Firefox 3.5 gets restore closed window feature
If you accidentally close a window you can restore it by hitting Ctrl+Shift+N, as long as it wasn't the only Firefox window open. All of the tabs that were open when you closed the window should be restored. If you closed two or more windows you can find them by navigating to the Recently Closed Windows option in the History drop-down box.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

I've honestly been pretty disappointed with the way firefox development has been headed.
When the browser started out, it was lightning fast, and though it came with fewer options, there were more than plenty extensions to add options just like the one mentioned above.
Now, everything feature under the sun seems to be making its way back into firefox. I've switched to chrome lately simply because it opens faster, runs faster and doesn't have nearly as big of an issue with gobbling up memory after being open for awhile.
Soon, will they reintegrate Thunderbird and Firefox? Maybe a few years afterwards they'll split them and start over again. :)

This is actually a welcome addition for me, 'cause I've lost more than a couple of windows at work by closing the browser window expecting the app to quit, only to be foiled by the add-on window or the download manager, losing all of my tabs in the process (tangentially, one thing I definitely like about the Mac version of Firefox is the ability to quit the app and restore multiple windows worth of tabs without having to use the task manager... it's not enough to get me to use it on the Mac, but it's still nice).

This does me no good. I occasionally close my window on accident (hitting CMD+Q instead of CMD+W isn't that difficult of a mistake to make...) but I rarely have more than one window open and from what I understand from your post, you need multiple windows open for this to work. So it's useless for me.

Why would anyone open more than one window of Firefox (or at this point any browser for that matter)? That's what tabs are for.
