Have you considered Classic Shell from ?
It works with Windows 8 (and 7, 8.1, and others).  It allows you to
tailor much of the Windows user interface (but not all) to resemble
Windows XP.

Yes, I thought maybe Session Manager that I have used on Fx for many 
years, (but only this year on SeaMonkey) could be the problem. But I 
didn't think about trying Safe Mode until today (after some sleep).  The 
default profile started just fine in Safe Mode.  So, I looked at the 
disabled extensions to see if I might suspect one as the problem but 
most of them I have on the newer profile which is fine.


I closed SeaMonkey Safe Mode.  I restarted the problematic default 
profile and it was fine.  But because I had started in Safe Mode 
earlier, Session Manager did not popup asking which session to start.  A 
new session with no saved tabs was started.


I looked at History and it said about 8 sites were visited early this AM 
(when I couldn't get SeaMonkey default profile to start).   So, 
evidently, SeaMonkey default profile did start and used the last saved 
tab session but I couldn't see it and Safe Mode today  started with a 
NEW session, and no saved tabs.  I closed SeaMonkey and restarted 
default profile and SAME PROBLEM AGAIN.  Session Manager popped up and 
asked which session to start.  I chose the session and saw a brief flash 
on my screen and then nothing but SeaMonkey was open on the taskbar. 
This confirms the problem is with Session Manager.  I'll have to start 
again in Safe Mode and uninstall Session Manager.  Restart normally and 
reinstall Session Manager (or simply clear all saved sessions and not 
have to uninstall/reinstall).

First of all, Mozilla (including such Mozilla-based applications as
SeaMonkey) used the term "chrome" (lower-case "c") before Google
developed its Chrome (upper-case "C") browser.  If you have Firefox,
Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, or related applications, you have chrome folders
and files.  These have nothing to do with Chrome or chrome.exe.

Now for your problem, you have installed AVG Anti-Virus in addition to
Malwarebytes.  The fault lies with AVG Anti-Virus.  When you updated AVG
Anti-Virus, it automatically added the Chrome browser without asking you
for permission.  My recommendation is to uninstall both AVG Anti-Virus
and Chrome.  This can be complicated.  The following assumes you are
using Windows 7, but there should be equivalent steps with other
versions of Windows.

For Chrome, you must use the Windows Task Manager.  On your task bar at
the bottom of you monitor screen, right click away from any task
buttons.  Select Start Task Manager.  Select the Processes tab.  Near
the top of the Processes pane, click on the Image Name bar to sort the
processes in alphabetical order.  If you scroll down and see chrome.exe,
select it and then select the End Process button at the bottom-right
corner of the window.  Check to make sure Chrome is terminated.  Then
use the Windows Programs and Features window to uninstall Chrome; you
can reach this window from [Settings > Control Panel].

To uninstall AVG, see
.


Then get a fresh installer file for AVG.  When you install, make sure
you uncheck the checkboxes for also installing Chrome.  NEVER again
allow AVG to update automatically.  NEVER again click on the update
button in AVG.  ALWAYS work from a fresh installer file that you
download via SeaMonkey.

C:\programfiles(x86)...Application\chrome.exe.  Every time I try to uninstall

True, it works for me as well. However this morning I tried to post a message,

SM probably thinks the message was sent to your newsserver.
Check the sent messages folder if you save sent ng messages.

That could be it, although I personally see no connection to mail.

As a test, I repeated the scenario I reported with my home system,
which has an entirely separate profile and always has.

I opened the same web site with 2.46, authenticated, and got in.

I then upgraded to 2.48, and got the same weird error message when I
tried to connect.

I then restarted 2.48 in safe mode, accessed the web site (with
remembered authentication in this case, no attempt to clear anything),
and got in.

Then I restarted 2.48 normally, and access to this web site worked OK.

I can confirm that, if I open the browser first, I do not have this problem.

save a news message without sending it, it goes into 'local folders'; 
I can open it from there and post it easily


True, it works for me as well. However this morning I tried to post a 
message, and the newsserver of my provider refused it (username 
problems, they have some technical issues at the moment). SeaMonkey then 
told me it could not save the message, why was that?

Sure, why not? File | Save As | Draft. It'll show up in the Drafts folder for 
whatever account you use to post to the given newsgroup.

Could the problem be that there is no SM 2.47 for SM 2.46 to update to
on it's way to SM 2.48.

I seem to recall, in the dime dark days, where a version was missed,
that some magic had to be done on the server, or wherever, to allow
the Update function to allow skipping a version.


Ah!! O.K., then.

Default profile in 2.48 will not start

[Desiree]

I've mostly been using a newer profile since January 2017 and was using 
it when I shut SeaMonkey down and then installed 2.48 and restarted 
SeaMonkey.  It was fine on this profile except it could not do a speed 
test at dslreports (or anywhere) and get the usual speed.  It would get 
an extremely low download speed (other browsers got normal speed).  I 
had to reboot the computer for SeaMonkey 2.48 to be able to do a speed 
test correctly which seemed odd.


I 've had the new version for a few hours and just now tried to start 
the default profile (after reading at Mozillazine forums that someone 
lost their history on their very old default profile but their newer 
profile on 2.48 was fine).  My history is fine on the newer profile 
(only goes back to January 2017 while history on the default profile 
goes back as many years as SeaMonkey can keep) but when I tried to start 
the default profile by switching profiles within SeaMonkey, it would not 
open.  I get a SeaMonkey icon in the task bar but it will not start.  It 
is a VERY OLD profile (MANY YEARS) and, yes, I backed it up before 
installing 2.48.


How do I get SeaMonkey to start in the newer, working profile?  I 
suspect the older, default one is not salvageable (as the poster at 
Mozillazine thinks about his).  This should not have happened though and 
I blame it on the fact that I could NOT update internally. I have not, 
on any gecko browser, had good results with being forced to install a 
new version rather than update internally.

Re: Facebook Purity Not Working With 2.48

[Tom Pamin]

I have contacted him. He got Purity working with 2.46, and so far he 
thinks the same fix should work with 2.48 too. I will see if he has any 
other suggestions.

When was the last time you updated the extension?

The current version is 19.1.0 released on 2017-07-04.




Yes, I'm using the current version.

Perhaps he should fiddle inside the zip file to accept the new version 
of SM (2.48)
