OK, great! Normally I don't like it to talk about all things together! There was a reason why I started with this point! And it would be much easier if we would have talked at the beginning _just_ about if it is possible / makes sense that FF is forgetting things by closing manually! And why "Yes." or "No." ... I think this settings can be set higher: browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_back: The maximum number of 'back button' session history entries to store in sessionstore.js. Default: 10 (-1 = no limit / 0 = only the currently active entry will be saved) Since: Firefox 30 browser.sessionstore.max_serialize_forward: The maximum number of 'forward button' session history entries to store in sessionstore.js. Default: -1 (-1 = no limit / 0 = only the currently active entry will be saved) Since: Firefox 30 browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo: The maximum number of closed tabs that get saved. Default: 10 Since: Firefox ?? browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo: The maximum number of closed windows that get saved. Default: 3 Since: Firefox ??

Fragmentation and write access are (even some people don't think so) are still a big problem! I'm using WD HD's and IMHO that are one of the bests ... In the last days I had to HD's that I have to send in for warranty to WD ... 1GB & 2GB ... both not to old, but both from filers with high I/O ... On my workstation I have a WD 2GB Green-Line ... sometimes the I/O go down to just 3MB/s and this is just because of fragmentation and get fixed after defrag ... It is still a big problem! > We haven't decided on > any journaled storage yet and we will be looking into multiple options, > writing our own storage or taking an existing one.
