Seamonkey has been my main browser/email since the Netscape days and
generally works very well.
I updated to Seamonkey 2.31 from 2.30 and then it crashed. Whenever I
tried opening it, it crashed and a problem window came up. I
uninstalled 2.31 and then reinstalled it from a downloaded version off
the Seamonkey web site. I still could not open it - was getting the
same crash message.
I then uninstalled 2.31 and installed 2.30 using a version downloaded
from the Seamonkey web site. The 2.30 is working normally.
Anyone else have this problem?
Did you try 2.31 in Safe Mode? That would tell you if an add-on
incompatibility is at fault.
Thanks. This was a good call. However, the problem was not in add-ons.
I dont know which of these two steps resolved it:
Either resetting the toolbars and windowswhich I recommend to try
firstor resetting all user settings to defaults, which is a pain
Especially since it loses all mail account settings!
(And also all possible security tweaks one might not remember if its
been some time
)
I suggest reverting to 2.30 first and noting down all you might need,
especially for your email accounts.
Resetting will not delete any mail files from your disk, but setting
everything up again can be a real pain.
I really dont know what was the cause of the crash, but I noticed that
once I got the 2.31 running, the most visited folder (and the shortcut
to bookmarks) reappeared in my bookmarks bar. I guess I have had deleted
the most visited one, and removed the bookmarks shortcut; and
overall, I had my toolbars somewhat customised

PS: Anyways, I guess no more automatic updates for me. This took me a
few hours to fix, at quite a wrong time.
