My computer ran out of battery and had to be rebooted. Seamonkey comes up ok and I am able to read newsgroups fine. But when I open the browser I am not able to get the restore to work. It opens a new window, but nothing shows up.

I found this was because a new tab had been opened in the initial browser window. Once that was closed the restore worked fine.

I don't have this issue with any of the other browsers I use. Is this expected? Often when I am recovering from a PC crash the SeaMonkey browser gets opened by clicking a link in a newsgroup. So it will happen from time to time that a tab will already be open when I try to do a restore. I guess I'll just have to remember to close that extra tab.

Without looking at a test profile, I'm forgetting how a default Seamonkey configuration handles that particular problem.

However, you might consider looking at the Session Manager extension. That one is impressive in how it allows you to track closed tabs, save and recall previous sessions, etc. One thing that's nice is that if I have a bunch of tabs open all at once, and I need to restart Seamonkey, then it's easy to relaunch all the tabs. Or save a particular set of tabs where they can be recalled simultaneously later -- if I'm researching a topic, where I have lots of open tabs that I may need to get to later, that's sometimes more effective than having save all that work, via bookmarks. And Session Manager also saves all the browsing histories of previous tabs.

I've also found that if Seamonkey crashes, then Session Manager makes it easy to recover all the tabs that were open when the crash happened.
