history and hotlist not saved; CSS site

Does Netsurf not save its hotlist and history till the user quits the
program?

Last night I was looking for tips on how to use CSS for something on
my website, came across a wonderful site and immediately added it to
my Netsurf hotlist. An hour later, some other application froze and
the computer had to be rebooted.

Today I wanted to return to that site about CSS, but there was no
record of it in my hotlist. Nor in my history. Tried all sorts of
searches via Google and Duckduck -- no luck. Bereft.

Is there any way to make Netsurf save history and hotlist during a
session? Or am I misunderstanding something?


As for the site I lost, maybe somebody else knows it and could point
me in the right direction.
- Exceptionally clean design. The bits of code within sentences were
presented with a grey background.
- Fine use of language, not cutesy or nerdy or commercial.
- It had a surprisingly nifty name, one syllable I think, almost in
the league of web.com or code.com -- so simple it made me wonder that
the writers found it still available.
- Further surprise when I got to a deeper page: it was a UK company,
despite the ".com" domain, located somewhere like Shoreditch or
Marylebone.

Stop press: Found it! It's html.com

Back to original Q about when Netsurf saves its hotlist.
