I just now did the following: 1. Back up my five profiles. 2. Uninstall SeaMonkey 2.49.5 x64. 3. Install SeaMonkey 2.49.5 x64 in the same non-default location where I had previously installed SeaMonkey. Whenever I install or update an application, I log the changes to the Windows registry and to all my files. When I updated from SeaMonkey 2.49.4 to 2.49.5 x64 without first removing SeaMonkey, the log was 265 KB. This time, the log was only 91 KB. Doing all this did not resolve my only problem, which I think is a profile issue. In one profile, I cannot set the master password or any site-specific password. In two other profiles, I do not have this problem. In the two remaining of my five profiles, I do not use passwords. The profile having the problem shows no other signs of corruption. I would appreciate if someone could tell me what files I could copy from one of the two "totally good" profiles into the problem profile to fix this. -- David E.
