4/3 Firefox SessionSaver plugin kicks ass. Recommend highly! -dans
\_ Actually, you will find later that it kinda sucks.
\_ Why?
\_ (1) It doesn't scale, (2) It's not all that reliable,
(3) It/Firefox have a tendency to crash.
\_ Don't have 90 myspace tabs open. I think there's
more than 1 build of session saver running around.
make sure you have the latest from the extensions
mozdev site. I haven't had it crash on me in
a long time, but I also have flashblock installed.
It's very convenient. I hate liking the same
things dans does.
\_ I'd like to have as many tabs open as I damn well
please, thank you.
\_ You're upset that you share an appreciation for a
useful tool with someone you find personally
distasteful? Words fail to describe how stupid that
is. -dans
\_ Opera's had this feature for years (sans plugin).
\_ No tabs. I grabbed the freebie Opera a few months back,
couldn't find tabs, couldn't find a Firefox style extensions
system, and uninstalled.
\_ Um, Opera is designed as MDI. Pages only exist as tabs. I'm
sorry you weren't able to figure it out.
\_ That's nice n all but if it wasn't obvious in the first
30 seconds it's a waste of my time. The software is there
to help me get my work done and improve efficiency. If I
have to spend more than 30 seconds to figure it out, it
was poorly designed. I spent several minutes looking
around for extensions but I'm sure they're there somewhere
and I'm just not smart enough to figure it out. I'll stick
with Firefox, the browser for dummies, thanks.
\_ Suit yourself, dummy.
\_ Wow, this exchange is really interesting from a
psych 101 perspective.
\_ How's that?
\_ I'm quite suited to the best browser out there,
thanks. A browser shouldn't be obscure or difficult
to figure out. If yermom can't figure it out, it is
crap. The browser does nothing more than load html
text from remote sites and display it. Why does the
program require more than the most trivial computer
ability to use it? Opera = crap. I'd go back to IE
first.
\_ Session Saver caused FF 1.0.x to crash quite often on me; I don't
know if it's better in more recent versions. --dbushong
\_ sessionsaver in moz 1.7.x and seamonkey for me seem to have problems
autosaving... sometimes I get back a session from a couple days
ago.
\_ In response to the poster who complained about
scalability/stability issues, I have yet to experience stability
problems on Firefox 1.5.0.1 on OS X, but have only been using it
for about a week now. As for scalability, it took a few minutes to
reopen Firefox after closing it with approx 65 tabs open, but that
still saves me time over manually bookmarking all tabs for every
window I have open. -dans |
