However, for some reason or another the cybercriminal behind this attack has chosen to limit the scope of the vulnerability. Using browser headers, the exploit checks both the Firefox version and the operating system used. According to Mozilla, the underlying flaw is present in both Firefox 3.5 and 3.6, but only recent versions of 3.6 were targeted by JS_NINDYA.A. In addition, if the user is running newer versions of Windows (such as Vista, Windows 7, Server 2008, and Server 2008 R2), the exploit will not be triggered either.

The profile manager is smart enough to realize that it should use the existing profile in that location, rather than creating a new profile in that location. I tried that today. I copied the profiles straight from the cloned drive to the appropriate folder in Win 7. Started SM, told it to create a new profile with the name of the profile I ad copied - SM created NEW profiles with the same name but a different random number sequence in front of the name. SM doesn't need to have the random number sequence in the profiles location, I think it a bit of a security measure. With-in SM, go to Tools-Switch Profiles-Manage Profiles-Create Profile, give it a distinctive name, then on that screen click on Choose Folder, and find where you saved the old profiles location then select one level above that, so that the profile is a sub-folder of where you tell SM to look. i.e. If your profile files are in the directory C:\Personal\Internet\old_one\profile location, you would tell SM to look in C:\Personal\Internet\old_one HTH -- Daniel To get return e-mail address remove nospam. from address line From Uncle John's Bathroom Reader, 16th Edition Amazing Anagrams Public Relations == Crap, built on lies Marriage == a grim era ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Both have SM 2.0.8. When I do this, I first close SeaMonkey on the old computer, and copy the entire profile folder (e.g. salt.profilename) to the new computer. Then I use the profile manager on the new computer to create a new profile with the same profile name and use Choose Folder to navigate to the copied profile. The profile manager is smart enough to realize that it should use the existing profile in that location, rather than creating a new profile in that location. I tried that today. I copied the profiles straight from the cloned drive to the appropriate folder in Win 7. Started SM, told it to create a new profile with the name of the profile I ad copied - SM created NEW profiles with the same name but a different random number sequence in front of the name. SM doesn't need to have the random number sequence in the profiles location, I think it a bit of a security measure. With-in SM, go to Tools-Switch Profiles-Manage Profiles-Create Profile, give it a distinctive name, then on that screen click on Choose Folder, and find where you saved the old profiles location then select one level above that, so that the profile is a sub-folder of where you tell SM to look. i.e. If your profile files are in the directory C:\Personal\Internet\old_one\profile location, you would tell SM to look in C:\Personal\Internet\old_one HTH I'll try that. Is Moz Backup a good alternative to exporting and importing profiles between 2 PCs? Also, I can't seem to find the command line switches to use the migration wizard. I really do appreciate all the help folks! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I chose the copied folder itself (e.g. profilename.salt), not its parent folder. I was actually copying a profile from a Windows 7 machine to an XP machine, but I do not see that would make any difference -- David Wilkinson ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
