169127 - Losing Profiles

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Nadim R. Habra]

Ever since I installed Netscape 7, I am unable to run Mozilla without creating a
new profile every time.  This happened with Mozilla 1.0.1 and 1.1, which I just
downloaded.  Needless to say, this is very annoying and I stopped using Mozilla
- which is a shame, because Netscape 7 still has some problems...

Thanks.

>Mozilla without creating a new profile every time.

What happends if you run mozilla with your old profile ?
Why do you not create your own profile for mozilla (1 profile for NS7 and one
for Mozilla?)

I cannot run Mozilla with the old profile because it says 'profile in use,
create another' (or something to that effect).
 
So, I create a new profile, use Mozilla OK once or twice, go to Netscape 7, back
to Mozilla but the profile is gone.

Is Netscape 7 running in turbo mode? (eg is netscape 7 visible in the task tray?)

also check task manager for a netscp process running.
sounds like N7 is using a profile and locking is preventing using same profile
in Mozilla (see bug 76431)

cannot reproduce here  - reporter, please try suggestion in comment1.  If you
want to have same profile (mail etc) I can send you some instructions for
copying a profile

Sorry about not responding.  Disabling the 'turbo/quicklaunch' did the trick.

Thanks.
