For example I've a window with all stats and stuff like that, one for each project, one for SM (Twitter, Pownce, Facebook, Sphinn, GoogleReader ...), and so on. Matt posted a neat extension (Copy All URLs 0.7.1) which stores all tabs of a window, so it's easy to restore closed windows you don't need daily.

By the way, my problem is not very common, it's somewhat caused by my usage of FF. SessionSaver forced FF to produce so many prefs-n.js files. However, it's certainly speeding up browsing when you manually hold down the amount of these files. Just rename the recent ones starting at prefs-1.js and delete the outdated versions before you start FF. Somehow my FF managed to create 389 new prefs files in the last three days ...

Maybe I'm just lucky :-). What I would love to do would be to open completely different instances of Firefox (as separate tasks and all of that). Anyone know a trick for that? At the moment I always use IE, Opera and FF in parallel to get close to that, but it's a pain to manage. For a brief time I even used VMWare to run Linux-versions in a window, but that's just slightly overkill, heh.

I'm up prefs-7.js and my history.dat file is 1 KB. I use Firefox Portable and have been for several months. I don't know if it's the portable that is making my version behave differently or if it's because I've moved to Firefox 2.0. Out of curiosity, why haven't you upgrade?
