Interviewed by CNN on 27/09/2011 20:33, Henry told the world:

Recent versions of Seamonkey (2.1 and above) "advertise" the fact that
they use the same rendering engine as Firefox, and most sites treat them
as Firefox. (This behavior can be turned off if you wish)

> Can I go from Mozilla 1.7 to Seamonkey 2.4 directly?

Not recommended, no. There were just too many changes in the way, and
there's no supported migration path for that.

The shortest path would be the one Callek mentioned: SM 1.1, SM 2.0 and
then SM 2.4. That is, two intermediate steps, three migrations in total.
The first one is pretty easy and I don't remember any problems back in
the time -- but both the 1.1->2.0 and 2.0->2.x migrations are a bit
tricky and can have issues.

Frankly, if you know how to move your e-mail archives, address book and
bookmarks, it might be less trouble on the long run to begin with a
clean Seamonkey profile. That way, you don't have to worry about old
"baggage" being carried over. Your old extensions and themes probably
wouldn't work anyway.
