After a crash Firefox, when restarted gives a page with the option of Restoring the session or Starting a new session. Sometimes in haste we might hit the “New Session” option and feel a bit stupid that all those open tabs are now gone…

Well there is a simple way to undo that. Simply point your browser to “about:sessionrestore” and you will get back to the page with the option of restoring your previous session again!

AdBlock for Opera 10

If you are like me and totally obsessed with Opera 10, but still a new user to the browser, then you might be wondering how to do a few things on it. One of my biggest problems was to get an Ad Block system up and running in the browser. A little web search gave me the way to do it.

Here are my notes:

  • Opera requires you to save a java script file that does the adblocking for it.  I found one here
  • Save the file into a folder of your choice.  I suggest creating a new folder as you will need to specify the folder not the file in future steps
  • Open Opera and hit “Alt – P”
  • In the corresponding dialog, click on the advanced tab
  • Click on “JavaScript Options…”
  • Hit “Choose” and navigate to the folder where you stored the file and hit “Ok”
  • You might need to refresh the pages for the adblock to take effect.
