SeaMonkey 2.14.1
Sometimes, SeaMonkey crashes. Sometimes, it freezes and I have to use
the Windows Task Manager to force a termination. Often, the problem is
a Web page's bad use of JavaScript.
Usually, when I restart SeaMonkey, it's back at the same point -- the
same Web page and all the other tabs I might have opened -- where the
problem occurred. This means I have the same problem again.
Is there some way to restart SeaMonkey as if none of this happened, with
a single tab at my specified home page?
My inspiration wasn't crashes but (rare) web pages that refuse to let you go.
Killing
the browser in Task Manager and restarting would only take me straight back. I
came
up with 2 methods that might work in your case:
1) Change the setting for browser.sessionstore.interval in SM's about:config to
some
longer interval. Reference:
http://www.ghacks.net/2008/07/09/change-the-session-store-interval-in-firefox/
Resetting the interval to several minutes increases the chances that SM will
restore
tabs to before the crash, assuming that it uses the last session store (and
doesn't
create a new one immediately after a crash).
-OR-
2) After killing SM, start a command prompt and type "ipconfig /release" to
zero out
your ip numbers. Restart SM and kill the offending tab(s) or type or click on a
known
good address before typing "ipconfig /renew" at the prompt.
If SeaMonkey is not frozen, I am able to leave Web pages that refuse to
let me go by disabling JavaScript. With PrefBar installed, I have a
checkbox to do that.
Which didn't occur to me. Thank you.
