I'm not sure what to call this problem, so I couldn't think of what to search for.
In the older version of Seamonkey, when I restarted the Browser after a crash, a small window would pop up giving me the option to either restart the previous Windows and Tabs, or to selectively restart them by unchecking unwanted Windows, or by starting a fresh instance of the browser with NO old Windows reopened.
The new Version does not do that.
The current version, just restarts all the old Window/Tabs, although in some cases it is one of those Windows/Tabs that caused the problem in the first place. I would like the option of a Selective Restart.
Is there a way to enable this feature?

Confirm what is selected under menu path Edit->Preferences->Browser->Display on->Browser Startup. You want to select "Restore previous Session" and then elaborate on that under the "When restoring sessions and windows" section of the dialogue box.

Enter about:config in the addressbar. Search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash and that should be 'True'.bluewizard wrote: The current version, just restarts all the old Window/Tabs, although in some cases it is one of those Windows/Tabs that caused the problem in the first place.

Now find browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes and I have that set to 1 (which is probably default) i.e. 1 crash and it restores the session as it was but 2 crashes will bring up the Restore Session? prompt.
It sounds like you should Modify that entry to 0, but that usually means infinity. Anyway, that's how that side works, so fiddle around with those settings.
