I didn't read the full article so I can't say if they left it out. However,
that setting looked like one of the advanced hidden settings that is mere
mortals after kept away from, so I just googled how to get at those
settings :)

Thanks Bryan.  Did they leave that step out or did I just miss it?  I've
switched to using Edge a lot.  Tried it, seemed to work well. My FF was
getting a little wonky. Don't like Chrome.  Looks inefficient to me. Has too
many processes open at once.

Do you know if there's a similar setting for Edge?

You need to type about:config in the browser bar, then search for the
browser.sessionstore.interval

body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a
great ride!"
