Browser that doesn't reload remembered tabs?

Hi all,

My wife is having a problem and I can't seem to find people with a similar one through Google.

For work she has to access a few websites that allow internal searches (legal stuff). So she often has 6 or 7 tabs open with different search results that she uses as reference for her work. She's using Opera. Whenever the browser crashes or she has to close it and open it again, it'll remember her session and the exact sentences that were open previously, from cache. Now Opera Desktop is apparently abandoned (at least until Opera 14 which will be out God knows when), and compatibility with the specific website she's using is limited (wish I could tell you what the website is, but access is restricted).

When she uses Firefox, Chrome or IE and the same thing happens, they all restore the tabs that were previously open, but they all reload these pages from their URL. So the standard search page is loaded instead of the search result she had before.

Is there any setting, extention or even browser that'll behave like Opera did, loading previously loaded pages from cache instead of reloading them from online content?
 
Firefox has an add-in called "Session Manager." It does what (to my understanding) you explain she does with Opera; it will essentially take a snapshot of the FF instance/tabs before you close the browser, and you can restore these the next time you start FF (only manually though, IIRC--I haven't investigated any "automatic" settings for this option).

But not for the event of a browser crash--in the case of a browser crash, I don't believe Firefox has the ability to save tab contents and load tabs upon crash from a cache--it will always default to the URL (and load the page the next time it connects to the internet).

Not sure about Chrome or IE, but I'm betting there's a similar add-in/extension.
 
Thank you very much for your reply, mate.

That add-in does solve the situations where she has to close the browser for some reason, but unfortunately crashing is more common than it should be, so that's an issue.

Feels like there's a check box on either Firefox or Chrome that I could just tick and solve it... but I haven't found anything like it.

Thanks for your reply.
