3. The disk cache persists across restarts. That is a horrible
argument. If there is anything I hate, then it is taking junk from
a previous session to a new session. When I was still using Windows
98, I often had the Blue Screen of Death. The stability of the
system was greatly enhanced after I made a registry setting that
cleaned the page file during the shutdown procedure. It's the same
thing with Seamonkey. After Seamonkey crashed, I often deleted the
profiles folder in appdata > local > Mozilla > Seamonkey. It made
Seamonkey much more stable, since this folder also contains the
disk cache.
Does it help if you set SM to delete private data, including cache,
on termination? That sounds like what you want. I see no reason to
delete the entire profiles folder unless you're just running the
program for testing purposes or you have a serious problem that
normal trouble-shooting can't solve.
The profiles folder is recreated when Seamonkey is started again.
I'v never noticed any adverse effects after deleting the profiles
folder. Keep in mind that I deleted the folder after Seamonkey
crashed, so there is no proper termination.
I would expect deleting the profiles folder to delete all your user
data -- email folders and messages, login passwords, bookmarks, etc.
For me that would be a huge cost that would have to be justified by a
huge problem. It's cold comfort that the program runs with a blank
profile.
No, those files are in the profiles directory under appdata > *roaming*
> Mozilla > Seamonkey
