I have made all data partitions the same drive letter on all machines so the profiles are not confused about where data is located.

It is not a big deal. Why does it need to be? I do something similar, it works well and has for years: 1) On the laptop/target computer, rename the \Mozilla folder to \Old_Mozilla. This allows me to revert easily if something goes wrong. It also prevents Windows from doing funny things (replacing some files and folders, adding others) if it finds partial matches within the folder tree. 2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the desktop/source computer to the laptop/target computer. Run normally on the laptop. On my return, repeat the process in the other direction: 1) On the desktop/target computer, rename the \Mozilla folder to \Old_Mozilla. 2) Copy the \Mozilla folder from the laptop/source computer to the desktop/target computer. Run normally on the desktop. This all assumes that I have the same versions of SeaMonkey and the same plugins and add-ons on the two computers. I can't predict what would happen if those assumptions didn't hold. And of course once I've assured myself that all is well on the target computer, I delete the \Old_Mozilla folder. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
