Yep, thats why Galeon gives you the option to save your previous tabs
into a bookmark group, or to restore it before it starts loading crashed
tabs. This way if you have a site that is causing a crash you can edit
out that bookmark, then open that bookmark group in separate tabs and be
back to normal.
The sane way Galeon manages crashes is the reason why I don't use
Firefox. Yes it has a tab-browser extention that is supposed to do this,
but my last exploration into the exciting random world of extentions for
firefox showed me that this extention was highly inadequite comparably.
