Thank you very much. I've downloaded it and use it to follow your steps.

But, since I had the exported passwords and a full profile backup, I
dared to upgrade WITHOUT first removing the master password...

And guess what! Everything worked OK! I tested a number of saved
passwords in different websites, until I got tired of being successful
in every try. The email accounts work fine, too, and I have some X.509
certificates that also worked OK.

Still, I do not endorse anyone to do the same than me; if you do, be
absolutely sure that you have a good, complete backup of your profile
(and, if you have more than one profile, remember to follow steps for
each one).

I'm using official builds of SeaMonkey, but my profile may be dated
back to 1995, when I started using Netscape as my email agent. It was
created on Windows 3.11 and ported to Linux some years after that. I'm
definitely using this profile on Linux with Mozilla Suite since, at
least, 2002. Could it be that the FIPS tail comes from that old ages?

Thanks a lot for all your help.
