Setting Default Profile

[David E. Ross]

Windows 7
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.49.5

I have four SeaMonkey profiles: a preferred profile and three
special-purpose profiles.  I generally launch SeaMonkey in my preferred
profile by selecting a shortcut that uses the command-line option -p
followed by the name of the profile.

If I use the profile manager to switch profiles, the selected profile is
flagged as the default.  If I terminate SeaMonkey while in one of my
special-purpose profiles, that profile is thus flagged as my default.
When I later use my shortcut to launch SeaMonkey, I do get my preferred
profile.  However, the profile I was using when I last terminated
SeaMonkey remains the default.

I have a script that terminates SeaMonkey and immediately relaunches it
in the same profile.  This is in place of the Restart Application Button
extension, which fails to reset everything back to my default state.  My
 script causes SeaMonkey to relaunch in the default profile.  That is
okay except when I earlier terminated SeaMonkey while in a
special-purpose profile and then use my script while in my preferred
profile; in that case, SeaMonkey launches in the wrong profile.

Is there a command-line option that I can add to my shortcut that I use
to launch SeaMonkey that forces my preferred profile to be the default?

A prayer for the days leading towards the Jewish holy days.

For those who hate, Let there be no hope,
And may all derision and disdain perish in an instant.
May intolerance be swiftly cut down.
May You quickly uproot, crush, cast down, and humble the arrogant,
Speedily in our days.
Blessed are You, Adonai, Who destroys enemies and humbles the arrogant.

Heed this, President Trump!

I tried this again - same results.  Then I disabled Java Script.  Tried again

Anyone else experience this with FaceBook?  Sending SM into a loop?  SeaMonkey
or FaceBook or (heaven forbid) my problem?--

Re: Is SeaMonkey using too much RAM

However, since the time I upgraded to Seamonkey 2.53.2, I'm finding it 
relatively rare that I see these issues. Although I haven't seen 
anything in release notes indicating fixes related to possible memory 
leaks, but things are much cleaner now.


Do you use LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Maps, Gmail, Twitter, YouTube, 
etc.? Those definitely hog a lot of resources on my PCs. :(


No on several, infrequently on others.  I use NoScript fairly 
aggressively, and tend to enable only when it's necessary to get to 
things I want, and also frequently (but not always) disable scripting 
when I'm done.


Yes, I know that there's a lot of web site scripting, and if I've left a 
browser open overnight, some of the high CPU and memory usage comes from 
that kind of scripting that I may have left enabled.  However, even if I 
tell NoScript to revoke all temporary permissions grants, I don't see 
any evidence of lowered demands on processor or memory, even after 
running a full memory cleanup in about:memory.


I mentioned previously that examination of the detail in about:memory 
shows the highest memory usage coming from Mail and News, where I do 
make use of message filters.  Sometimes I do see evidence of scripting 
from script-heavy web pages, but not nearly as much as I would expect.


Logically, I agree that the script-heavy sites should show the highest 
resource demand, but that's not what I'm seeing in my monitoring, and I 
do find that a bit puzzling.


However, as also noted, I'm seeing far less performance issues since I 
moved to 2.53.2.
