Not sure if it's still necessary, but it also used to be required to find _every_ instance of the acrobat plugin (acrobat does not remove old acrobat versions when you install updates) and rename every plugin. My recollection is that setting user_pref(plugin.scan.Acrobat, 99.9); used to be all that was required. Now, I have to do that =plus= delete whatever files the acrobat reader update process added to the seamonkey/plugins directory.

On the other hand if the complete application is replaced. You might have th preferences reset. Then maybe not. The application is what's affected not -- Phillip M.
