I just opened a new 2.26.1 on a Win 8.1 and the places.sqlite-wal and places.sqlite-shm are not removed when SeaMonkey (2.26.1) is closed (File|Exit) Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20111221 Firefox/9.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.6.1 Did the same with a new 2.31 on Win 8.1 and it also left the files behind. User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 SeaMonkey/2.31 Note: both are new installs (same VM) with new, separate profiles as well. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
