I am not convinced I'll switch though, as too many add-ons are not compatible. 2.1a1pre are completely experimental, untested versions. If you use any of those, make sure you have backups of all your data as we can't guarantee this bleeding edge development version won't just destroy data without warnings (this rarely happens, but without testing, we can never know). Still, it's interesting to know that your problem doesn't appear there.

Here is the result: I did make a new profile for the new installation. It went well and this time I could restart SM and it came up with the new profile. The new profile works correctly. My home page with two tabs starts up correctly. There is a difference between the lines for the startup pages in the two prefs.js files that I find a little puzzling. In my old troublesome profile, the first startup page is listed but with no number. All the additional ones have a dot and a number behind. The count is correct. In the new profile, the first home page is not listed. The second tab is listed with a dot and number, and the count is correct. So far, this is the main difference between the two. Does this ring any bells? Checking the disks for errors did nothing for this problem.

I have now tried to install an extra copy of SM in a new location. I'm getting the same results. Can anyone help me? Try to use a new pofile with that extra copy you installed. Mayb youshould perform a chkdsk -f on that drive that holds your SM and the drive which holds your profile. regards Martin Additioinally, with two profiles installed, the old installation will not start up anymore. The new one does but I only get home pages loading with the new profile. I'd like to find out how to get the old profile working correctly again. TIA.

Its a Bug. there are two ways it will happen. you can over come it but it always comes back. If you happen to not have Preference Appearance Browser and Mail news both checked. It is guaranteed that you will see this. And when you go to the section Browser make sure that the name for your Home page doesn't have an extra space. I do have both Browser and MailNews checked. and both of them do start up. And I do have the problem. Not only when starting, but any new browser window. In about:config I cannot find any extra spaces in my home page names. Is there another place I should check where an extra space could be hiding? If it's a bug that can be overcome I could live with it but now it's really bothersome. Margo Try go to your home page after seeing about:blank then try going to Preferences Browser in the new Box for desired page delete the URL for your home page remove all characters including spaces and any returns. next click use click use current page. next quit out preferences. Quit out of SeaMonkey. restart SeaMonkey. Should go to your home page. should last about next 10 or so start ups. and you'll have to do it again. No such luck. I never got to my homepage. It just starts with the blank tab. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
