A big Thank You to all the FireFox Developers over the years! This afternoon my laptop crashed and eventually ended with the Blue Screen Of Death and the Crash Recovery screens.

Upon restart FireFox dutifully restarted all Windows and Tabs with the proper web pages and placements. All I had to do was start FF and it reconstructed my previous sessions without incident. It was a joy to behold and what a proper application should do.

Not just Windows.

https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/crash.8.html

Why would Linux have this command for crash analysis if Linux never
crashed?

The default with Firefox is to enable session restore. Alas, if a site
causes Firefox to crash, restoring the prior session has Firefox crash
again. Then you have to figure out how to start Firefox in safe mode,
or get rid of the old session data before starting Firefox. While
Firefox has session restore, you could get stuck in an endless crash
loop.

Oh, you found an ancient linux tool, which no ordinary Linux end user
would ever consider to install and use. Congrats!
You reached your main goal again: blabbing about nothing worth in this
context.

Yes. Nice design. Sending a program into endless loops after a crash
as default. I consider this as a failure.
Session restore is a feature for clumsy users with deficient operating
systems.

Perhaps an ancient tool for an OS that never crashes, huh? What is used
now that ordinary Linux end users use? Oh, that would still be
admitting that Linux crashes, too.

So, you were NOT extolling Firefox's session restore feature?

I'm pretty sure that the only 'crashes' I've had were due to some part
of facebook grabbing ALL the CPU and not allowing keyboard or mouse
input or anything else and running up the temperature -- and the only
solution is to shut off the machine. Curiously enough, the restart is perfectly normal. There have been hardware glitches, of course, but I
bought the components from Fry's...

I think there was an article several months ago that MS was removing the Screen of Death. I don't remember the details. Possibly they will
change the color to green.

I never used any "session restore" because i don't need it.
It's superfluous for me.

LOL! Yes! They don't work on the causes, but are painting it black, because
it is rCLstreamlining the unexpected restart experience.rCY
BSOD stays BOSD. Now in a fresh new black. ;-D

Well... yeah, its better than cutting the power on an error.

Also, its technically the Black Screen of Death now.

I'm grateful for that feature (FF restoring windows and tabs) too.

Well, Black Screen of Death still has the same initials. That is both
good and bad. Good because I don't have to change my writing style, and
bad because historians looking back at Usenet posts and other historical material won't know which one is being written about.

In some cultures, black is more fitting for death. Maybe that's why
they are changing.
