I've been having all sorts of problems with 2.29 and 2.29.1. On my
desktop, 2.29.1 now seems to be working fairly well. On my laptop, it
either can't see my email accounts or the browser won't run. In
frustration, I decided to let 2.29.1 create a new profile and migrate
data from the old one to it. Main things I wanted were email accounts,
bookmarks and passwords. However...
I read this page -
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_SeaMonkey
prior to starting. Trouble is, it doesn't seem to have been updated
since sometime in 2009, so a good bit of it seems to now be obsolete.
And I've not found other sources that are much better.
bookmarks.html no longer exists, and places.sqlite doesn't seem to
contain my original bookmarks. I've got round most of the problem by
exporting bookmarks.html from the old profile (its still active and
available under a different Linux distribution). But passwords has so
far got me completely lost.
I followed the directions - used the new profile to log into a password
protected site, saved the password. But there is no <numbers>.s file
created. And no information that I can find to help me actually get the
password data from the old profile to the new one.
I've used Seamonkey for as long as its been around, and prefer it to
Firefox/Thunderbird, but I've got to admit, the problems with language
files, profile problems and just general mess involved with 2.29 is
making me seriously consider migrating to something else entirely. Which
I'd rather not do, but....
I'm using the Arch 64-bit build of 2.291.
Paul.
