So I was browsing the Web
then I suddenly remembered I had to do something with a file somewhere, which needed a file search,
so I threw my mouse to the top right corner of the screen and clicked the Spotlight icon
and...

...closed my Firefox window, losing all the open tabs, because I forgot I was in fact on my Windows laptop.

This is why I have a plug-in called "session saver" or "session manager"

It's the one reason I preferred Firefox over Safari, but since I found ForgetMeNot, I no longer use Firefox.

I think it'd be worth your while to check out some of the add-ons for Firefox, especially if you're like me and have 8+ tabs open at any given time.

Actually, I have Tab Mix Plus, which includes Session Manager.

However, I purposefully leave it turned off
and instead use Firefox's default session saver, which only saves the session in the event of a crash.

Usually, that's the only moment I would want to restore all my tabs.
99% of the time, when I want to close a window,
I am absolutely sure I don't need any of the tabs in that window.

...The remaining 1% would be the above case. XD
