Re: Restore Previous Session Not Working

The box did list the 2 windows I had last used with all the tabs I had left open, but selecting those windows and clicking Restore just opened a blank window. The Go menu had the Recent Windows and Tabs options ghosted, but the history section did list all the recently used tabs. The Restore function and Go menu have worked properly previously. There's a known bug, fixed in the next version, in which the "Restore Previous Session" function behaves as you describe, if you open another tab or window before invoking it. For instance, this might happen if you launched the SM browser component by following a link from email or a separate application. The work-around is to close all tabs and windows other than the "about:sessionrestore" tab, and, if the button has become disabled. refresh that tab. /df -- London UK ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I once had a similar problem. It was solved by the addon session manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/session-manager Since then I have no such problems, so I think I can recommend this solution... -- Petr Voralek(JabberID: na...@jabber.cz) signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I found this was because a new tab had been opened in the initial browser window. Once that was closed the restore worked fine. I don't have this issue with any of the other browsers I use. Is this expected? Often when I am recovering from a PC crash the SeaMonkey browser gets opened by clicking a link in a newsgroup. So it will happen from time to time that a tab will already be open when I try to do a restore. I guess I'll just have to remember to close that extra tab. I've also found problem using the session restore if I open a new tab/page (from Mail & News, as that's what opens first in my configuration) before I get to restore the crashed session. I have to find time filling a bug about it. Just another piece of info, I had closed the browser and saved context when prompted. This time I clicked a link in a newsgroup post which opened the browser and that link was the first tab while all the previously open tabs also opened. Go figure. I'm not sure how to reproduce the original problem. -- Rick C ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Without looking at a test profile, I'm forgetting how a default Seamonkey configuration handles that particular problem. However, you might consider looking at the Session Manager extension. That one is impressive in how it allows you to track closed tabs, save and recall previous sessions, etc. One thing that's nice is that if I have a bunch of tabs open all at once, and I need to restart Seamonkey, then it's easy to relaunch all the tabs. Or save a particular set of tabs where they can be recalled simultaneously later -- if I'm researching a topic, where I have lots of open tabs that I may need to get to later, that's sometimes more effective than having save all that work, via bookmarks. And Session Manager also saves all the browsing histories of previous tabs. I've also found that if Seamonkey crashes, then Session Manager makes it easy to recover all the tabs that were open when the crash happened.
