Subject: Re: side-effect of tabbed browsing
If you have multiple tabs open when you close the newest version of
Firefox (3.0), Firefox gives you the option to save the current tabs so
they will all open next time you launch Firefox. Much more polite.
Jim Shaeffer
Ever since browsers began offering tabbed browsing, some years ago, I've
been operating with lots and lots of tabs open. In fact, I often make it
a point to shut down my computer with Firefox still open - closing the
program manually closes all the tabs, whereas letting Windows or Liinux
force it closed causes it to remember all the tabbed connections and
give you/me the option to just resume all the same sessions/connections
when next you start the browser. Yes, there are other ways to get back
to where you were, but this one is minimal fuss for me.
