Mozilla Firefox has a feature called Session Store which restore all the previously open tabs and windows when your browser restarts in case of a crash. The sessions store interval is the time interval at which Firefox saves the open windows and tabs to the session store.

Mozilla Firefox stores all your internet browsing history your local hard disk. If you use a shared computer and do not want anyone else to see what web sites you visited, then you can set Firefox to automatically clear the history every time you close the browser.

If you think a web page has small text or pictures in it, and you want to enlarge it, then you can zoom that web page. In Mozilla Firefox you have the options to zoom the complete page with the images or you can zoom only the text on a web page.

When you enter login credentials on a web site, Firefox prompts you to save the passwords so that next time you do not have to type it in. Next time you visit that web site, Firefox automatically fills in the user name and the password fields from the saved passwords database. But this can be a security problem, as anyone can login to your accounts.

When you visit a web site, Mozilla Firefox stores the web pages and embedded content like images etc. on your local hard disk. This local storage is called cache. The cache has a preset size. If cache is full, then the older content is removed to make space for the recently opened web sites. You can change the cache size in Firefox to whatever you like.

Opera stores the web pages and all its images etc. on your local hard disk. This local storage is called the cache. The cache has to be cleared at regular intervals for a faster browsing experience. If you want to automate the process, then you can choose to clear the cache on every browser exit.

Sometimes, when you click on an internet shortcut or double click on a local HTML file, Windows gives error

HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP protocol. If you open a web site which uses the HTTPS protocol, then all the data transfer between you and that site is encrypted. You can force Mozilla Firefox to use the HTTPS protocol wherever possible by using the HTTPS Everywhere add-on.
