Will the browser remember where i left off, just like on pc?
 

I was wondering, couldn't find this anywhere... On the desktop I usually have Firefox open and i have about 40 tabs active, which i use the whole day. When i close Firefox, it asks me wheter it should "save" the tabs, so when I launch it next time, all the previously active tabs/pages load and i can continue exactly where i left off last time.

Does this feature exist either in MicroB or Fennec/Firefox on the N900?

I think many people would appreciate it...
And on a side-note, can someone show us a video of Fennec in portrait mode please?

Thanks!

Is stll microb on the N900, not Fennec.

It doesn't restore state, which IMO is a good thing on such a device. You don't want battery being sucked to load pages that your not even still interested in.

I dont see why battery will be wasted if I am not interested in loading the page and say cancel to the dialog which requests whetehr you want to load the old pages or not ?

Tear on N800/ N801 has this feature - and it asks in a dialof if you wanted to laod the last pages when the browser was closed or shyuut-down inadvertantly.

If you press cancel, it doesn't load anything at all.
I think it would be a good feature to have on the N900 browsers.

If it doesnt have this feature then ill cancel my order. This is a standard Firefox feature.

Tough crowd to please.

you can swipe back and open recent pages from your tabbed history

Well I don't know what happens when microb crashes, that hasn't happened to me yet.

Really if you want to keep some pages open just keep the browser page open. Tab restoration obviously doesn't make sense when they aren't tabs and you never really quit the browser (its always running to make it launch faster). The whole restoration system requires there being a close operation separate from the quit operation. Microb doesn't have quit, you just close and open windows

I'm pretty sure this is a feature you won't miss. Its a feature that makes sense on a *desktop* which you turn off once a day, not a *phone* which you never turn off. It makes sense if you open 40 tabs on your desktop... not on a phone where that would be very very ill-advised.

I'm thinking you'll need to use for the Fennec Browser, mozilla's "firefox" for internet tablets to put it simply, to use the feature the exact way you are looking for,
there may be a way to with the native browser but obviously I haven't played with it

People who are reliant on relatively trivial features like this should cancel their orders.

It's not so much that this feature won't be added -- it probably will. But if you are so particular that your current way of doing things remain exactly the same as it is now, the N900 is bound to upset you in one way or another. So don't get one, especially as you are 100% happy with the way you are currently doing things.
