Firefox Can Restore Your Session (Even if You Don't Want To)

The newly-released Mozilla Firefox 2 includes a Session Restore feature. This means that connections to some sites that log you in via cookies, like Gmail, will automatically be restored after a browser crash. You may not want that to happen if you share a computer. If so, you will need to turn off this feature via the browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash setting. If you are not familiar with changing your Mozilla settings, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config.
