I am the sole user of 4 of my 5 profiles. The 5th is for guests. I use one of the profiles for general browsing. I use another because certain Web sites -- especially banking and mutual funds -- require my preferences be set in a manner different from the way I really want them. A 3rd profile is for my son's banking and mutual funds. Logins to the accounts (his or mine) have passwords input to pages separate from the pages where we input our user IDs. He has different passwords. This drives Password Manager crazy. I have this profile for my son because he recently died, and I am trying to settle his estate (complicated because he left no will or trust). The 4th profile I use is for a single category of browsing with a very large number of bookmarks. Since I have set preferences in all 5 profiles to delete the cache upon termination (the cache at C:\SeaMonkey2\cache) and since changing profiles effectively terminates SeaMonkey, there is no conflict between profiles by having all of them use the same cache directory. When I say that the cache should be in a particular directory, not all caches are in that directory. When I say delete the cache on termination, not all caches are deleted. When I select [Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Cache] and then select the Clear Cache button, not all caches are cleared. I consider all this to be a bug and might submit a bug report at mozilla.bugzilla.org. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Are taxes too high in the U.S.?
