The problems were all in the "upgrading". Took a few iterations to
straighten that out.
Anyway, 1.1.19 is simply the best version of SM I've ever used
from a
user/features/bugs standpoint - I miss it on the machines I've
"upgraded".
1.1.19 only has one bug that annoys the *snot* out of me, and
that's
the
Master Password problem that's been plaguing me since
1.1.16-something.
Even the Profile manager works, which is more than I can say for
the
latest 2.x.x series.
Ah, yes, I remember, now, you mentioning that MP problem before.
Since
I honestly don't even know what an MP is, I've never run into that.
If you have your Mac OS X installation disk, insert it and look in
the
menus. You can find the master password there and change it.
No the Mater password he is referring to is in SM you set that in SM
>preferences > Privacy & Security > Master Password. Personally I
wouldn't dare go without a Master Password and I am the only one that
uses my computer. I am a nut for security. One reason I haven't had
much
in the way of Malware so I don't find it a Bug for me.
so what does the MP "do"? I've /never/ used it afaik.

It is the Master key for the encrypted storage of all of the Passwords
you save/store in the Password Manager. Without setting a Master
Password all an attacker need do is log into your account, open the
Password Manager, and start reading them all...
Well, they'd have to break into my house first, in which case they'd
probably be more interested in cash, credit cards, and personal
property, than using SeaMonkey on a eight year old iMac.
But, I don't store passwords anyway, except for the mail server.
GW
...then why bother updating for *any* "security" update?
lemming, I guess....but obviously there are no security updates on stuff
this old.
GW
...yeah - the security updates are all x.y.z updates. Which is the
usual excuse for no user fixes being included in them. So by your
philosophy one shouldn't bother with x.y.z updates - only the x.y ones.
But how you manage your install - no stored passwords - is also a reason
I use multiple Profiles, and why having the Profile Manager broken is
annoying.
