Here’s a nifty trick when you’re in a hurry and need to close Firefox and/or shut down your computer but have several windows opened with plenny of tabs in each windows you don’t wanna lose. Usually, there would only be a few ways to save your browsing session:
Friggin too long methods
1. The PITA method: you manually bookmark each individual pages of each windows in your Bookmarks in folders. Have fun with that.
2. The monk method: You manually move/transfer all tabs one by one in a single windows, then exit, which will save the session and re-open all the tabs the next time you launch Firefox. Have fun with that too.
3. The pro method: you install a session manager add-on, then save the session and windows. You’re awesome.
Now, even I who DO use a session manager in Firefox, there’s often times I need to close Firefox quickly AND keep all my browsing sessions. The aforementioned methods just don’t cut it.
KISS method
Here’s my ultra-fast-lazy-simple method: kill Firefox from the Task Manager:
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del > Click End task
There ya go. Let it handle the crash. Firefox is so awesome it’ll prompt you to “restore” your “lost” session. I do it all the time. :D
Enjoy!
