The system has worked well over the last umpteen years. It is only a

I'm starting to feel that I should not have mentioned the Linux
profile problem, as both responders have focused on that rather than
the problem that I was actually trying to get assistance with ....
trying to get a Profile were *I* wanted it, rather than it going
where, *apparently* , SeaMonkey wants to put it!!
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.
Moving or duplicating SeaMonkey|Firefox|Thunderbird to and from Linux
and Windows (or Mac) is very easy drag and drop affair. I have don it
countless times.
Sharing a profile dir is an issue regardless of the OS, but pathing
issues is a real problem with dissimilar OSes because the the
prefs.js records paths for some actions.
Thank you, Jonathan, but that's not the problem I'm interested in. I see
you are on WOW64 Windows 7, the same as me.
Well actually it's Win10 on this box, but should not make a difference
how profiles are managed have not changed in years.
I'm sure I read Wow64 Windows 7 in your user agent .... but cannot even
find the line in that other message now, so who knows!!
Could you please have a go at giving yourself a new, test, SeaMonkey
profile by selecting Tools->Switch Profiles->Manage Profiles and then,
on the second screen, give this Profile a Name then Click on the
"Choose Folder" button, pick a new location (i.e. *not* the one
suggested by SeaMonkey) and see if the Location on the "Create Profile
Wizard" screen has changed to the location you had selected??
I've never bothered. Always did it old-school and just edit the
profiles.ini
But I did as you suggested and it work okay. Created a pristine profile
in the directory I selected and updated the profiles.ini
[Profile1]
Name=Junk for demo
IsRelative=0
Path=D:\foobar
Thank you for trying. I'll mark you down as someone who knows what he's
doing!! ;-)
