3. The disk cache persists across restarts. That is a horrible

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
Uh, how are "profiles folder" and "profiles directory" different? In
all my years working with computers, "folder" and "directory" have
always been synonymous. Originally, "folder" was Macspeak and
"directory" was PCspeak, but that divide no longer holds.
At any rate, what exactly are you talking about deleting?
Of course folder and directory are the same, the point is that there are
two profiles folders, one under local that can be deleted, and one under
roaming that can not be deleted.
The complete profiles folder itself in local can be deleted, it will be
recreated when Seamonkey starts.
