New session restore handling in Firefox
Oct 15th, 2008 @ 21:19I'm running the latest Firefox trunk version (currently "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081015 Minefield/3.1b2pre ID:20081015032107") and when my browser just crashed (it does repeatedly at the time, the builds are seriously unstable), I saw this window:

It looks as if there's going to be a new session restore handling coming in Firefox 3.1. In the smaller window (with the columns "Restore" and "Windows and tabs") Firefox lists all windows and tabs in every window that were opened when Firefox crashed.
Consider this: You know what page made Firefox crash. And you know reloading that page will make Firefox crash again. So a session restore is no good. Well, no more - because now you can just uncheck that page in the list and it won't be restored. Nice.
By the way, the session restore local URL in Firefox is "about:sessionrestore" in case you wanted to know.
See what others are saying about the "about:sessionrestore" feature
