Yes, I installed it. It is indeed better than me manually terminating and then relaunching SeaMonkey. However, at least one change I do via PrefBar does not get reset when I use the button. That is spoofing another browser via PrefBar's "useragent", which uses scripts instead of preference variables. There might be other PrefBar script-based actions that are not reset. -- 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
