One of the single reasons I still use galeon is because of it's crash recovery. Something goes AWOL on a page, takes down the browser ... all I do is start it up, click "yes" on recover session, and the only thing I've lost is partial forms (seldom) and my tab-history (often problematic but not a showstopper).
By having the session in a plain XML file, I can go in and edit $HOME/.galeon/session_crashed.xml and manually remove the problematic page if it causes a continued crash.
So, if there were something on my phoenix wishlist, it'd be this.
Crash Recovery.

Almost works.
This <b>almost</b> works ... and does a good enough job of it to let me not worry about the minor differences.
1) I don't have the specific "save session" or "exit with session" ... no real need, since I can just kill the process instead when I need to.
2) Killing the process (SIGINT - I've not duplicated a browser crash yet) and restarting will reopen <b>most</b> of the original tabs. If I was opening/closing tabs manually before the shutdown the last few tab operations are normally forgotten.
Thanks for the pointers.

Sooner or later a browser crashes, and minimizing the problems caused is defintly a nice thing to do.
On an even more severe note, when Phoenix crashes it tends to lose my cookies, and I think it loses preferences too, although I'm not certain. I really wish it wouldn't do that.
