at night when I'm through using the computer, my yahoo email is left open on firefox. that's the only window open. in the morning when I return to the PC, my email window is closed. I have to reopen firefox.

if I do the same with Chrome, the yahoo email window is right there when I open the PC.

is their a way of checking why and how firefox closes some time during the night.

thanks.

Unless Firefox is crashing, or Yahoo is somehow closing itself, that is hard to explain. What happens if you leave a separate window (or tab) open? For example, you could leave this thread open.

Do you have tasks scheduled that run during the night that could cause Firefox to get closed?
