Master Password in new SeaMonkey 2.53.1
When launching new SeaMonkey 2.53.1 I will be prompted two times to enter the master password for the security device. This was not the case in the previous version. Moreover, I am only using one security the device, the software devicie. For the Generic Crypto Services I have not set a password. Any explanation and how could I overcome this since in the long term it is laboriously, tedious and cumbersome to enter every launch of Seamonkey two times the same pw?

But unfortunately, I did not remove the master password before upgrading to SeaMonkey 2.53.1 Should I do an uninstallation and a new one?

I have made the same experience with the migration of passwords regarding the password database files. And fortunately I have access to my passwords. My question and issues is that when launching Seamonkey I am requested two times to enter the password, i.e. the window to enter the password pops up two times. Even although I have deleted cert8.db and key3.db. Reinhard ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

But even this did not resolve the problem of two prompts for the pw. What I observed is that I have to enter the pw only the first time and press on the second prompt just enter without filling in a pw. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

But unfortunately it makes it worse. In add-ins disabled mode I have to enter the pw definitively two times. When I pres just ok the second time it prompts again for the pw and does not open seamonkey before I enter the pw again. Since it works fine before 2.53.1 it seems to be a bug.

How to set Seamonkey as the default e-mail app/tool/client in Windows 10
In the versions previous to 2.3.5.1 it was possible to choose and set Seamonkey as the default e-mail app/tool/client in Windows 10. But when opening the default apps settings in Windows Seamonkey mail is not available anymore. Is there any workaround?
