curse you, Firefox

A normal "save and exit" with no signs of things gone awry should not result in my saved tabs being gone on restart. Bah. I guess the lesson is to always bookmark all tabs first and clean it up later. What a stupid requirement.

I had several LJ entries open with intent to comment, but I don't know how I would reconstruct that state now. So I'm not ignoring you; I just don't know how to get that state back without doing a lot of digging, which I probably won't do.

Argh.

And then there's the obnoxious contribution LJ makes when Firefox does manage to restore your tabs -- all of the protected entries redirect to a "not logged in" page with no way to get back.

True and true again. Fie upon both!

Yeah, that too. That's such a pain! The only workaround -- and this doesn't always work -- seems to be to ignore all those pages asking for a login, use another tab to actually log in, and then refresh the original tabs. But if I forget and log in via one of those entry pages, it's gone unless I go find it by hand in the person's journal. Bad UI!

It didn't always do that; I think this changed about six months ago.
