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.
My point on that thread was, that there was a time when I could do that
with impunity because things were not changed "quietly" that caused an
issue.
Apologies, I must have misinterpreted your comments there. I thought
you were suggesting that it's still possible and that you do so. Yes,
it definitely did used to be much safer to switch back to older versions
than it is now.
Here is what I get from the X in the upper right corner, which has
always been the standard way to close any Windows "window".

Ah yes, that is what I vaguely recall seeing in the past. I might have
selected "Do not ask next time" at some point, or it might be that 2.53
now always saves the session so doesn't give the option anyway. In any
case, the behaviour to save the session and restore it next time works
as expected for me on 2.53.5.1.
I'd still say it's worth checking that the preference is set to restore
the previous session on startup (if you want that to happen
automatically). If it still doesn't work, or if even selecting Go >
Restore Previous Session won't restore the session, try with a clean
profile. That'll at least confirm that it *can* work on your version,
before spending a load of time trying to find something wrong with your
profile. If it works in a new profile but not your usual one, the first
thing I'd try is disabling all extensions and see if it starts working
then. Safe mode / Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled might disable
session restore anyway (I'm not certain), so that might not be much use
in this case, but you could perhaps temporarily disable all extensions
via the add-ons manager to see if that helps.
From your user-agent header it looks like you're still on 2.49.5.
Upgrading to 2.53 might also help with this, but I know there are issues
with support for some extensions that people use. Definitely back up
your profile before upgrading, and check that any extensions etc. that
you need still work before doing too much. If you need to roll back to
your current version, you'd also need to restore the profile from backup
- and lose any changes you've made since the backup (e.g. bookmarks
added, and any emails which aren't still stored on the server unless you
merge the newer email folders into the restored profile or store them
separately).
