hi,
I have version 3 on a Kubuntu box running 8 GUI terminals 3 of which are
virtually permanantly open with Firefox.
If the box is inadvertantly shut down (wife & new Vacuum cleaner ) the box
restarted and firefox came up with "do you want new sessions or restore old
sessions
URL bar and book marks are fine from day one
