Recently FireFox has been freezing up on me whenever I have 10-12 windows open
with a few tags in each window. This is a real pain when I have links I'm
working with scattered across the browser windows and I can't even get to them
so I can copy them. I can't reproduce this as I please, it just happens after a
while. 

Since there's no definite problem I can point out to fix I'm requesting that
when the browser crashes all the URLs be dumped to a file in the profile folder
or something. I once had to do a full memory dump of FireFox.exe to dig out some
URLs I had spent a good half an hour looking for on Google so I know the URLs
are in memory while the crash happens.

Having the URLs dumped to a file at least lets me go and get my URLs back so I
can bookmark them or get back at them if need be. I think this would be a great
feature to have, but of course I'm biased, and I don't think it would be that
hard to implement.
