Re: Good browser kept under control (e.g. flash, status bar,...)?

Hi,

I've used firefox, but sometimes it really annoys me.

Ok, let's see why.

Occasionally websites pop up flash windows which I can't close while they
hide the webpage beneath.

Preferences>Tabbed Browsing

Force them to open in a new tab.

On the other hand it would be nice to save flash videos to the
hardrive.

If ^S isn't working, try ^I, go to the Media tab, then select and save
there.

Also when I hover over a link I want to see the link destination
irrespectively of what the website might suggest.

Preferences>Content

Either turn off JS or use the advanced settings to disallow ststus bar
changes.

Moreover, no windows should open without a menu bar making it difficult
to save the file (sometimes "print versions" of articles do that)

This one I don't know.

A last feature that's important is that it restores the webpages I
visited when it crashes.

Try SessionSaver.
