Hi,

I am used to SeaMonkey starting with a maximized window but since a few
days ago it starts with a smaller window. If I maximize it afterwards,
it still doesn't start maximized next time. Is there any setting that
controls this which I might have modified accidentally? This is on
Windows 10 if that matters.

I just realized that the user agent changed to Firefox/-1.0. Some
strange things seem to be happening here.

You probably turned on tracking protection resist fingerprinting in the prefs
for this one. Not sure if related.

Yes, explains it. I remember playing around with that one. Thanks for
the hint. However, to make SeaMonkey work again normally, I stripped
down prefs.js to just the mail, security and extensions settings. That
solved the window size problem. But now SeaMonkey asks me for my master
password at startup. Long ago I managed to make it ask for it only when
it actually needs it but I forgot which setting it was. Can you help out?

In user.js, I have the following (although I do not know if this is
still valid):

user_pref("signon.startup.prompt", false);
// don't ask for master password until it's used,
// bugs #560792 and #776268

NOTE: The // indicates a comment, to remind me why I have this.
Comments cannot be set in prefs.js

Consider:
* Most state mandate that drivers have liability insurance.
* Employers are mandated to have worker's compensation insurance.
* If you live in a flood zone, flood insurance is mandatory.
* If your home has a mortgage, fire insurance is mandatory.

Why then is mandatory health insurance so bad??

Ah, yes, fixed it. Thanks a lot!
Tt also needs mail.biff.on_new_window false so that it doesn't prompt
for the master password directly *after* startup.
