How to open multiple windows?

2015-03-25 Thread Jay O'Brien
I run three separate windows with Seamonkey displaying html videos from cameras 
on my LAN. After closing all the Seamonkey windows, running Seamonkey sometimes 
brings back two of the last open windows with their video components, 
positioned on my monitors exactly as they were before I closed them. Other 
times it just brings back one window with its video, if that was the last thing 
Seamonkey was used for on this computer.

As Seamonkey sometimes brings back two windows, I conclude that there is a way 
to tell Seamonkey to open several windows, with the locations of the windows 
and content of the windows predefined. 

Is there such a capability, and how do I use it so it works every time?

You possibly have Edit  Preferences  Browser  Display on: Browser 
Startup set to Restore Previous Session? I'm not certain, but that might 
be the default option, so you may not have specifically set it. I think 
that does reopen multiple windows if you had multiple windows open when 
you exited SeaMonkey.


With that set, if you have several windows open and go to File  Exit, I 
think SeaMonkey remembers all the windows open at that time, and 
restores them on next start. If you close windows one at a time, 
SeaMonkey exits when the last window is closed; since there was only one 
window open when SeaMonkey exited, only that one window is restored.

Mark, That's perfect, thank you. I had never paid attention to the exit 
command, and I certainly didn't know it would affect all open windows 
when accessed in one of the open windows. I'll shut Seamonkey down with 
the exit command in the future (or ctrl-Q). Much appreciated!
