I've been trying to determine why having a new profile permits maps to

relevant is that my old profile prevents Java Platform SE 7 U25
10.25.2.17 from running automatically ("ask to activate") while the new
profile indicatesw this plugin is "always active."
Now this may not cause the change in drawing the maps but can anyone
tell me why this Java plugin is accepted by the new profile and not the
old? I have scripts turned on in Preferences for both profiles.
Only way to fix old profile is to disable all plugins and extensions/addons and
enable them one by one and also go through entire set of preferences in
Edit==>preferences.
It is tedious if you have lot of plugins and extensions/addons.
I had to fix my profile when i moved from 2.21==>2.22 as addon compatibility
addon which i had stopped behaving well.
I still don't know exactly what was wrong but do have a simple solution. Testing
by starting Seamonkey in "safe-mode" with all plugins deactivated did not help.
Creating a new profile worked but it is almost impossible to transfer over all
email and newsgroup accounts/messages. IMPORT from the mail & newsgroup page in
v2.22 does not work. When you use Tools/Import the "from where" page is blank
and you can't get any further.
What I did find is that making a copy of prefs.js and deleting or renaming
prefs.js has the same effect as creating a new profile with one very major
benefit. Seamonkey will crate a new prefs.js but you will still retain your
bookmarks. You will also retain your extensions and email/newsgroup accounts and
messages if you just transfer all of the user_pref("extensions.... and
user_pref("mail.account.... entries for the copy of prefs.js to the newly
created prefs.js.
Subsequent editing of preferences in the normal manner is trivial to go back to
any special features you had set previously.
So in short, the upgrade from 2.21 to 2.22 must have resulted in some
incompatibility in prefs.js which Seamonkey did not report nor auto-correct.
