Just had my first BSOD with Win7 and lost about 60 open Opera and Firefox windows.  The Firefox windows recovered but that browser takes up waaaaaaaay too much memory.  The Opera windows did not recover; the "reopen closed tabs" is greyed out and I now have about four months of history pages to go through.  

So my question is: what browser recovers windows and tabs after a crash and doesn't suck RAM like Firefox, and, failing that, is there a way to make Opera better at recovering?

Op, reboot your browser every now and then, thats what bookmarks and speed dial in Opera is for. I am a power user from heck, but even i close my browser a few times a day to clear the cache and let my system breath. They are not designed to stay open with 60 tabs day in and day out.

Wait for FF7. At least they've finally acknowledged that their product is a memory-sucking leech of an app.
