I was not sure about that, so here is what I did.

1.  Already having the Password Exporter extension installed, I exported
all my passwords.

2.  I went to [Edit > Privacy & Security > Master Passwords] and
selected the Reset Password button.

3.  I updated SeaMonkey.

4.  I went to [Edit > Privacy & Security > Master Passwords] and
established a master password.

5.  I used the Password Exporter extension to import the passwords from
the exported file.

6.  I used a STRONG file eraser to erase the exported file.

Beyond Meat and other such vegetarian meat substitutes
represent the ultimate in ultra-processed foods.  Real
meat is natural.  Beyond Meat is definitely not.  No,
I do NOT own a cattle ranch, a butcher shop, or any
other business doing commerce in meat.
