Ever opened a lot of tabs in Firefox? Of stuff you wanted to refer to later, things you wanted to blog about, things you wanted to send to other people, and the like?
Ever noticed that your computer was running a bit slow as a result, and decide to reboot?
Ever relied on the useful "restore session" feature when Firefox crashes or you kill the process?
And ever close down Firefox by mistake rather than killing it from Project Manager, which then makes the "restore session" feature unavailable?
And ever have it slowly dawn on you that all that stuff that you wanted to do nifty things with is gone?
Yeah, me too.
(I try to tell myself that it's a clean slate and liberating and all that, but I think I'm still in a minor amount of shock.)
I did that the other day, although the rebooting wasn't because of slowness, it was because of a new system update. Non-windows operating systems don't usually get faster when you reboot them. I've also just accidentally closed it in the past. I usually wind up scouring my history for the things which I can't remember how I found.
I don't understand why Firefox hasn't made it easier to save what you were doing, though. Opera's been able to quit and then restart on the same pages for years.

Two things:
1) Under the Main tab of the options: When Firefox starts, "show my windows and tabs from last time" and you'll always have your tabs ready to go.
2) For one-click restarts, the Restart Firefox button: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1249

Oooooh. Didn't know about that option in there. Many thanks. (And that plug-in looks useful too.)
