Yes, that is my daily experience, though I almost always start FF with a script that opens the local wunderground 10-day forecast. I close that before pressing Restore. If I 'lose control' of FF, which is rare, then it gets killed with pkill -SIGKILL (9). OTOH, at the end of the day, I synchronise my INBOX (quitting mutt will do that), check /tmp/ for any files that might be useful to preserve in ~/temp/, then I zap fvwm and touch the power button. (First zapping fvwm avoids occasionally having to wait for a 90-second timeout to expire.)

When I'm working in FF, I always open pages in a new tab. So my tabs are in 'zones' of related pages, associated with problems that I haven't yet resolved. ISTR explaining this here only 28ΒΌ days ago. Cheers, David.
