Quit" or "Save and Quit", and choosing
the latter preserves my open tabs and automatically restores them next
time I run Iceweasel.

However, checking the "Do not ask next time" box did not have any
effect.  I checked the box and clicked "Save and Quit", which if it
worked would do exactly what I'd like (preserve/restore open tabs
automatically on Ctrl-Q without asking), but the dialog continues to
appear (with the checkbox unchecked).
