Since installing SM 2.8 I'm getting some problems. When I click a link
in another program now, instead of popping up the SM window, it
doesn't. SM goes to the link but I have to click the SM task bar icon
to go to see it.

Things also seem slower now too.

Is 2.8 screwed up?


That problem was there from SM 2.7 Mac also - bug #724293.

If you use Spaces on a Mac you'll likely also notice that 2.8 doesn't
shift to the SM Space or return to Open from Minimize either - bug
#735946.

I hadn't noticed it being slower, but I have gone back to 2.7.2 because
of the above.


How do I go back and still keep everything like my bookmarks and settings?


Jean, from the header of your message, I cannot tell what operating system you are using, but I'm guessing Windows, so these should work.

First things first.....back-up your profile! In SeaMonkey, have a look at Edit->Mail & Newsgroup Settings and select "Server Settings" for your e-mail accounts. At the bottom of this screen is your Local directory location. This is where your profile is stored. Make a copy of the profile or use a program called MozBackup to make a copy.

Next....Download a copy of SM 2.7.2 from www.seamonkey-project.org.

Three....Install SM 2.7.2 over the top of your current SM 2.8. To find where your SM 2.8 is installed, right click on your desktop icon and note the location listed under "properties".

Four....to connect to your profile, in SeaMonkey, select Tools->Switch Profiles->Manage Profiles->Create Profile, give it a name and, on the same screen, "Choose Folder" and point it to the folder (has a name something like efbj6hdb.default) that contains your old profile.

Report back.
