Firefox memory

So i notice that if opera crashes, when you open it back up it re-opens all the tabs you had open. Is there a way to make firefox do this? I just about slit my wrists every time the fucker dies cause it's impossible to remember all the stuff i had open even though most of it is important :(

    you can download tabmix plus... it has a sessionsaver... or download sessionsaver :P They are both extensions.

    how ironic that to install the thing to make it remember what i had open i have to close the thing. Thanks though :)

    session saver is an awesome extension. you can set it up so that it auto opens tabs everytime you start firefox.

    One word of caution though... while debugging a flash movie I accidentally had it spawn a window to a page on a loop. It would endlessly open new firefox windows. I had to use task manager to close firefox. I thought to myself, "whew, that was close. Almost crashed my computer there!" Then I opened Firefox back up and session saver politely reloaded the page with the screwed up flash movie... So word to the wise - Be careful what you have open when you shut down firefox because Session saver will reload it every time.

    haha. that's funny, though.

    It's probably best to not use the automatic page-load at start feature, while it is handy, it can be more trouble than it's worth. Calling lost sessions from the file menu is much better :)

    Launching in safe mode is a good alternative at home. At work, right, you don't want anybody to see on which site you were surfing, in case your (EDIT: Windows, Mac, Linux) session stays opened :-D

    Fucksakes. ff just crashed and i didnt quite realise this thing restored my 'last' session - which in this case was a blank window. ugh.

    yeah, in that case, mini, you may wish to stick to one window browsing instead of your usual 2+ as if one crashes, they all do and typically the last one open gets recorded and what-not. and 50% of the time I'm willing to bet nothing is loaded in that last instance.

    the snap-back-tab function is also excellent for those "awww sh*te i closed it by mistake" moments.

    heh. just crashed again. Seems i got sessionsaver to save all 3 open windows. neato.

    I just want to add at this point that sessionsaver is an absolute godsend. Much love to those who suggested it.
