I love firefox. So much that I am working on a dedicated blog on it.
Firefox is today the preferred browser for millions and millions of the web surfers. The best part of this fast and secure browser is its open source nature, which allows thousands of developers to create firefox extensions, firefox addon, firefox skins, firefox dictionaries and much more, which seamlessly integrate with your browser to give it a personalized touch.
And, it is fully supported by Google, the undisputed DON of Internet.
If you haven’t yet started using Firefox, then you can . And if you have been using Firefox, then there is a great set of free web tools from Google just for you. You can

Restoring last session in firefox
Firefox users know that one of most useful features of Firefox is its ability to restore the last session, by opening all the tabs, which were open when your system crashed and you lost the track. But this happens only if your system halted on its own. If you yourself exit Firefox, then the firefox will start from its home page.
But you can change this setting easily so that even if you exit firefox manually, it will open all the tabs next time, which were open when your pressed the Close button.
- Click on Tools menu > options.
- Click on the Main tab.
- Change the setting in “When Firefox Starts” field to “Show my windows and tabs from last time”.
- Save your settings.
This feature of firefox is really useful. You know small things do wonders to add your browsing experience.

I love FF for this very reason, and a few more. The one item that it is lacking is auto-refresh after you lose you internet connection and get it back. Safari has it, and it is way cool

One thing I like about Firefox is its ability to restore previous session from system crash. This saves me headache. Even IE7 has no features like this - I think.

I like Firefox but lately it keeps losing all my saved logins and passwords. It’s aggravating to have to login to everything any time I want to use it. Even more than once the same day. It used to save all my logins for months and months and I did not have to login again unless the site itself caused it. I have gone through all the FF settings, I know they are set where they should be. Is this a bug you have heard of in the recent versions?

And its possible to restoring windows and tabs from a specific day? for example, go to the history “2 days ago” and restore that session?
..because yesterday i have 5 windows with 5 or 6 tabs each but today already open the firefox without restoring last seasion (my mistake) and i wanna restoring last day…

Great tip!
I was really happy when this was added as a standard feature in FireFox, but disappointed when I wouldn’t have the option to restore my last session if I had closed that last session myself (rather than from a crash.) (The previous addon I used would always prompt you.) Now I know how to restore that functionality. So thanks!

I frequently use Firefox and I think its great. I like the fact that google supports it and its growing everyday.

Is there a way to recover a session without restoring it? I had a virus on my computer, Firefox shut down and I lost all my tabs. The restore session option came up but when I pressed it everything was lost - is there a way to recover?
