    Hello darkness my old friend. Er, actually this is Death. We've not met.

    Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

            Poxy website! :mad: When I clicked on the picture of the dishes, it resized my browser down to fit the picture (which was no bigger than what I clicked on to get a closer look). I just assumed this was a popup and closed down my browser, loosing my other open tabs! :mad:

            See, that's one of many reasons I use Chrome... It remembers your tabs, and gives you a convenient link to re-open sets of tabs you accidentally closed

                So does Firefox - if you know which bits to press. It can do it automagically too.

                    Finally some got some sense... stop spending money on what may be out there and spend money on what is actually here on earth... spend than money on fixing the deficit, funding public school,municipalities etc.

                      Anyway, don't you remember the day when they were formed? :confused: Don't tell me ... stars were so much better in those days, bigger, brighter, more twinkly? :rolleyes:

                        That makes a certain amount of sense, but I don't want to be asked about the last session I had open every time I start my browser. I want it to know when I shut the last session by mistake and when i just want to start my usual session. FF has an add-on/plugin that does this when it crashes, but I've probably turned off the "show me last session every time I start" cause I usually keep my browser open all day and I found it irritating. Is chrome that intelligent?

                              Under the History menu in FF there should be a "Restore Previous Session" option. Clicking this restores the previous session. This is no longer an add-on.

                                      Under the History menu in FF there should be a "Restore Previous Session" option. Clicking this restores the previous session. This is no longer an add-on.

                                      ok, I'm still on 3.6, I'm using the session manager add-on. I have the options checked to "save session on shutdown" and "treat closing last browser window as shutdown". and I'm still not seeing the ealier session that should have been saved in the list of sessions. I suppose I really should move to 4.
