Drew,
I was able to read your latest in Chrysanthemum, but I can't
copy
from it - I think you are right about upgrading. I take it the
information on the tabs will be saved?

What I like about Firefox is the tabs and the holding of

However... Firefox is showing new behaviour. I had five

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.
