unexpected surprises

I use the internet a lot and bop between three different browsers. REcently I started to use Firefox 2.0. I didnt notice anything amazing from the previous version. Until today.

While I was out and about, my laptop shut itself down. I guess it didn't stay asleep but whatever the reason, all my open applications and windows shut. I keep about 10 apps open at a time so this is a huge pain and lost work.

When I started up Firefox, I was trying to remember all the tabs that I had open when Firefox asked me an amazing question. Instead of starting the browser, it noticed that the browser was not shut down properly and asked if it should restore the open windows. What?! Amazing!!

What a fantastic feature, especially coming from free, open-source software. Now I only wish Microsoft would add that feature to Office, an expensive program that cannot even handle the recently used file list properly.
