SM 2.48 PROBLEM (Mac)

[DanRaisch]

I just downloaded SM 2.48 but every time I try to open an e mail it crashes!!

How can I correct this?

[DanRaisch]

Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

I haven't tried this yet! I'll try it now!

[king60]

I just tried the Safe Mode and no change. When I click on an e mail to open it it crashes!

[wwe]

Also when I go to MAIL & NEWSGROUPS settings it crashed almost immediately!

[wwe]

Now I'm back to where every time I try to open SM it doesn't open but crashes immediately!

What is going on here??

[DanRaisch]

It sounds as though you need to remove the program and reinstall it. You should backup the profile before doing that -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup

OK I'll try that but are there any good programs that will back it up?

Since I can't even open it how can I back it up Dan?

You should be able to find the profile folder inside ~/Library/Application Support/SeaMonkey/Profiles

[wwe]

OK but is this the same thing?

I went to MOZILLA.Profiles>default>

and came up with these:

abook.mab
bookmarks.html
Cache
chrome
cookies.txt
default-invite.rdf
default-messages-icq.rdf
default-messages.rdf
history.dat
history.mab
localstore.rdf
mimeTypes.rdf
panels.rdf
search.rdf
XUL FastLoad File

And coped them

Is that the same thing as what you said?

Actually I think this is what I should copy:

4w6sv9pk.default

So if this is correct and I have copied this then should I go to SEA MONKEY in APPLICATION SUPPORT and just DELETE it?

If so then what do I do?

Thanks for all your help. Sorry for all the questions but this is the first time I've done this!

Yep, that's correct.

I guess you could move that SeaMonkey folder in Application Support to the trash, then uninstall and reinstall SeaMonkey and see if it runs.

Good idea Dan. Will try it now. Thanks again.

[wwe]

I tried this but that didn't help either. But maybe I didn't do something correct. When you say UNINSTALL SM I just moved it to the TRASH and then tried to download 2.48. Is that correct?

So I now have the original SM in trash.

Any more suggestions?

[wwe]

i again Dan

I was just wondering if there is any kind of a bug with the 2.48 SM as I had no problem with it before today when it became 2.48

I am on the 10.12.6 Mac IOS Sierra

I just went back to the 2.46 and WAS able to download it but I now need to add my backup, correct? How would I do that? Maybe this will work!
