272036 - Mozilla Track

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 36810

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[mike lima]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

My suggestion is the following: one of the most annoying things when Mozilla
crashes, and it crashes several times (many of these problems related to Flash,
Java and other plugins), is that you lose the pages you were on, the tabs that
where opened, etc.

I suggest a way to keep track automatically of what windows and tabs are opened
and which pages are being saw on that windows/tabs, all transparent, without
user intervention, so, when the user runs mozilla again after a crash, a window
would pop up and offer an option called RESTORE PREVIOUS PAGES BEING SAW BEFORE
CRASH.

Another usefull thing is that this function can also be offered as an option for
what to do when mozilla starts, i.e., an user can choose to always restore last
opened pages when running mozilla.

Bugzilla (the product you filed this bug against) isn't a browser, it's a bug
tracker. :)  You used Firefox to file this bug, but you state "Mozilla" in your
description.  I'm going to go with your description and assume you mean the
Mozilla Application Suite, and move this bug there.

To the crashing: Try to keep your plugins up-to-date, for example a big crasher
was fixed in Java 1.5.0

Yes they are. I have the latest version of all of them. Anyway, this is a
suggestion for a function...:-)
