Aha! That is exactly what I have been seeking. Some Web sites that I visit require that I change my preferences from what I usually have. I use PrefBar for that. Sometimes the changes are so extensive, however, that it is easier to terminate SeaMonkey and then relaunch it. If I was in a profile that is not my default, that also means switching back to the profile I was using. If this restarts me back in my non-default profile, the Restart Application button will be great. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> President Trump removed Rick Bright from heading the government's development of a vaccine against the COVID-19 virus. The reason was that Bright would not endorse Trump's assertion that hydroxychloroquine might cure COVID-19. Is it possible that Trump was motivated by his and his family's investments in a major producer of hydroxychloroquine? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
