It takes a bit of tweaking to make it useful but once you toss the work at it is nice. I like to always have my blog login, bloglines and delicious open on start up. FYI there are a few good sites on how to use the config file to tweak FF even more.

I looked for that several times. I don't know why I didn't see it. It's only the first option in the first tab of the Options panel.

I had something like "standard setup" -- I have one window with tabs for gmail, hotmail, bloglines, my timesheet, etc., then other windows for searching and other web stuff. If I remember to close the standard setup window last, then I can bring it back, but otherwise, poof! (I think!)

Every time Windows is logged out with all apps still open -- a perfectly legal approach -- Firefox panics and thinks it's crashed!! Next time you open it you get a warning about it. How can they seriously not tell a crash from a deliberate exit?

I'll look into what chonhart posted and see if I can find something that will work for crashes and not clean exits. Else, this may be a case for Bugzilla and a customary five year wait while they argue about why none of the suggested solutions could *possibly* work...

By the way, SessionSaver was not this retarded, and it was perfectly capable of saving forms, session cookies and restoring the active tab. It did open all your windows in the wrong order, which was a pain because I tend to associate pages which which Firefox button in the taskbar they came under, and this order is all scrambled if I close Firefox.

SessionSaver does seem to be very slow, and in 1.5.x, is quite possibly what makes Firefox start grinding to a halt within a day or two of uptime, whereas with 1.0.7 (my preferred version) it would run for a few weeks before it was too slow to use. I hope that the built-in session saving in Firefox 2 is not as slow as SessionSaver ...

However, I did find "browser.startup.page" which has a default value of 1. Is this what I ought to be changing?

Thanks.

Still FF2 is asking me if I want to restore the sessions each time I start it after closing down the computer without closing the FF window. Any other suggestions to make this question go away?
Thanks.

There is another config setting, as described in
the following page near the end. http://www.neveprise.net/main.do?id=howto-misc-firefox-kiosk

It worked. No more dialog box asking if I want to restore previous sessions..
