How do I stop these automatic updates?
Thanks
Turn them off in your preferences. But why would you want to?
Thank you Jaime. Your question is a fair one, and I'll try to quickly
explain.
On 9-21, I opened SM and did my usual routine. Closed SM, worked with
some other programs, closed them, and did some yard work. Came in later
and tried to open SM. I got the Mozilla start page like it had done an
update. Hit HOME, same Mozilla start page. Panic. No bookmarks,
address books, extensions, etc. No two named profiles. I was dead in
the water, so I set up a new news.mozilla.org account and fired off the
message which started this thread. I wanted no updates until I got my
mess sorted out. A new update was the usual suspect.
On 9-22, I determined that I had a virgin profile. Closed SM, used Win
file manager to look in ~seamonkey/profiles folder, and found that I had
my three original profiles plus a new ~.default profile. Now I had two
~.default profiles. Profile manager was useless since it only saw one
profile--the virgin one. Tried renaming the new default profile. Error
message--another instance of SM was running. Nope. Restart. Nope.
Closed SM, went back to ~seamonkey/profiles folder. Now I had three
~.default files. I seemed to be compounding the problem.
It was getting late, so I deleted the two new ~.default files, turned
off the PC, and went to bed. This morning, I have my three original
profiles back, my customizations, my bookmarks, et. al. Seems to be
working fine. I will watch it closely for a few days.
I apologize for the poor choice of subject and question. I suspected
the recent update. I should have zeroed in on profiles.
