![]() This is because of the intended use of tabs and stored sessions. If something goes wrong with even one line in the sessionstore, it can invalidate your session and the browser will blank (a portion of) it. If you use a "tab organization" add-on to manage a large number of tabs, this will add another layer of processing to every tab, compounding this resource use.Ī second side note: A very large sessionstore file, because of the way it is laid out, is not fault tolerant (unlike bookmarks that are stored in a database). Having a very large number of idle tabs open will degrade your browsing experience. You can use tabs this way if you want to, but Pale Moon does not have a rotating backup system in place for tabs, so it will be up to the user to make sessionstore backups.Ī side note: every tab opened uses memory and CPU, even if it is not "loaded". If you use tabs religiously and as permanent storage, you have to use a backup system for your session storing all the tabs just like Pale Moon itself already does for bookmarks. "you can make some of these changes permanent") but it needs a choice for loading Sessionstore, or it needs to discard the empty session that it creates when the user exits Safemode. I congratulate you on a better Safemode window (i.e. And an option to make the blank Sessionstore permanent should be there amongst the other "make this permanent" options.ĭo you understand what I mean? This is a PaleMoon-Specific "problem" - Firefox loads Sessionstore in Safemode (and saves it on exit). when you restart in normal mode, everything's back the way it was). There's a window that pops-up asking you if you want to make some of the changes permanent - to continue in Safemode implies it is temporary, it should not save the blank Sessionstore on exiting the browser, just like it doesn't disable all your AddOns and reset all your settings upon exiting (e.g. you disable all AddOns etc for only THAT Safemode session only. I understand this, but I don't think it should SAVE the empty Sessionstore when exiting Safemode. Opening them back up is then as easy as right-clicking the bookmark folder and selecting "open all in tabs" to restore your previously saved set of tabs. ![]() If you want session tabs stored permanently, I suggest the "bookmark all tabs" option and putting them in a bookmark folder. Tab, by their nature, are designed to be transitional (and therefore volatile). ![]() One additional remark: Using tabs as "permanent" or "semi-permanent" items isn't necessarily what they were designed for. Because it's just as likely that the sessions caused the problem, it will not save it when you use safe mode, by design. By design it won't load anything that might be a breaking item - and if you want to have the session, you need to manually load it with about:sessionrestore. If you actually opt for safe mode instead of using any of the other recovery options in the safe mode dialog, you're obviously trying to fix a serious issue. Meaning it won't load potentially problematic items that could have caused you to need safe mode to begin with - and that includes the previous session's tabs and windows. ![]() The session isn't loaded in safe mode because it's safe mode. ![]()
