Firefox 3 remembers form content

Here's something cool I hadn't noticed. I was in the middle of a blog post when Vista started throwing display driver errors and eventually blue screened.

I was pretty thrilled about losing a good half hours work, as you can imagine.

So when I restarted the machine, and opened Firefox, it asked if I wanted to restore my session. I did.

It's alive!

To my surprise, my blog post was there, happily sitting in the text box where I left it before the BSOD (blue screen of death). So the Firefox session not only contains your open tabs, but any unsaved form data as well.

I'm very impressed - what a great feature. Thanks again Firefox.

That is a very cool feature.

Now if only it can add a "Reopen all windows from last seesion" like Safari has it will be clearly better than everything else in that regard.
