I don’t believe we should auto load Firetext.

Maybe an idea for consideration, though, is remembering the windows opened during the previous session.

I understand the reasoning behind this, with Airborn OS being an "OS" and not just a wrapper around Firetext, after all. In fact, Firefox didn't always start at startup (see 1e8bde6. Also click "parent" one or two times for some interesting history of the list of apps). But, I think that most people will only use Airborn OS for Firefox, because there aren't very many other interesting apps you can use on it today. What do you think?

Yeah. Although sometimes when you had a lot of windows open you don't want this. Maybe we should do something like Firefox where it shows you a list of open windows and tabs and lets you select which ones you want again.

I've actually been thinking of a good use case for Airborn OS in the browser. I believe it would be useful for corporate situations as a sort of dashboard center. In this case, we want the users to be able to decide which (or no) apps to automatically load.

As for auto-loading previous windows, we could alert the user as Firefox does. However, as an "always-running" web-based system, I believe Airborn could also automatically preserve state and just feature a "refresh" feature which would wipe the slate. Do you like this idea?
