Even if you're just viewing static HTML pages, a browser session is not *itself* a static thing: it is the unique result of a long chain of user interactions. If you close a text editor, all you lose is a single file, which is very easy to re-open. If you close a browser, you lose not only the open pages, but also their history, and for dynamic pages, the interactions and form posts that generated them -- in short, the pages' context. And that's much more difficult to recover, even in the most sophisticated modern browsers.
Add the scrolling position to this list, which applies to both, long text files and long HTML pages :) -- -- Rogut?s Sparnuotos
