Sharing a profile between Windows and Linux is completely unsupported. Things
like last download dir are stored in it and will cause problems if Windows
finds a Linux path or Linux a path with a Windows drive.

I have been trying to set up my Linux SeaMonkey to use the same profile files
as my Win7 SeaMonkey 2.49.1 on my Win E:\ drive. In doing this, I had stuffed
up the location, you know, that bit where you select a location for the
Profile .... and SeaMonkey puts the Profile in a folder *BELOW* that selected
location!! This has resulted in my Windows SeaMonkey, when I boot up the Mail
& News Screen, listing all the abook.mab, booklist.xml, blocklist-addons.json,
bookmarkbackups, Cache, cache2, cert8.db, etc, etc, something like 50 files
and folders showing up on-screen in my Win7 SeaMonkey e-mail account screen.
No problem, I thought, its about time I had a new profile and then I could
just copy over the required files and then, after some time, I could delete
and remove all the old profiles and their files/folders. Or so I thought!!
I started SeaMonkey, went to Tools->Switch Profiles, selected "Manage Profile"
then "Create Profile" and created a new Profile. Of course, I like to install
my Profiles where I want, on my E:\, so on the second screen, I selected
"Choose Folder" and selected where I wanted the Profile on the E:\ drive.
When I finished the Profile creation, I noticed the "Create Profile Wizard"
screen showed that my "user settings, preferences and other user-related data"
would be stored at
C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\(gobble-de-gook.Default
User.
No problem, I thought, that's just where "they" store the extraneous part of
the Profile. Then I went looking for my profile and it wasn't anywhere near
where I had told SeaMonkey to put it! I then tried to create a new Profile
directly under my E:\ .... and it didn't show up, but still the
C:\Users\Daniel\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\(gobble-de-gook.Default
User was showing up on the Create Profile Wizard.
What am I doing wrong?? Or is the "Create Profile Wizard" broken in that it
will not allow me to put a Profile where I want it?? Could someone else try
creating a new Profile using the "Create Profile Wizard" on Win7 or, possible
10, in SeaMonkey 2.49.1??
TIA
