For the last year or so, at times when I have had access to my computer, my browser of choice has been Mozilla. The way I have worked with it is to keep as many tabs open as I want, and to shut down the computer without quitting Mozilla. That way, when I start up the next day and click on Mozilla, it asks me whether I want to reconstruct the pervious day's session or to start a new one. So I start the old session back up and continue where I was. The dangerous thing about this is that the reopened windows do not show up on the new day's history, so when they are accidentally closed, the only way to open them is to find out on which day they were opened for the first time (in my case, most of the windows are opened over the course of several days and stay in my current session until I have had enough of them). . . . Isn't there a better way to reconstruct a lost session than to read through your entire history?

(Since this is the second time in recent weeks that this has happened to me, I began by actually digging through my entire history, and extending the number of days my computer keeps visited sites in the history. Then I began from the end (from both sides actually), opening each window in the history in a tab, and then deleting its latest appearance in my history. (Some had been opened only once.) I also began a practice of deleting each current day's history by the end of the day (the "old windows" never show up on it anyway), so that my history would not get too long.

Yesterday I closed an entire window with eight or nine open tabs by accident, and I feel like I have no way to reconstruct it, since the tabs had been open through the method described above: Open the window, then delete it from the history; delete current day's history. The best help I could find on Mozilla is how to reconstruct closed tabs while the window that had the tabs on it is still open (Help-recently closed tabs...) Is there no way to reconstruct after the window has been accidentally closed?

Thanks,
