(Whiteboard: [has workaround] [Firefox-parity])

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070224 SeaMonkey/1.1.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070224 SeaMonkey/1.1.1 I usually have at least four pages open in tabs. Closing Seamonkey causes all pages to close (which is as expected) but when starting only the page that had focus when Seamonkey was closed is remembered. This contrasts with Firefox, which rmembers all open tabs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open several pages in the Seamonkey browser. 2. Close Seamonkey 3. Reopen Seamonkey Actual Results: Only the last page visited is reopened Expected Results: All pages open when the browser was closed should reopen.
Version: unspecified → SeaMonkey 1.1 Branch
Unlike Firefox, SeaMonkey hasn't got a "session saver" feature yet. In the meantime, you can use the following (WORKAROUND): 1. (once and for all) Under Edit -> Preferences -> Browser, select whatever it takes to load the home page at startup. (It may vary between versions) 2. (before every shutdown) In the same page of the Preferences, set your "Home Tab" to "Use Current Group". 3. Close SeaMonkey. 4. Reopen SeaMonkey. Result: All tabs reopen with their previous contents. -------------------- Summary and Severity changed to reflect the need for a session saver feature in SeaMonkey.

Such feature work does not block a release. It may be a nice addition, but it's not keeping us from releasing anything, esp. not a testing version, i.e. an alpha.
