I have been using icecat since its inception, and recently set up icecat-17.0.1. I was pleasantly surprised that, after downloading and unpacking it, it would start as simply as './icecat' .. with the usual './configure', 'make', and 'make install'.
I proceeded to selectively install a few extensions and themes, but then found that it crashed, and now './icecat' either does not start, or gives me the msg "GNU IceCat closed unexpectedly while starting. This might be caused by add-ons or other problems. You can try to resolve the problem by resetting GNU IceCat to its default state or troubleshooting in Safe Mode." When I hit the button "Start in Safe Mode" it comes up with a 'Restore Session' screen with the msg that "You can try * Starting an entirely new browsing session". Pressing "Start Session" gives me 'Add-ons Manager' with the msg "All add-ons have been disabled by safe mode'. I have managed to get past that. Can anyone advise how I could start an entirely new browsing session, or exit 'safe mode' ?
