reset preferences

Post by shakushinnen »

Hi,
Is there a way of resetting SeaMonkey's preferences? My map links are opening in a small section on the side of my page and I'm hoping that resetting the preferences will solve the problem.
Thanks,
...... john

Try creating a new profile and use that new profile and check whether issue still exists. You may need to migrate to new profile

Hi vazhavandan,
Good idea. Yes...... the map links give me a full page map with the new profile.
It's probably one of my settings then?
Any thoughts?

close Seamonkey
{most important step}Backup old profile folder first{most important step}
Location of profile folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_ ... eaMonkey_2
copy the contents as per requirement to new profile from old one and start using new profile
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_ ... eaMonkey_2 (one correction in article is you need to get the latest bookmarks from <profileflder>/bookmarkbackups/) and import bookmarks using boomarks manager(ctrl+b)==>Tools==>restore from file ==> choose bookmarks-<file name>.json

Hi,
Alright..... I think I've figured this thing out.
The problem seems to be that when the "minimum font size" (in preferences) is set higher than 17, Kijiji's map links 'view map', open in a small section on the right side of the page, and not the entire page. If I use 18 I get the small map. If I use 17, I get the large map.
Try it yourself. Here's a link to one of Kijiji's adds ....... http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell ... redAdZtrue
I vaguely remember having a similar problem a couple of years ago, but seem to recall that the magic font size then was 15.
Thank you all for your help.
...... john
