FreshStart 1.6 is released!

FreshStart Crash Recovery allows you to auto-save current sessions periodically. Unlike the normal FreshStart sessions, these auto-saved sessions are not stored as bookmarks.

In this update, the Crash Recovery function is greatly enhanced. In addition to the your last Chrome session, five more snapshots of your sessions are saved. These five snapshots are taken during your last five Chrome launches. They can serve as an extra backup when Chrome auto session restore fails.

Enable "Crash Recovery" in FreshStart Options and adjust the backup frequency if necessary.

Usually if Chrome crashed there should be a yellow "Restore" button that allows you to restore to your previous session. In the case when it fails, please open FreshStart popup and click the "Crash Recovery" button. (Note FreshStart "Crash Recovery" must be enabled already)

This will open the Restore Page that contains all your auto-saved sessions. Click on a snapshot link to see the content of the session. The session now includes time-stamps and the pinned state are saved. (Only for auto-save sessions)

Enjoy!

Another new function is "Send tab/link to Startpage", you may now use the context menu to add links to the startpage's "My Bookmarks" tab which is bookmarks bar folder (default) or any other folder you have chosen to show in the startpage.

Note: If you experience any problem after the updates, please try to restart Chrome and reload the start page. 

After you have updated to version 1.5, when you click the "Most Visited" tab for the first time, you will see the following popup.

Please click "Allow" and the startpage will reload and show the list of most visited sites. This version also asked for access to favicons (icons of web sites), this would solve the issue on unmatched favicons in older versions.
