One of my FAVORITE features of Firefox was its ability to recover the Tabs that were open prior to a crash as well as the "history" of those Tabs. Well, as of today my FF seems to have LOST that ability. No more automatic restore or no "This is embarrassing!" Tab offering to Restore the last Session. Nothing. Just tabs with my default "Home" pages.

With all these "Upgrades," like the inexplicable "plugin-container.exe," its starting to look like I.E.8 may be worth a try after all....... I'm just sayin'

This happened

Just once or twice

== Today
