  Do 2.57 builds try to update and use the same profile as 2.53 or do they create their own?

  Okay, MSN News is blank unless the useragent override for msn.com is Internet Explorer 11 on Windows 10. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

  Man, a lot of these overrides are for Microsoft sites.
• 04:05
  GrannyGoose
  what sites exactly are these
• 04:09
  GrannyGoose
  seems to work fine for me in 2.53.14
• 04:09
  GrannyGoose
  without overrides

  wonderful blackouts

  but even more weird: I got my sessionStore.json corrupted again?
• 15:18
  tomman
  like, if the browser doesn't close cleanly (say: the power went out, so I just hit the power button to shutdown stuff before batteries run out)
• 15:18
  tomman
  next boot, I find a totally blank new browser window with no memory of my last session
• 15:19
  tomman
  I'm looking at a ~600KiB sessionStore.bak, and an empty (~512b) sessionStore.json
• 15:20
  tomman
  1) Why it could be happening, and 2) is there a way to recover URLs from the corrupted one? (I try to open it on GTK-based editors like Pluma or mousepad and the thing freezes because it's a 600KB-oneliner)
• 15:21
  tomman
  oh, I can see the URLs, but a bunch of other encoded crap, and it's not easy to deal with ~600KiB oneliners on most editors
• 15:24
  tomman
  stackoverflow.com/questions/5243885…mmand-line-formatter-tool-for-linux MUCH better
• 15:24
  tomman
  (jq IS on Debian repos, so I'm good to go)
• 15:28
  tomman
  codebeautify.org/jsonviewer nice, it's entirely client-side (and of course, loading ~700KiB JSON is not healthy for performance here)
• 15:28
  tomman
  I see an empty windows[] array
• 15:29
  tomman
  and a closedWindows[] arrray with tab data for 3 windows
• 15:29
  tomman
  wait, I didn't have 32 tabs on a single window!
• 15:31
  tomman
  the other two closed windows seem to be popup windows, including one from my bank, and another spam one that I guess got blocked since I can't recall ever closing it
• 15:32
  tomman
  In any case, session data looks OK - so why SeaMonkey refuses to load it and instead pretends it never existed?
• 15:33
  tomman
  32 tabs, including tabs I had closed days ago (but I can't see any flag that tells me that such a tab was indeed closed?)

  tomman: I use sed to insert linefeeds into one-liners, usually after "}" in CSS files.
