Historical background
1. I started out when Netscape 4.x was latest and greatest
Upgraded over years to Mozilla and then Seamonkey
2. Up until ~4 years ago I was doing some informal support for two
visually impaired naive users at church. I set my system up
to emulate the features they typically had problems with.
3. I have some ideas about what makes a page legible, primarily
use black text on white background wherever possible. So I
set many things up to override the page designers choices.
4. My system is WinXP Pro SP3. I have no idea (nor really care)
how IE was configured by my vendor. I use it *ONLY* to access
MS update site.
The problem
Cruddy conflicting settings have been inherited which prevent some pages
from displaying properly. The most annoying problem is that menus
appearing when you hover over a link have a transparent background
making it illegible (text overwriting text). The pages display properly
in a Firefox installation to which I have access.
This symptom has was apparently solved during update from
SeaMonkey 1.x to 2.y. One of the pages I've read mentioned that
some problems are cleaned up by the migration from ver 1 to 2.
Questions
1. I'm about to upgrade from Seamonkey 2.0.5. I wish to leave
all of my existing profiles *UNTOUCHED*. I want my updated
SeaMonkey to act as if it was first browser ever installed.
HOW?
NoOp straitened me out on this issue.
Short answer - install to new directory *AND* create a new
profile by launching with profile manager option.
2. Where are all the options in prefs.js / user.js documented?
open
3. Is there anything in prefs.js that cannot be forced to a
preferred state by a line in user.js.
open - I suspect this may be important as I do some abnormal things.
4. Since I'm obviously out of date should I be learning about
style sheets? If so, what?
Thank you.
