Disaster strikes!

I opened Firefox this morning, expecting Session Saver to restore to me, as usual, my eleventy-million lovingly hoarded tabs. Instead, it restored to me ... a shade card from some obscure online wool shop. AAAARRGGHH!! Only people with Session Saver will understand my state of distress here. My failure to actually bookmark anything any more. GOOD GOD, THERE WAS UNREAD FIC IN THERE! I've just been combing the history for stuff, and have recovered 21 bits of stuff, but that's just a fraction of it, honestly. A fraction! Gah!

Why yes, it is all your fault! *shakes fist* ;)

What's session saver?

It's an extension for Firefox that saves your last session when you close the browser and restores all the tabs you had open when you next open Firefox. Have a look here.

Thanks - I'll give it a go!

Don't you just hate it when computers do things like that?

Evidently you haven't been sacrificing often enough to the gods of the internet, who decided that a good smiting was in order. Any chance it will magically return the way it disappeared?

Every once in a while, when you have your umpteen tabs o' joy open, right click on one of them and choose "Bookmark All Tabs". If Session Saver loses it's way again, simply find the folder where all the tabbed bookmarks were previously saved, middle-click it, and voila - your tabs reappear!

Bah! Livejournal logged me out without telling me, and the above ended up being posted anonymously *shakes fist at LiveJournal and it's subdomainy evilness*
