Saving Tabs in Explorer 8.0

Question

Hi guys.

There is a very nice feature in Mozilla Firefox. It saves all open tabs when you exit the application. Then with your consent restores all previous tabs when you open the application again.

Unfortunately, I have not seen anywhere in IE where I can save my tabs and restore them(all open) when I re-open IE. It only restores the tabs if it closed unexpectedly or crushed. I can only restore last open tab(1) and not previously opened tabs.

I take it, since IE can save tabs when it crushes, there should be a way for me to save the tabs and re-open all of them when I get back into IE.
But how do I get that feature.

I need your assistance guys. And thank you in advance

Try with Tools -> Reopen Last Browsing Session. :)

But be prepared for some problems[^] with this functionality! :)

It does not hold multiple tabs, merely the last opened.

Yes, that's why I posted "some problems" link.

The interesting thing is that in can work in some cases, but in other (for example when a pop up window is displayed) it doesn't work "as expected" at all. That's why I personally prefer FF. :)

In your original post you didn't mention that you've tried using "Reopen Last Browsing Session".

BTW: The problem with this feature is that it isn't reliable. If you had a pop-up window come up during your web browsing session, now that window becomes the new session. Restoring such tabs will result in a single window with a single tab showing only the contents of that pop up window. I've provided a link (see the link from my answer) explaining exactly the same problem. And yes, there a some workarounds but personally for me the best workaround is using FF (if possible of course). :)

NOTE: Please, next time when you intend to post a comment to specific answer, use "Add comment" link on the right-bottom edge of the answer. This way the author of the answer can receive notification messages and the QA thread will not be "polluted" with "fake" answers. :)

Best Regards,
