With the SessionSaver extension, even if the Web browser ever crashes, all is
restored when it is invoked again. Same window positions, same tabs (yes,
all of them) and _even_ textarea get their input restored. The same
extension enables the user to specify a collection of sessions, so for
example, I have one which is called "Research", which transforms the browser
to include all the tabs that I need with the most convenient window size and
position. Once you try it, you will not be willing to live without it.
