In the process of doing clean install on new machine, I discover a strange (and to me DISTURBING) behavior of SeaMonkey 2.0.8 and 2.3.1 when launched with the "-P" option.

It twice attempts to access the internet before it launches (once before the Profile Manager widow is presented and once after desired profile has been chosen). This is independent of whether SeaMonkey was/will be in on/off line mode.

I discovered this as my firewall is also a new install and not yet trained as to which programs a allowed internet access.

I consider any program that autoMAGICaly connects to have a potential security flaw and a ACTUAL OPERATIONAL flaw - I have only dial up access and automatic "updates" every-time I go online is a nuisance.

Why is SeaMonkey attempting to connect?
How do I defeat it?

TIA
