Restore javascript from back-up
Today a java update borked my SeaMonkey 2.26.1 javascript (yes, I know: Java/Javascript, two different things). By contrast FF Palemoon came through it OK. Even after uninstalling java completely this condition still remains, and System Restore couldn't revert me past the point of the original java upgrade. A SeaMonkey 2.26.1 overinstall did not correct the problem either. When I created a new test profile, javascript worked fine, meaning the corrupted file(s) had to be in the profile folder rather than the program folder. Since I back up the profile every week, if possible I'd like to replace only the specific file(s) that are corrupted, rather than replace the entire profile with a week old back-up. What would be the files to try? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I've been using SeaMonkey since the very early days. Usually Firefox was installed on the same machine. My subjective impression after having this happen on a fair number of occasions is that javascript in SeaMonkey is noticeably more fragile than it is in Firefox. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
