Feature Request for Flock
One of my primary browsers is Flock. I’ve met a couple of people who were at the forefront of the browser development personally. In fact, after a get together in San Francisco, I gave two of them a ride back to hotels in the Valley.
Every once in a while, I load down Flock with a whole bunch of tabs, thanks to Flock’s nifty built-in RSS reader, which I think is a step above Sage, although not a huge one. When I do something similar in Firefox 2+, and the application bogs down or crashes, I’m greeted with a choice — I can start a fresh new session or “Restore Session”, after which Firefox will load all of the tabs from before the crash. This is enormously useful.
Flock lacks this functionality. A few minutes ago, with a couple of dozen tabs open, Flock crashed and came back up with the splash page. Five hours worth of browsing, reading, noting, and preparing to file — gone. Attempting to browse my history (not the search history) led me to the conclusion that it’s impossible. There’s no menu item for Browser History and Firefox’s CMD-Shift-H doesn’t work. This is a serious feature lack. What would it take for the Flock team to add this functionality? If it’s in Firefox, why isn’t it included with Flock?
