Good point.

Yeah, that would be the ideal; although the dialog box alone is
close enough for my purposes that I don't overly mind lost state
beyond that.

There's the SessionSaver extension, but at least on my system it
degrades Firefox performance from acceptable-if-sometimes-barely
to just-shy-of-completely-unusable.

Opera offers this out of the box without performance penalties,
but damned if I can find any skins for it other than ones that
only a Vogon mother could love.
