I'm not sure if the web pages are reopened from the cache because after restarting the pc and reopening Firefox, it looks like the pages are requested from the webserver again and not from the cache.

You can however do something similar by keeping the history of all visited pages and with every entry you store an indicator that represents the page currently opened or not. Set the indicator to closed when a user does this but otherwise leave those indicator values to opened and when your application is started you open all the pages from the history that have the indicator value opened.

Good luck!

My version on Firefox reloads them and does a request from the web and not the cache. It takes some time and I'm on a dsl line. But, aside of all this, check out the following link:
