I go back to the Netscape 4.? days.
Over the years I have done many tweaks to prefs.js and
user.js. Some were so I could locally duplicate things I had
set up for two visually impaired users - neither no longer
local. There are also unknown modifications done for
forgotten reasons.
As you might imagine some sites do not display well ;/
I want to preserve everything email or USENET related and
all my browser bookmarks.
Where should I be looking for reading material?
Thank you.
I just caught spelling error in subject line.
Would it be worthwhile to submit a wishlist bug to have
spell checker work on subject line?
It was suggested that I look at MozBackup
[http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/]
That does a nice backup/restore of your profile - or major
sections if desired.
It is not intended to address my problem of housecleaning my
prefs.js file.
One suggestion was "... start by creating a new, blank
profile, so you can get a "blank" user.js and prefs.js .
Then get a file-compare tool and run a comparison with your
current ones."
I generally followed that advice after reading
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_manager
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries

I renamed prefs.js to BACKUPprefs.js .
Started SeaMonkey and used Edit->Preferences to conform to
my wishes.
Shut down SeaMonkey.
Rebooted my computer.
Created an empty user.js in the appropriate profile directory
Edited that user.js by adding all the lines from
BACKUPprefs.js beginning
user_pref("mail.
OR
user_pref("mailnews.
OR
user_pref("news.
Started SeaMonkey.
Shut down SeaMonkey.
Deleted user.js .
