I created a new profile and ran in safe mode. The mail & newsgroup

couple of addons. That seems to have done the trick. So, encouraged by
this success, I tried to update from SM 2.25, which I was using, to SM
2.38. All looked OK, until I discovered that all my passwords were
gone! I tried SM 2.33, with the same result. Now I'm back to SM 2.25
and all is working fine. I'd like to update, but not if I have to lose
all my passwords!
Do you have the Remember Passwords extension installed?
Known Issues
<http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.30/#issues>
The Remember Passwords add-on breaks password handling. Please disable
or uninstall this add-on using the Add-ons Manager.
I don't have that add on installed, & just discovered today [since I
posted that earlier message] that Password Manager in SM 2.26.1 is wonky
too. I didn't know it had changed in this version that's why I hadn't
checked it. At first it wouldn't give me anything but cookies, but I
just kept flipping around the choices ... and finally I must have backed
my way into the password list. ;)
Seriously, it isn't working right, but as long as I can eventually get
to the password list, and it will work on web sites, I'll live with
it. I just wanted to post this, because I felt that I left the
impression that everything was working "right" in 2.26.1, when it's not,
at least for me. :)

Does this mean saved passwords may have been working in 2.38 as well,
but you hadn't found them in the data manager?
The "data manager" shows all sorts of data associated with web sites in
one place - cookies, passwords, etc. If you select "Passwords only"
instead of "All data" from the dropdown in the top left, you'll have a
list of just the sites for which you've saved passwords. When you click
a domain in the list on the left, you may then need to select the
"Passwords" tab at the top to see the passwords.
If saved passwords are still not working, try running the new version
with add-ons disabled. Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled, or launch
SeaMonkey using "SeaMonkey (Safe Mode)" from the start menu. Although
you don't have the Remember Passwords extension, it's possible that
another add-on causes problems. I think I've seen mention of at least on
other than Remember Passwords which causes problems, but can't remember
the name right now.
Mark.
