> The browsing session is automatically restored in the event of a crash.

From all the apps I've used before that implement this behaviour, this is what I've learn: If your session crashes, and your app reloads the session, It'll just crash again. And again. And yet again.

I'm sure hope I'm wrong and they manage to get this right.

TabMix Plus on Firefox 1.5 does the right thing - it prompts you as to which saved session to open, and even tells you if that session crashed, so it's easy to open one that doesn't crash Firefox (although I've only rarely had that problem anyway).
