how to setup seamonkey on new computer ?
Ron, it is the normal practise, here, to ask your question with-in the
message ... not just as the Subject: of your post, so I've copied your
subject into your message.
To solve your problem, have a look at...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall
and then copy your old profile over the top of your new profile.
HTH
Very interesting!!!! I'll be glad to use SeaMonkey with a profile that
I've built over the two last years on a laptop. How could I use that
profile on a new desktop. Laptop and desktop are running under
Windows 7.
I did that 9 years ago with MozBackup but I don't remember how to do
it!! Any suggestions???? I have a portable hard disk also that I use to
transfer files from one computer to the another, but to manage this with
an old Profile seems a bit difficult!!! I did it years ago and I don't
remember today how to do it. Thanks in advance for any advice
Best Regards

Easy, even moved profiles form Windows to Linux. In old system go to if
Windows:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles
Profile folder will be [SALT].default where [SALT] is random 8
characters. Note the name and copy to a thumbdrive is an easy way to
transfer. For this example I will call it: *original.default*
On new system go to
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles
There may be a default profile there already when you installed
SeaMonkey I will call it for this example: *blank.default*
Now copy your *original.default* to this folder
Move up to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey and edit profile.ini and point to
your moved profile
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
; comment out the blank profile
;Path=Profiles/blank.default
; add line to your moved original
Path=Profiles/original.default
Save and start SeaMonkey and enjoy.
Why edit profile.ini??
1. With SeaMonkey closed, copy old profile (the bit after the Random
characters) onto your USB drive.
2. With SeaMonkey closed, copy old profile onto new computer at the same
level as the new profile (i.e. below the Random Character drive level).
3. Start SeaMonkey, got to Tools->Switch Profiles->Manage
Profiles->Create Profile, and, on the "Completing the Create Profile
Wizard" screen, give it a profile name then, on the same screen, select
"Choose Folder..." and point to where you just copied it.
Job done!
