As far as I know save only works when there is more than one tab open,
so I didn't see any reason to mention it.
Apparently no one has anything to offer on the subject? And it is
probably not a good feature to depend on anyway. So for a while I will
just leave a couple blank pages open and see if I can detect a correlation.
I posted a few thoughts just over an hour after your original post. I
don't receive my own emails back via the list, but I can see that post
in the archive so assumed it had got through.
I don't use that feature much myself, so wasn't entirely certain about
how it worked, but have tried a few things out and it is pretty much as
I thought. I'm using 2.53.5.1, but recall the same behaviour in 2.49
and earlier versions.
If I exit via File > Close or the "x" in the corner of the window, only
the last window left open is restored with the session, since that was
the only window left open when SeaMonkey finally exited. If I exit via
File > Quit, all currently open windows are restored with the session.
Either works even if there is only one tab open in the session at the
point it's saved.
Preferences can be set to determine whether or not the session is
automatically restored on started. Go to Edit > Preferences > Browser.
Select "Browser Startup" alongside "Display on". Selecting the "Restore
Previous Session" option means the previous session is always restored
on startup. With other options selected, the session is not
automatically restored but you can still do it manually via Go > Restore
Previous Session (which is what I usually do on the occasions when I
want to get the previous session back).
No matter how I exit, I don't get a prompt asking whether I want to
"Save and Close". That might be a difference between versions though,
as I do have vague recollections of seeing it before. Or it might be
provided by some extension you've installed, in which case it would be
worth trying with that extension disabled as it might be interfering
with SeaMonkey's built-in ability to do this.
Another possibility is that you mentioned in another thread ("32 bit vs
64 bit SeaMonkey") that you run multiple SeaMonkey versions using the
same profile. This is the kind of strange issue which could conceivably
be caused by doing that, if the format in which sessions are saved
changes between versions. Try with a fresh profile, which has never
been used with an older version after use with a newer version.
