Link not working......

Just tested link - it works fine, try again. DNS finds ip address = 72.36.213.138 for cybercapital.org, so if your DNS is down, substitute the ip address for it along with the rest of the link following the ip address name.

Firefox keyboard shortcut to retrieve closed tabs here.

Caveat: May only work on FF 2.0 or later? I am using FF 1.5.0..3 on Ubuntu LiveCD 6.0.6 and it does not work, so I haven't been able to use it, but that should not prevent you from trying it to see if it works on your later FF version.

That command is for a MAC OSX. To use it on a PC (with XP), try CTRL-SHIFT-T and it will bring back the last tab you closed. Multiple CTRL-SHIFT-T's will bring back the next oldest tab you closed.

Not sure if it works with FF 1.5x or Linux.

Awesome! I knew about the "config.trim_on_minimize" option, but I learned that all this info is stored in the prefs.js text file (similar to Netscape back in the day...)

Now I can edit everything with notepad!
