My Browser Crashed, But Firefox Saved Me!
Filed in archive General on August 2, 2007
This is off-topic, but I gotta tell you. I often surf with multiple browser windows open and I'm not a guy who often remembers to save his work. Well, just as I was writing the previous post here, with three Firefox browser windows open and half the post written, I got the dreaded pop-up window that tells you there's been an error and that your browser windows will close and you should prepare to cry. After slapping my head with my hand and cussing at the computer (I never say "cussing," but I would like to work it into my vocabulary), I sighed and went to open the browser back up and start all over again.
Guess what? Firefox had saved my session! A new window popped up asking me if I wanted to return to the session. I said yes, and immediately all three browser windows bounced back on screen, with my half-written blog post still in one of the windows! Ha! That's awesome! I've never seen that before. I recently upgraded my Firefox browser, and I know it didn't used to do that.
I'm not generally one to hawk products, but since this one's free, why not? If you're not using the latest edition of Firefox as your Web browser, I'd suggest hopping over there and downloading it.

I've been using Firefox since the version 1.0. In those days, crashing was a very common issue, but then the "session saver" extension become available.
That was a highly popular extension, with millions of downloads. Recently, in the version 2.0 of Firefox, that feature was integrated.
This is why I love firefox!!
And you can get much more features, just go to Tools --> Add-ons to browse for more add-ons.

As far as I know Firefox does save sessions for quite some time now :-)
