So i decided to keep a running tab now for when something happens on my desktop that gives either my browswer based applications, or my desktop applications a leg up on the other.
A few minutes ago, I accidently, kicked out my power cord to my desktop. After my pc booted back up, I opened up both Firefox and Google Chrome, which I had opened before my little mishap. They both allowed me to restore all of the pages I had up. I had been working on a pretty robust spreadsheet in Google Docs, so I’m glad I didn’t lose a thing. I had Excel and Word opened, but it looks like it saved an older version, vs. the newer versions I had been working on.
Point for the browsers! I was able to get back to work, without spending too much time starting my desktop applications. The browsers new what I had opened, restored them, and I got back to work. The desktop just doesn’t allow that.
