Firefox error page

Now, this I like. An unexpected benefit of major computer issues recently – basically, my computer shutting down at the drop of a hat with no prior warning – is that I’ve inadvertantly come across this error page upon restarting Firefox after a crash. They’ve gone a step beyond simply restoring the windows and tabs that were previously open, and put together a message to display if that can’t actually be done. That’d be good in itself, but I love that ‘Well, this is embarrassing’ line: it helps me out when grappling with computer problems to come across a bit of software that doesn’t take itself too seriously, and doesn’t blame me for it not working as well as it could (cf. anything to do with Microsoft).
