The session restore feature offered in Firefox 2 is one of the best features around
Mozilla Firefox, the first open sourced web browsing software was introduced much to the delight of millions of people who were not very happy about the traditional browsers available at that time. As a result, it gained immense popularity.
Being very small in size, Mozilla Firefox is very easy to be downloaded and installed on the system. Being free for all, it was very exciting for people to install it on their systems and try it out. Being open sourced was the icing on the cake as developers all over the world could play around with the core code of this software and provide their own inputs.
Moreover, the features that it offered were attractive and the various add ons and extensions allowed people to customize their browsers according to their individual preferences.
The security aspect is also an important factor in this software being a stiff competition to the traditional Internet Explorer. The security flaws people were encountering with the Internet Explorer were set right in Mozilla Firefox, thereby offering people a tension free and enjoyable browsing experience.
The source code of this software has been released by the Mozilla developers community so anybody can provide their inputs and improve on it. This is such a proactive approach which gave people a sense of belonging and made them feel as if they are part of the community.
The security updates are available on the official Mozilla website, which can be accessed by one and all including their competitors. Mozilla says it is all there even for the competitors to use and solve their security problems too. This large hearted gesture speaks volumes about the company and its vision.
One of the most important and interesting feature which gives the user the opportunity to browse on the net without having to worry about unexpected crashes is the Sessions Restore feature.
Due to various reasons, if the Firefox has to shut down and restart again, the Sessions restore feature lets you pick up your browsing from where you left off, making it very convenient for the user and saves a lot of valuable and useful time.
All the tabs and windows open at the time of shut down, text typed by the user and the downloads that were in progress will be restored once the computer restarts. The user can even set the previous sessions to be restored by default in Firefox 2.0.
This feature gets activated only on forced restart after installing extensions and crashes. Otherwise it remains passive not interfering with the user’s browsing experience.
Some of the other important add-ons which play an important role in the popularity of this software are the tabbed browsing feature, inbuilt calculator, integrated search, live bookmarks, pop up blocker, and many more.
The excellent back up support provided by Mozilla to its users is another significant factor. If the user has any problem with the browser, he just has to contact the Mozilla support staff and he is promptly guided online to identify and set right his problem. All this is free of cost.
Mozilla sure makes the users feel very important and valued. In spite of being a master in this field, their humility shows through in their every aspect and gesture, showing people it is not only the aspect of money but their genuine interest in making the browsing experience as cost effective, interesting, enjoyable and safe as possible for the user.
