My thanks to all who responded, and in particular to Hartmut Figge
and to David Ross, both of whom referred me to Help / Troubleshooting / 
Profile Folder / Show Folder, which does indeed disclose where my 
profile can be found :


> 
D:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\.default


Rather more interestingly (perhaps), Help / Troubleshooting discloses
some previously unknown limitations of my setup, and in particular,
purported problems with the driver for my graphics card :

Now I run Seamonkey in a virtual machine, as I suspect an increasing 
number of people will want to do; since Control Panel shows no problems

whatsoever with the drivers for the virtual S3 graphics card, what is
leading Seamonkey to believe that there are "unresolved driver issues",
and what hope is there that a future release will be able to fully
exploit WebGL, DirectWrite, Direct2D and so on in a Windows Virtual PC ?

I agree.


I download all the stuff with the new version.
I first copy my profile(in case of). Then i do "add/remove program" to
completely remove SM.
and finally i install the new version.


But you are working harder than you need to.  Consider this.  SM changes 
often.  Maybe the new one will work for, maybe not.  Don't get rid of 
the old until you are sure you prefer the new.


Move your profile(s) to a neutral location, preferably some partition 
other than the boot partition.  Then create a shortcut with the target 
like this;

H:\SM10-Win\seamonkey.exe -Profilemanager
Note, SM installed in a directory named seamonkey, I changed it to 
something that is meaningful to me.


Now when you execute the shortcut it will open a profilemanager window. 
 The first time you do this you will have to lead profilemanager to 
your profile thru the built-in filemanager.  After that whenever you put 
another version of SM on the HDD just create a shortcut for it as above.


Also, starting thru profilemanager provides an easy way for you to 
manage multiple profiles.  Maybe one for you and another for another 
family member.  Or maybe some test profiles.  If there is a limit to the 
number of profiles you can have available, I have never hit it.


You don't need to remove previous versions of SM until you are sure you 
are done with them.  You can have as many versions on the HDD as you 
have space for.  So long as the profile and the various versions are 
compatible, just select the shortcut and they will all use the same profile.


Running new versions is easier if you use the ZIP distro rather than the 
EXE.  SM does not need to be "installed".  Just unzip, change the 
sub-directory name to something you want, create a shortcut, done.  To 
get rid of unwanted versions just delete the sub-directory.  Windows 
never knew it was there, and won't miss it when it is gone.

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/

I don't have any part of SM on the boot partition; programs, profiles, 
mail.  OSs also change.  I have multiple versions of Win all using the 
same SM files.  But that is another story.

But NFN Smith wrote, "It's the same directory as your user profile," as

the same confusing assumption.


Since the user documentation does not mention the file, a link

Harmut's link upthread to  is a 
good start; if you have something better to recommend I'm sure users 
would welcome it.

Is it safe to use old SeaMonkey v2.0.14's uninstaller to remove it and not touch v2.11?

[Ant]

Hi!

I think it is time to dump my outdated, v2.0.14 soon. May I safely use 
its uninstaller in Windows XP Pro. SP3 and 64-bit W7 HPE? This includes 
deleting the old profiles. I currently have two different profiles and 
SM installation directories/folders for both versions (v2.10.1 was 
installed as a new one).


Thank you in advance. :)

You should never have to update/change your UA string unless you have a 
reason to spoof it.  For that purpose I've found this add-on to be 
simply the best, easiest way to change my UA string on the fly -


http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/

Don't mind the Firefox ad - it works with SM.

And if you need a reference for building or analyzing UA strings, this 
is a great one -

On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Help > Troubleshooting Information].
 The 4th line under "Application Basics" is "Application Basics" with a
button labeled "Show Folder".  Select that button.  It opens the window
for your current profile.

DO NOT EDIT prefs.js.

Only edit user.js, which overrides prefs.js when SeaMonkey is first
launched.  That is, if SeaMonkey is already running, changes to user.js
become effective only when you terminate and then relaunch SeaMonkey.

Alternatively, you may make changes via about:config.  You enter
"about:config" (without the quote marks) in the address area (URI bar)
in SeaMonkey.  Changes there become effective immediately.

The difference between user.js and about:config is that you can insert
comments into the former to remind you why you entered a particular
setting.  You cannot annotate about:config, which is why I generally use
user.js and discuss it first.

This discussion started with a question about setting the UA string.  To
override the default, the preference variable is
general.useragent.override
Unless you set it to a non-standard value, you will NOT see this via
about:config.

