Is this updating from an older 2.53.x to 2.53.3? If so, and if you have
a language pack installed, that could be the problem causing the blank
panes. There's some issue with the version compatibility indicated in
the older 2.53.x language packs, so SeaMonkey doesn't realise they're
incompatible with the newer version and automatically disable them. I
gather from previous discussion here that the language packs for 2.53.3
should have this fixed - but that only helps when upgrading FROM 2.53.3
to a newer version.
Start in safe mode (`seamonkey --safe-mode` from the command-line if you
can't do it via the UI) using your original profile. Then open Tools >
Add-ons Manager, select "Languages" on the left side and remove any
language pack there. You can then install the corresponding language
pack for the new version (at the bottom of the page at
<https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.53.3> for 2.53.3).
I've created a new profile and it is working
well. Now all I need is my bookmarks and saved passwords.
Trouble is, I'm not sure which files I need to restore from the backup.
I _think_ I need places.sqlite and logins.json, but I'm not sure, nor am
I sure if I need anything else. Long time since I last had to do this...
Can anyone tell me what files I need to copy over? Thanks.
As above, it might be possible to fix your existing profile, saving the
need to port anything to a new profile.
