Firebird losing its tabs

Posted on September 09, 2003 @ 14:02 in Software

I mentioned before that Firebird occasionally manages to lose all open tabs. It happens consistently in the two following instances, so be warned:

  1. If Firebird is launched by any other application (including e-mail companion Thunderbird), it will promptly forget it had any open tabs and launch with only the URL it was passed on by the other application. This does not happen when Firebird is already active; in that case a new tab is opened or the last tab is re-used, depending on your preferences.
  2. If you use Firebird in multiple browser mode, make sure that the last browser window you close is the one with all the tabs you want to keep for next time. Firebird only remembers the tabs of the last browser window you close. Occasionally I had the impression even this is not a fool proof method, but I haven't been able to actively reproduce it.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
