My SeaMonkey profile is a little over 10GB with some files going back

news.eternal-september.org, etc., etc.
I typically do not use Thunderbird, but keep it active in Windows and
Linux in order to test and/or use as an alternate. Here is how I set
it up so the it closely mirrored my SeaMonkey (I'll assume you use
Windows from your headers, so I'll skip linux):

save the file & close notepad (sorry some of these instructions are
simplistic as I know you know to do this, but others that are not so
experienced might want to also give this a try so bear with me Smith) :-)

Hope that helps. If nothing else you've got a near mirror Thunderbird
alternate without touching your SeaMonkey profile (or it's backed up
profile).

(as a PS: I do basically the same on linux to set up TB there as well -
only I usually grsync the SeaMonkey profile from Windows to linux first)
Useful to know about -- thanks for contributing that.
My working setup is actually somewhat similar. I have 3 desktop systems --
the primary one is Windows, but I also have a Linux installation, plus some
number of VMs. And yes, I use multiple profiles in Seamonkey, Thunderbird and
Firefox, for testing and alternate access.
Going a step further -- for my Linux installations (all Ubuntu or Mint), my
Seamonkey instances are taken from Ubuntuzilla, since Ubuntu has abandoned
Seamonkey.
Fedora has not abandoned /seamonkey/ but /Fedora20/ uses an old version of
/seamonkey/, version *2.33.1*
but /fedora/ supports vivaldi and chrome
I have a strong preference for running stuff from package, over doing my own
compiles. I'm inclined to believe that Ubuntuzilla probably won't do any
Seamonkey updates until there's something that comes down the release channel.
Are there any other options for getting a trustworthy .deb package build,
other than doing it myself?
Maybe this is the incentive I need to learn to create my own .deb from source
code. Years ago, I figured out how to build sendmail RPMs, but that was a
lot of years ago. And when I moved from a RedHat environment into Debian
systems, I never found a need to learn how to build packages...
