Do you know how many people have visited sites then ran across a virus (especially through video) then either closed their browser or the virus closed it for them, then they re-opened the browser only to have it go right back to the vulnerable page. Before you think somehing is a feature, think again, this is a security flaw. yeah real genius, that way if you visited a site with a virus and it closed your session it will go right back to the virus page next time you load the browser.

I mistakenly pressed NO :(

I this case you can still go back to old sessions/tabs, just do following :)

cd ~
cd .mozilla/firefox/default.fox
mv sessionstore.js sessionstore.js.old
mv sessionstore.bak sessionstore.js
mv sessionstore.js.old sessionstore.bak
killall -9 firefox

Now restart firefox and press "yes restore " this time, whoverer thought of this .bak file is genius :)

Sites from these old sessions don't show up in the history.. so I can't find them again. If I do this, it will open all the tabs from this current session, and not the one before right?
