Hello,
First of all, thaks for this marvelous browser, that permits me to keep my old dear iMac G5 still useful!
The question is the one in the tread title, and is the only feature i'm actually missing from the "original" firefox: the possibility to save some CPU by closing the browser without having to manually restore the session when i take it back.

Thanks in advance for your time,
Cheers,
JR

   Yes, this is in TenFourFox. Go to Preferences, General and make sure "When TenFourFox starts" has "Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected. When the browser starts, only the frontmost tab is reloaded; when you go to individual tabs, they are restored automatically as you start using them.

   When I try this the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is greyed out and cannot be selected as is the "Restore previous session" in the History drop down menu. How do I overcome this please,

   In Preferences>Privacy – does the browser remember history at all? Does it "always use private browsing mode"? In these cases, no session restore is available.

   Thanks Chris hadn't thought of that. By the way I don't seem to be
   able to import bookmarks from Safari. Have followed
   the instructions, but if it is importing them I don't know where it's
   hiding them :)

   Thanks again,

   Rod

   Safari data import still doesn't work. Please use the HTML method for bookmarks, this works. Imported Safari bookmarks shop up in the Bookmarks Menu as "Bookmarks Bar" and "Bookmarks Menu".
