Loving It

I am really digging Firefox 2.0. The power in South Georgia blinks at least once per week, at which point my computer shuts down without my knowledge. I hate that. I always have at least five programs running and five tabs open in Firefox, and I can't ever remember what the hell I was looking at when the power turned off.

But when I got up this morning, I reset the clock on the microwave, prepared a cup of coffee, and stormed into my office. I'd been working on a website and had all the needed files open as I was crafting my latest (which, by the way, is not working in IE), and now there was silence. No computer fans running; just my two monitors sitting there with orange lights, as if to tell me it wasn't their fault. I shrugged my shoulders and pressed the power button on my PC.

Windows XP Pro booted fine, just like it always does. Network drives mounted, Folding@Home started to run, the FTP server started, and the system settled in. I started Firefox to check Gmail - this is what I always do - but a box appeared:



I couldn't believe it! I never would have thought to have a browser automatically save the open tabs for this purpose! I simply clicked "Restore Session" and the browser opened up with exactly what I had open last night when I went to bed. I must say that this is wonderful. I have a home page with many useful links on it (accessible here), but there are many sites I was visiting at the time which I don't believe I would have found again.

I highly recommend Firefox for anyone.
