OK, that's weird -- how does a Windows update reboot a Mac machine? You running Parallels or something? ...heh...no, I tried the Mac analogs of all of the forgoing suggestions for the Win observation - coincidentally there have been a few OS X updates in the past few days as well. The analog of the Win Control Panel setting is contained within Safari, and a reboot is a reboot no matter who's OS you're using... But this behavior has persisted throughout - both as the OP observes in the Win version and as I've observed in the Mac OS version, under Mac OS. So it appears systemic to SM in both versions, but I submitted a bug based on my Mac observations. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
