    Mozilla and Google say they are building Windows 8-enabled browsers, and Opera Software is looking into the possibility, too. Still, it may not be as easy as with previous Windows operating systems thanks to Microsoft's new "Metro" user interface. Link Removed

    Windows 7 Restart browsers where I left off

    When you reboot, you lose all the tabs in browsers that were left open. I find that I frequently would like to restart where I left off. It would be easier to close tabs I don't want to reopen before shutting down than trying to remember the tabs I want to reopen.
