Is this updating from an older 2.53.x to 2.53.3? If so, and if you
have a language pack installed, that could be the problem causing the
blank panes. There's some issue with the version compatibility
indicated in the older 2.53.x language packs, so SeaMonkey doesn't
realise they're incompatible with the newer version and automatically
disable them. I gather from previous discussion here that the
language packs for 2.53.3 should have this fixed - but that only helps
when upgrading FROM 2.53.3 to a newer version.
Yes, upgrade from 2.53.2.
Start in safe mode (`seamonkey --safe-mode` from the command-line if
you can't do it via the UI) using your original profile. Then open
Tools > Add-ons Manager, select "Languages" on the left side and
remove any language pack there. You can then install the
corresponding language pack for the new version (at the bottom of the
page at <https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.53.3> for 2.53.3).
Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, removed the english_UK language
pack, removed Adblock+ and the old pdf reader, disabled a few other
things. Unfortunately, when I restarted in normal mode, no change at all
- still a blank pane. The command I use should have started the mail
client, but it came up with the calendar instead, but nothing working.
So for the moment, I'm back with the new profile. I do seem to have
managed to get the saved passwords migrated. Well, all but one of them
for some reason.
I've created a new profile and it is working well. Now all I need is
my bookmarks and saved passwords.
Trouble is, I'm not sure which files I need to restore from the
backup. I _think_ I need places.sqlite and logins.json, but I'm not
sure, nor am I sure if I need anything else. Long time since I last
had to do this...
Can anyone tell me what files I need to copy over? Thanks.
As above, it might be possible to fix your existing profile, saving
the need to port anything to a new profile.
:( So far, no go with the old profile. Still need to know if there is
any way of bringing the old bookmarks back.
