Q: Want to backup your profile? A: Just ZIP, RAR, TAR, GZIP, 7ZIP, whatever your seamonkey directory (wherever it resides OS specific) to some place safe. -- Take care, Jonathan --- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Other follow-ups have good advice, and you should follow them. In the meantime, you probably should forget about MozBackup. That one was abandoned by its developer several years ago, and there's a growing number of things in Mozilla architecture that it doesn't account for -- in particular, that would be Firefox (especially Quantum), and perhaps there's less issues with current versions of Firefox. However, it's likely that there's stuff in Seamonkey that's newer than the last release of MozBackup doesn't account for. You're definitely better off in making a straight copy of the entire profile (using a zip archive is good, but not essential), and has been noted, it's easy to move a profile across platforms, whether Windows, Linux or Mac.

Close SeaMonkey and make sure it is not running any longer in the background. Zip the complete AppData\Roaming\mozilla\SeaMonkey under your profile. If you use only SeaMonkey or want to move Fx too zip AppData\Roaming\mozilla\ On the new PC use the same userid if possible. Delete the compete AppData\Roaming\mozilla\SeaMonkey directory. Unzip you backup and you should be good to go. I regularly do this doing tests in VMs. Works in Vista to 10. XP / Server 2003 has a slightly different structure but basically the same.

I did create a new profile on that machine, pointed the new profile to imported profile and the only thing which happens is that AdBlock is the only item which appears on the browser, no bookmarks, no emails nada... Any suggestions as to what I may have missed in the process of transferring and/or installing on the new machine? This is between a desktop and laptop.
