As for the workaround mentioned above in blue, there are several possibilities to add it. All are simple and work, but which is 'best' for a certain user depends on his writing rights on the own machine (man, how things were so much easier back in the good old win98 times :P)
________________________________________
[b]Version-1 (most simple?):
Open browser, click Edit > Configuration > User Settings[/b]
Add this as last line and save:
[color=blue][code]user_pref("kmeleon.plugins.sessions.cleanShutdown", true);[/code][/color] Then lets hope you have writing rights at least in your profile folder. If not, open the folder ...programs.../K-Meleon, delete the file "profile.ini", then restart the system.
Catch: This solution is only stored in the user profile, that means if creating a new default profile, the fix will not be there. Could be copied over, but needs remembering it. And if keeping the "fixed" profile for use the next KM version, which hopefully has the bug fully fixed, the workaround isn't necessary anymore but still blocks ALL crash alerts, incl. the real ones.

________________________________________
[b]version-2:[/b]
Add this code to a default macro like "main.kmm". It's in folder ...programs.../K-Meleon/macros. Open it with notepad and add at top or bottom:
[code][color=blue]# Bug-workaround: Suppress all "K-Meleon wasn't closed properly"-alerts at browser start:
setpref(BOOL,"kmeleon.plugins.sessions.cleanShutdown","true"); [/color]
[/code]This is stored for all profiles in the current KM installation. Future KM versions (which hopefully are fixed) will not wrongly 'inherit' that old workaround, since old default macros are always overwritten with new versions. The only prob: The user needs writing rights in the programs folder, or know how to get it.

________________________________________
[b]version-3:[/b]
Add a separate macro with that fix: Open notepad to create a new document. Add same lines again as above:
[code][color=blue]# Bug-workaround: Suppress all "K-Meleon wasn't closed properly"-alerts at browser start:
setpref(BOOL,"kmeleon.plugins.sessions.cleanShutdown","true"); [/color][/code]
Now things get "difficult" (today one is called 'advanced' to know how to find notepad or store files with it ;-)
Okay, now store it as [color=blue]"crash_falsealert_bugfix.kmm"[/color] into one of the macros folders. Make sure there is no ".txt" ending added automatically, store it with the option "all files *.*" or such. Preferably into folder programs/K-Meleon/macros, so it works in ALL profiles. If writing rights are a prob, then into the user profile folder /macros.
This separate macro can later be found and switched on/off in 
Edit > Preferences > K-Meleon Plugins > Macro Extension

Perhaps a mod can post that kmm-file as attachment here, to make things easier? And encoded "UTF-8 with BOM" flag, in case a user may add notes with special characters ;-) Thank you![/quote]
