Review: Firefox 2.0 is a solid improvement (Linux.com)
Linux.com reviews Firefox 2.0. "What's extra-spiffy about the session restore is that Firefox can even remember user input in some text fields, so if you're composing a blog entry and the browser crashes, or you just forget about that 600-word entry and restart Firefox after installing a new extension, Firefox may be able to restore your text as well as the browsing history."

Session Restore Posted Oct 25, 2006 19:51 UTC (Wed) by tjc (subscriber, #137) [Link] The session restore feature sounds nice, but I'd prefer a browser that didn't crash on invalid input in the first place.

Review: Firefox 2.0 is a solid improvement (Linux.com) Posted Oct 26, 2006 0:42 UTC (Thu) by N0NB (guest, #3407) [Link] 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.
