Is this nifty feature going to be part of Seamonkey as well?

Some users might find Reset useful. However, it removes all extensions.
I have 18 extensions installed in SeaMonkey. I rely upon almost all of
them at least once a day if not more often. Reinstalling them would be
a bother.
Furthermore, removing AdBlock Plus would remove all the custom filters
that I setup over a period of three years. Removing PrefBar would
remove custom buttons that I created over a period of four years. I
really would not appreciate having to redo all that.
Thus, I would likely never use Reset.
One nice feature in Opera is that it has a user selection to reset
about:config to default(s) without touching anything else...*that* would
be a nice feature to have in SM.
Exit seamonkey, remove prefs.js from your profile, and start it again.
Very severe "solution". All customizations lost, accounts lost, etc.
That was what he wanted! Reset about:config to defaults.
you would be better to advocate creating a new profile and re-creating
mail and news account anew.
That is a horribly drastic "solution."
It is drastic what he wants to accomplish.
I agree he probably did not realize that mail accounts are part of
about:config customization, and that they are lost when reset to
defaults.
It is possible to write a small program that removes everything from
prefs.js except the mail.account mail.identity and mail.server
entries, and it will then reset everything to default but keep the
accounts.
No, I realize that. But I'd likely end up in the same situation if I
had to wipe out my Profile and reinstall to get back to defaults, or to
undo something horrible I'd done in about:config.
Besides, it doesn't seem to have the drastic effect that you describe
when I've used the option in Opera. My Pref settings remain, but I get
back to something I can use to start over without totally destroying my
install.
