Re: XP & malware

Got it. Thanks! It should have been obvious, but I never looked at the
Firefox start-up options. When I saw the default choice about starting
with home page, I didn't think there were other options worth bothering
with. I think though that my general point is valid.:new & improved
versions of much software can be harder to use. I know how to use older
versions of MS Word, but with Windows 7, where to find the familiar
things that need to be done is often a mystery to me. I always liked
Word Perfect better anyway, but I haven't used that for more years than
I can remember. I used XyWrite back in the '80s, and still have hundreds
of documents formatted with it, many of which remain useful.

Not sure about current details of their free service: they may
have sent you a separate email notification. It's an 80 kb. .PNG
file, which should be viewable by most any graphics viewer app
that can display JPEGs and other common formats. I've sent this
from a secondary email account (begins "Heuch____" etc.) that I
use mainly for email with online, commercial firms.

Once again, I get no such option from
Firefox. It closes everything
without giving me a choice to save tabs. I'm using the
latest Firefox
on my old laptop with XP.

apps, this could be an alpha or beta for an upcoming

Windows from Last Session"

works fine to set this on my non-nightly portable

edition.

I've just made this change, which is more to my liking,

rather than

having to manually click on "Restore Previous Session"

each time I

boot up FireFox.
