Google search link fix

Google search link fix 1.4.9
SeaMonkey 2.33.1 with fresh profile
Windows 7 SP1 32-bit
I get gibberish on restart when I try to copy a link on a search page.
* succeeds on install
* fails on restart
* succeeds if I then disable and enable the extension, then refresh the search page
Here is a workaround.

Why doesn't a script change take effect on restart? Gecko has a javascript cache, which is not automatically cleared across restarts. To clear the cache when restarting, add a -purgecaches flag to the executable commandline.
i.e. seamonkey.exe -purgecaches
