All of the information from my 1.1.18 Mozilla folder transferred correctly, including my Master Password. It's just that SM seems to be asking for it at random - this was also a problem for me with SM 1.1.18.Well,I use the Password Manager quite frequently, and I have never set up a Master Password. Password Manager works just fine without it....interesting...I've never used Password Manager without a Master Password. Without a Master, I'd think anyone that opened your browser could launch the Password Manager and read all of your passwords. Not a very secure way to operate, IMO...I submit that not all users NEED a Master Password for ordinary password protection. My computer is not accessible to anyone but my wife and I, and it's as safe as the lock on my front door!
...I stay in the habit...particularly with a laptop - a laptop could get stolen. Not to mention that I work in an environment where such capability is an enterprise plus, laptop or not - I often recommend Seamonkey to colleagues specifically for/because of this feature.
BTW - I notice I no longer have a Preference choice for usage and/or strength of encryption vise obscuring when storing sensitive data - I assume it's 128 bit, and by default now?..
SM 1.1.18 has been great all this time, but my brand new 2.0 is a PITA. It didn't transfer all my messages over in the mail client. All messages stop in late July of '09. I had a LOT more than that, but right now they're missing. The annoyance of missing THREE month's messages overcomes my being able to enjoy the newness of 2.0. So, I'm back using 1.1.18 instead... keith whaley mid-'07 iMac OS 10.6.1
So far, it looks like all of my information transferred (including my saved mail - dating back to 2003) with the exception of having to rebuild a couple Newsgroup accounts/subscriptions.
I can live with that. I've updated my MacBook Pro (10.6.1) first, and will play with that until I figure it's ok to upgrade my other three machines...but I'm not discouraged so far.
I may go so far as to copy my working Profile from my MacBook onto my other machines vise letting SM auto-transfer them, though...we'll see.
