First, the bad news: - You can NEVER use one profile in more than one
program instance at a time. - Normally you shouldn't use a single
profile in different applications, there may be incompatibilities
between them. For instance in the past, Firefox moved its bookmarks
from bookmark.htm (or something) to places.sqlite much earlier than
SeaMonkey did. Some preferences may have different meanings or
different defaults. And so on. (Whenever a Mozilla app sees that a
preference has been set to what has now become the current default,
it omits the preference when saving at closedown. The next time the
default changes, you'll get the new default. Now if a Boolean pref
defaults to true in Firefox and to false in SeaMonkey... YSWIM.) - It
*is* possible to run Firefox and/or SeaMonkey and/or Thunderbird all
at the same time, but each with its own profile. You might even set
up the same mail accounts in SeaMonkey and Thunderbird, but in that
case, if it's a POP3 server, you'll probably want one of them to
"Leave mail on server". (For IMAP4 leaving mail on server is the
normal behaviour.) Similarly you may define the same bookmarks and
passwords in the *different* profiles used by SeaMonkey and Firefox.
And now the good news: - With Firefox 4 (or later), SeaMonkey 2.1
beta (or later), you may use Sync to synchronise passwords,
bookmarks, etc. between different profiles, even between Firefox (for
desktop/laptop), Firefox-mobile (for smartphone) and SeaMonkey. On
recent builds, you don't even need an extension for that.
Best regards, Tony.
Has anyone written an app to write a converted version of these files?
Perhaps updated at Reboot or Shutdown or maybe every "x" minutes?
That way if one is in Seamonkey the app writes a version of Bookmarks
(etc) to a Firefox or Midori or OtherBrowser-friendly version, and
the same when in one of the other browsers.
So long as that app is kept up-to-date, and it reads the version
numbers of the currently-loaded browsers then it will keep everything
happy.
