we *might* be able to have a reasonable idea (and this
really isn't trivial - see Bill's message, but also
think of how we sometimes show the 'slow script'
dialog and point to the wrong code as being slow), I
think it's highly unlikely we'll ever be confident
enough to inadvertently uncheck the suspected tab
automatically, thus basically destroying user data
(including the back/forward history of that tab, form
data, cookies, scroll positions - everything) in case
we're wrong.<br>
<br>
Even if we tell the user this, that treeview is a pain
to use, and it's very likely that unchecked tabs will
be scrolled out of view in some cases. We know that
users don't read long descriptive text. So we
effectively show a page with a big highlighted button
to restore everything - and then we restore everything
except some of them, with no way for users to get
those items back. That sounds like a terrible
experience to me.<br>

<div>Could we perhaps instead of showing this page at all
replace the suspect tab(s) with a "we think this page
might've caused the last crash, <click here> if you
still want to restore it" page? Perhaps combined with a
notification bar indicating that not all tabs were
restored normally.<br>
