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?
Do you see any difference running with the -no-remote option, at least
until the part the Profile Manager shows up?
No difference.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Command_line_arguments seems to indicate
that is intended for running multiple instances with different
profiles. I'll be running only a single instance.
I'm running under WinXP Pro SP3
