that just sucks!!

as is, on the PC end.. both with linux and MS Windows
I have had issues with recovery from suspend and
hibernate :-(

very frustrating... thankfully mozilla keeps a
log of the sites it was on, and can restore
the previous URL list mozilla was on.
(tho you get any updated page on the new
load vs what you were actually looking at.)

thanks!
