Hi,
I just bought a new computer and "kind of" know how to move Seamonkey
over to my new computer with a couple of problems that I need your
help with.
1) I am trying to find the "Mozilla" folder so I can copy and paste it
to my new "Mozilla" folder so that when I open seamonkey it will
hopefully see the new info there and open it like it was set up on my
old computer (note: I should be able to do this since I have both
computer recognizing each other in a network)
The problem is that I find the Mozilla folder on my old computer here:
C:DocumentsAndSettings/Figen(name of computer
Folder)/ApplicationData/Mozilla <===here is where the profiles are
kept and that is specifically what I should be hunting for to try to
install into my new Seamonkey set up.
But I can't find any of the above on the C drive of the new computer I
click on it and get this:
C:DocumentsAndSettings/Adminstrator
or
C:DocumentsAndSettings/AllUsers
or
C:DocumentsAndSettings/User
I "think" I have exhaustively searched the above three folders but
can't find the profiles area.
On my new computer I did a "search" for profiles, application data,
and Mozilla and didn't find the folder. I do have a working copy of
the seamonkey program installed on the new computer so I know it
(profile folder) has to be there someplace but it beats the hell out
of me where it is.
please help,
joseph
thats because when you set up your new computer, you didn't create a
Figen. Just go ahead and create that directory, and all the directories
below it, then put the SM profile into that, and it should work. Also,
make sure you also have the file registry.dat file from the old
computer. It will tell SM where to find the profile.
the other option is to create a new profile wherever SM
places it. Then put your old profile into that. Then
open the file prefs.js and change:
C:DocumentsAndSettings/Figen(name of computer
Folder)/ApplicationData/Mozilla
to the new location.
