I screwed up.
Now I have to try to restore everything.
I had a MozBackup file from July, but it just doesn't restore !
Went to restore, picked the file, but it doesn't show the "Next" button.
Looked at the instructions for MozBackup, but MB doesn't follow what is
said.
I have to pick 'Default' regardless of the saved file I chose.
How do you restore an old file ? How do you get MB to USE that file?

DO NOT EDIT prefs.js. The very top of the file says "Do not edit this
file."
Edit user.js. Terminate SeaMonkey and then restart it. The contents of
user.js overwrite the corresponding preference variables in prefs.js
whenever SeaMonkey starts up. I prefer this method because I can insert
comments into user.js to remind me why I have changed a preference.
Alternatively, enter about:config in the address area of the browser.
The preference variables displayed apply to both the browser and
mail-news.
The problem with this is that if you have a "user.js" file in your
profile it will be read when you launch the app and over-ride equivalent
prefs in "prefs.js."
So. You edit/create user.js. You run the app. And over time you use
the UI or about:config to change prefs. Let's say those changes get
recorded in prefs.js. Great.
You close the app. You run the app. The app loads prefs.js THEN loads
user.js and over-rides any changes you made using the UI or about:config.
