The two methods accomplish the same thing: setting the preference
variable signon.startup.prompt to "false".
In the user.js method, you must find that file. It's in your SeaMonkey
profile. If it does not exist, find prefs.js, which must exist in the
profile; then, create user.js. NEVER edit prefs.js! You are apparently
using a Mac, which should have some kind of plain-text editor. Use that
editor to enter the three lines I indicated.
If this is not working, something may have changed between SeaMonkey
2.0.x and 2.1.x.