Some final warnings:  Some preferences require more than a single
preference variable, and some require some housekeeping when they are
changed.  Thus, you should first resort to [Edit > Preferences] on the
SeaMonkey menu bar before using user.js or about:config.  If the setting
you want cannot be accessed that way -- and changing the UA string
cannot -- you might then consider using a well-tested, much-used
extension instead of user.js or about:config.  Two such extensions for
changing the UA string are PrefBar (my preferred) or UserAgentSwitcher.
 On the other hand, if you merely want to defeat bad sniffing, try
enabling "Advertise Firefox compatibility" from the SeaMonkey menu bar
with [Edit > Preferences > Advanced > HTTP Networking].  Both of these
methods (extension or "Advertise Firefox compatibility") should handle
all related preference variables and housekeeping without terminating
SeaMonkey and relaunching it.

How does one predict the directory in which Seamonkey

It's the same directory as your user profile.  If I remember correctly, 
the contents of user.js override what's in prefs.js.  Thus, if you save 
something in a user.js file, then no matter what you do with a prefs.js 
file, whether direct edit, or updating via about:conf, you get the 
setting in prefs.js.


At least that's the way it used to work.  I haven't dug into that area 
recently, and I'm not familiar with the auto-migrate to prefs.js that 
Jay mentioned.

In about:config, pieces are scattered among a few preference variables.

Normally, it is automatically changed whenever you update SeaMonkey.
Otherwise, it only needs to be updated when a poorly written Web site
has invalid UA sniffing.

See my  for further
information about invalid sniffing and how to defeat it.

I don't remember where, specifically, it's set.

It's been a long time since I *needed* to change the user agent setting

Password Manager not filling in Cisco site credentials

When I attempt to sign in to the Cisco.com site I'm not prompted for
the master password. If I've already entered the master password, I
still don't have the user name available as a drop down under the user
name field. It doesn't seem to be a case where the input tag has the
autocomplete attribute set to off, at least I can't see it in the page
source nor examining the fields with the DOM inspector. Using a clean
profile, I am prompted to save the credentials and they are visible in

No, it isn't. Click on Help => About Seamonkey, it's the last line:

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120715
Firefox/14.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.11

And there is no need to change it unless instructed to do so by someone
in support if needed.

No, it's just a website embedded (loaded) into the Sync setup wizard.

I guess it's a connection issue on your end or between you, your provider and
the CAPTCHA provider, because it worked for me on both Win 7 with a recent SM
nightly (2.14a) and on Linux with SM 2.11.

The only other reason I could think of would be that the CAPTCHA provider's site
is blocked by some software on your end, e.g. an add-on. Sync takes care of
NoScript itself, but anything else (like AdBlock Plus) could interfere.


Nothing of that nature loaded, and probably wouldn't change with 2.9.1 vs. 2.11 
anyhow. Well, I'll look at the source and see if anything is obvious, maybe even 
install KDE and see if it's related in some way.


Thanks for the hints.

Could it be that the captcha is coming from a remote source which is

I'll try that, but why 2.9.1 would work and 2.11 not...?

I was hoping a developer would comment, but I guess the SM developers just leave 
a hook for sync and don't want to get into it (reasonable), while the sync 
developers don't read here (assumption, possibly wrong).

Dictionaries are located in the /seamonkey/dictionaries

Any changes/additions that you may have made is located in your profile

Thank you.  That did the trick.  Both of those files were missing from 
the SeaMonkey program "Dictionaries" folder.  Makes me wonder what else 
got corrupted when the SM program freaked out, and also why 
re-installing it didn't correct a problem like this.

Known Issues
This list covers some of the known problems with SeaMonkey 2.11. Please
read this before reporting any new bugs.

Data loss warning: If you use a profile with this or any later
version and then try to go back to SeaMonkey 2.0, SeaMonkey will rename
your history file to places.sqlite.corrupt and create a new
places.sqlite file, effectively resetting your browsing history. This is
because the internal format changed and the upgrade process only works
in one direction. Additionally, running MailNews with local folders and
POP3 mail filters may produce summary files that are not correctly read
by previous versions of SeaMonkey. If you decide to go back to a
previous version of SeaMonkey, you should delete the .msf files for your
local folders and POP3 accounts or repair the folders using the folder
properties dialog in order to avoid potential data loss.

There are others, so I'd recommend reading all of the release notes.

Funny they would say that, I have their fiber and guess what, it's 
buried underground. They installed it a couple of years ago, used the 
existing street conduit throughout the neighborhood but added new for 
each individual house they were connecting. If they won't upgrade you, 
it's not for technical reasons, they must think there's not enough 
profit to be had.

SeaMonkey and Firefox are totally separate applications, and use totally
separate profiles, so you should have no problems.

Always backup your profile as a precaution.
