I have a habit of having way too many tabs open in my browser. I may have two or three browser windows open, but each one generally has a grunch of tabs that I’ve left open.
It’s not usually a problem except if I have or need a computer restart. Then, because, I guess, of how much I had opened, it takes a while before any of them reopen so that I can get back to whatever I was doing before.
A couple of days ago, communication between my mouse and Windows stopped. I knew it shouldn’t be the mouse or the batteries because it was only a couple weeks since I bought the mouse. The old CNTRL-ALT-DEL didn’t work so that left a hard restart—power down the the computer and then turn it back on.
I turned back on and everything came back. No problems…
But…
I still had three Firefox windows, each with lots of tabs…
But…
Everything was from November 2022!
All my windows and tab changes for the last 2 months were GONE.
Gone… GONE.
It’s not a terrible disaster, though. I’ve been working on rewriting the Wikipedia page for our local county with factual references and most of that is documented. Other stuff I’ve been working on is captured in reference link pages I’ve built.
Still, there were some tabs that I had left open because I wanted to come back to them for some reason or another.
Oh, well.
Still plenty of things to do.
