Not just the crash, and the failure to restore the previous session... the layout of the page was broken, not showing what windows and tabs were open.<br /> Clicking on "Restore" actually succeeded at restoring the session.<br /> And yes, Firefox (fully updated) seems to be crashing much more frequently these days.

I mentioned that it's not just books... that small mistakes can be found almost everywhere.</p> <p>Considering the large number of words in the typical book, it's no surprise that a few errors creep in and remain undetected until it reaches the reader's hands. On the other hand, some mistakes are rather extreme, and it is amazing that they go undetected and uncorrected until distribution. I once posted one <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/gustavog/2721188161/">particularly egregious example</a> of that...</p> <p>Here is another rather extreme example.
