Recently I posted about browsers, and, particularly, about recently released Mozilla Firefox 2.0. One of the new features of Firefox 2.0 is integrated Session Restore functionality - a system, which brings back all your browser windows, tabs, and unsaved text after a crash of the application.

It turns out, Session Restore needs to be properly activated. And, as it also turns out, it’s not that easy to find any documentation on how to do it. So, to save you some time and effort, here is the tip from Darin Marshall:

In Windows, go to Options > Main > When Firefox Starts and select Show my windows and tabs from last time. The default is normally Show my home page. What this does is, every time you close Firefox 2 with one or more tabs open, the same tabs are opened again the next time the application is launched. I absolutely love this feature. Your mileage may vary depending on your personal taste.

For Mac users, the instructions are just a tad bit different: Go to Firefox > Preferences > When Firefox starts and select the Show my windows and tabs from last time option from the pop-up.

Many thanks to Alexey Yudichev, who sent me the link.
