I'm running 2.0rc3 but I can't seem to figure out how to reopen closedtabs... and the "Show windows and tabs from last time" is there but
doesn't work.
Hmmm... maybe it is the build I have.

History -> Recently Closed Tabs; should be the second from bottom (above Show in Sidebar)

History -> Recently Closed Tabs > is grayed out for some reason eventhough I have opened up a number of tabs and closed them.
Right-clicking on the tab bar (on a tab or on the unused area of the tab
bar) also has nothing related to Recently Closed Tabs... nor does that key
combo do anything for me.
This is after installing Firefox 2.0 from the .tar.gz release on the
Firefox website... as well as in the previously mentioned 2.0RC3 package I
had.
Weird.
Sorry, I know this isn't the Firefox support forum. :)

I think that greyed out item will be enabled when you actualy close a tab.

Ctrl+Maj+T, or right-click the tab bar.

strings /dev/mem > /tmp/dumpless /tmp/dump
and then use the search function to find the just lost text usually works for me. ;-)

That was cool. I used Linux for 10 years and never thought about that. Thank you.
Session Restore

The session restore feature sounds nice, but I'd prefer a browser that didn't crash on invalid input in the first place.

Maybe you would prefer a browser that remains in memory is the X server crashes or is killed by Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? I don't think so. Sometimes terminating the process is the right thing to do.

I was think more along the lines of Firefox crashing on badly formed input, as it is wont to do at times.

Have any problems been noted from running FF 2.0 with an older profile? I know the notes for the RC version I tried advised not to do this. In previous versions this has been cited as a source for strange bugs/behavior.

I installed FF 2.0 yesterday and it had no problem using my old profile.
