When re-starting a web browser, it is rather nice, in the event that something as un-nice as an unexpected termination (crash) has already occurred, to be presented the choice of starting fresh or picking up where you left off and reloading all the windows and tabs one had previously had open.

'Twould be even nicer to be given the option of reloading/restoring all previously open web pages except that one over there that I think was causing the problem that led to the crash in the first place. Admittedly, scrolling through as ginormous a list of open pages as I would usually face could get a little tedious, but watching the browser start up and hang in the same place o'er and o'er, or to have it crash each time I try to close the suspected page before it finishes loading, is somewhat more unpleasant.

(In this case, I'm using Firefox (well, "Iceweasel", since it's Debian), but this goes on my wishlist for Opera as well, doggone it.)

I both agree with your observation, and just laughed out loud in the middle of the office at "Iceweasel".

Indeed. Fortunately, I haven't hit such a problematic inst-crashing web page.. so I'm still pleased as punch by Firefox's Restore Previous Session functionality. (To which one could say no, of course, and it wouldn't crash, but then you'd lose all those windows.)

Have you tried changing your .hosts file? Point the suspected baddie to 127.0.0.1 .

Doh!

Not as convenient as what I'm asking for, but I f'ing should've thought of that.
