I'm building Kubuntu machines to replace my, and my wife's workstations.
The old machines have an older version of Debian with Gnome 1.4. We are
using Galeon 1.x as our browsers.

Looks like the choice today is Firefox. So, I'm trying to figure out how to
provide 3 functions provided by the older Galeon, that I can't seem to find
workalikes in Firefox.

a) Control O brings up an URL input window (empty) in the center of the
browser. We find this much more convenient that dealing with the URL input
bar at the top of the browser.

b) Sessions an be saved and restored (easily from the FILE menu). Sessions
are collections of sites opened in multiple tabs.

c) Adjustments to font size (plus and minus) are stored on a per page
basis. Thus I can have (for example) Slashdot displayed with the font size
bumped up a couple of points, and when I return to it, it will default to
the larger size.

Can anyone suggest workarounds for these in Firefox?
