The session restore feature offered in Firefox 2 is one of the best features around
For a very long time, I was facing a problem that no web browsing software application could solve. Many a times, it so happened that I was working at top speed on my web browsing software application and was surfing the net and collecting as much information as possible by opening as many windows as possible when my computer would suddenly restart.
Sometimes, the computer would restart because the web browsing software application, previously I used Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, had malfunctioned and the operating system demanded that the computer be restarted. Many a times, the computer restarted itself because of some electrical fluctuations or electrical problems. The end result was that my hard work of the past few hours would simply go waste.
The only option available with me was to visit each and every web site again and open the web sites in various windows to replicate the scenario that existed before. It does not take a rocket scientist to understand that it is next to impossible for the user of the computer to replicate the previous web browsing scenario as it was. At the end of day, I was left with a nagging feeling that my research on the internet could have been better.
If you have faced problems like the one that I mentioned above, then you too would be very happy to hear that Mozilla Firefox is incorporating the ‘session restore’ feature in Mozilla Firefox 2. As a term ‘session restore’ suggest, this feature enables the user of Mozilla Firefox to restore the previous web browsing session in the event of an unforeseen restart of the computer.
The next time you open a lot of Firefox tabs and are working at full speed and you discovered to your horror that the computer has restarted; there is absolutely no need for you to worry. Just wait for the computer to restart, log on to the internet and start Mozilla Firefox. As soon as Mozilla Firefox restarts, you will be asked whether you want to restore the Firefox browsing session that you were working on. All you have to do is say yes and in no time, you will discover that the various tabs that you were working on before the computer restarted are back on your screen. Simply put, you will be placed in a scenario where you would have been if the computer had not been restarted. You may surf the internet for entertainment purposes, you may surf the internet for information purposes or you may surf the internet for work related activities. While your reason for surfing the Internet may differ, there is no doubt that you can make use of this fantastic feature offered by Mozilla Firefox 2. It would not be incorrect to say that this feature is going to revolutionize the way people surf the internet.
The only comparison that I can come up with is the auto restore feature offered by Microsoft’s Office applications. Mozilla Firefox recognizes the fact that the internet has become a very important part of our lives and that a lot of information and data is being collected from the net for various purposes. In such a scenario, it will be unfair to expect the user to simply ignore the damage caused by the sudden restart of the computer.
The sensitivity shown by Mozilla Firefox to the problems faced by the average web browser user is amazing. Given the fact that Mozilla Firefox is an open browser browsing software application and a free web browsing software application as well, it is in the best position to keep itself up to date about the various problems faced by the surfers of the internet all over the world.
