Firefox will not use your Seamonkey profile. That is by design. You can copy the contents of your Seamonkey profile to the default profile for Firefox. Locations of profiles vary by operating systems and even versions. You can type cd %UserProfile% or $home depending on your command shell and operation system. Search for default.(some random letters and numbers) directory in the Firefox user directory. Replace it with the contents of your default.(some random string of letters and numbers) directory. Only do this while Firefox is not running. When you start Firefox, you will have to adjust your preferences. Some Seamonkey preferences will produce unexpected behaviors in Firefox. You will also have to install all new add-ons.
