Firefox : Fail to Recover Recent tab Error

Its the first time i saw this thing but a good feature in Firefox.Recently i had a windows crash and after that  firefox had some problem recovering from those tabs.Till now browsers did not provide an alternate option but now it provides a page which has “Well this is Embarrassing” text and below 2 options are also provide.

  • Either open a new session
  • Try to recover from the last open tabs.You can restore particular tabs.

Well , you may be confident that Firefox provides you a backup of recent tabs in case of crash in the Recover Tabs .

New Mail Hyperlink feature in Firefox 3.5

It is very common that we have hyperlink that redirects to mailbox of
a person, on many a webpages.Say you have a website for Transport,the
admin must have given a hotlink that when clicked redirects to mail of
that person.Till now the default client for opening a webmail from the
browser was Outlook only.Using some external application like yattach
or gattach could have changed the things as well or changing setting
in Internet options.But for laymen it wasnt a very easy and
comfortable aspect.
With tha Firefox 3.5 the feature which has been embedded in the
browser is that whenever we click on mail hyperlink there pops a
window with options to choose the mail client for the operation
concerned.You can choose from Outlook,Gmail,Yahoomail or you can
choose some other application for mail operations.
Nice Feature i must say.

Firefox 4.0 redesign mockups released

Earlier last week, Mozilla updated the Firefox 3.7 wiki to show potential design changes for Firefox 3.7, and today, updated their wiki to show new mock ups for Firefox 4.0 Windows designs.

The designs are changed to fit better into Windows 7 - as they want to "embrace glass" which is a major goal of Mozilla for the next Firefox release, as well as making them feel more a part of the OS. The designs also work on Windows Vista. A separate design would be in place for lower versions of Windows.

The images below show the ideas that the Mozilla team has, for some potential tab layouts/UI redesigns. Remember that these mock ups are different than the 3.7 ones posted last week. Compare them on the Mozilla Wiki.
