I always have had SM set to "Restore Previous Session" at startup. A few
times recently it completely lost the previous session information for
some reason. Beginning today, SM starts with the same number of tabs as
the previous session contained, but they are all marked "Untitled".
Reloading tabs just loads blank ones again.
It is not my antivirus or firewall (Norton) causing this. I disabled it
with the same result. Once SM is started tabs open normally from links,
bookmarks, etc. Also, if I click on "Home" my home group of pages as set
under "Preferences" opens.
If I set SM to open with my chosen home group and close and reopen it,
it starts with the chosen group, but if I click to "Save the previous
session" when closing SM, it will again restart with blank (Untitled)
tabs.
I tried restarting my computer but it made no difference. I also tried
reinstalling SM, but it also made no difference.
Thanks for any assistance.
Another possibility:
Could you be clearing your history on close? I'm not sure if "restore
previous session" relies on that, but if it does, it might have no data
to work with after you clear history.
Two places to look:
Edit | Preferences | Browser | History
Is "Remember visited pages" checked? If not, RPS might have no data to
work with.
Edit | Preferences | Privacy & Security | Private Data
Is "Always clear my private data when I close SeaMonkey" checked? If
not, no problem, but if so, is "Browsing History" checked as one of the
things that should be cleared?
All this relies on the unverified assumption that RPS relies on the
browser history for URLs. If it doesn't, none of this will matter.
No, history is being saved and private data is not being cleared.
