Yes, that makes sense. Vanguard said something about cookies.

I did a little looking around:

Under: x:\mozilla\mozprofiles\mozilla\

I have two subdirectories:
Firefox
Profiles

Under the Firefox subdirectory I have:
\profiles\wygh5sej.default\cookies.txt

In that file is vanguard information (and this is the one that works).

Under the Profiles subdirectory I have:
\sshapiro\ukhqpxlw.slt\cookies.txt

In that file there is no vanguard information. I am sure that is the cause
of the problem.

Is there a way to fix the Seamonkey profile to work like the Firefox
profile, without screwing up my Seamonkey information?

Thanks,
Sandy
