Um, this is not only currently a feature of Mozilla, it exists
in Netscape Communicator. EDIT/PREFERENCES/NAVIGATOR
You can select "last page visited". When you start up Mozilla,
you automagically go - to the last page visited.
You'd probably enjoy adding the HISTORY tab to your Sidebar,
too. This will allow you to revisit any page you've been to
within the period that you preserve your surfing history.

Nope. Bookmarks mark web*pages* I want to re-visit. The book
is not the website, but the entire internet. I can't think of a
better or more accurate name than bookmark.
