What I like about Firefox is the tabs and the holding of those
tabs across crashes, etc. Vital info reliably and lazily held.
However... Firefox is showing new behaviour. I had five or
six windows with maybe 40 tabs between them. Then with a
'start' Firefox opened duplicates and I had 9 windows; then 15,
then more and more to well over 50 with a comensurate multiple of
tabs, all trying to access the web at the same time.
The effect was to completely jam the machine [Xp SP2, Dell]. Is
there a solution which a) saves the information or b) loses the
information but does not involve re-installing.
Or should I go to he newest Firefox, Vista is it?
Yours, M$-ered,
Both Opera's and Firefox's latest versions (8 and 9, and 2
respectively) will save your tabs during a crash or a normal shutdown.
When you reopen the browsers there is an option to continue 'last
session'. Updating versions also preserves settings for both browsers.
Are you saying that FF just suddenly started to open more and more
browser sessions? Or that you keep opening multiple sessions rather
than tabbing? Opening 40 or more tabs would make it hard for me to
keep track of things. That's a lot of system resources to use. It's
not surprising the machine broke down.
I've only seen multiple uncontrolled openings like that on Konquerer
(Linux browser) when plug-ins like Flash insist they need to installed
immediately.
You might want to think about updating to a version where the tabs are
preserved. And Vista is the new MS operating system, not a browser.
