Migrating from Seamonkey to Firefox and Thunderbird
John
Are there any installation pitfalls I should know about before I do
this? It is of utmost importance that neither my profile nor my old
emails be lost.
Regards,
John

Hi John,
Install both. Open them to verify your profile info has been picked up.
Here is more info on the profile & migrating:

Hi Terry,
Thanks for your reply. After installing both Firefox and Thunderbird,
can I then safely uninstall Seamonkey?

Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey are three separate programs that
share no data. Installing one or two should not affect the other(s).
One thing I do recommend is that you don't import anything at first.
Give Firefox and Thunderbird a trial run, and see if you actually want
to keep them. Then if you decide to keep them, you can use the import
wizard.

stored and make a backup of the profile to a 7z file with the super fast
rate mode of comp.
Install Thunderbird and Firefox and the import the data(bookmarks only
to firefox, emails setting to Thunderbird)
After getting running TB and Fx make a backup profile to a 7z file with
the super fast rate mode of comp.
If you make a backup, you made a safeguard upon disaster with extensions
, remade it with mayor release of TB of Fx.
For firefox newer install Yahoo Toolbar, for me i was get with a floppy
scan browsing the bookmark until i restored the profile.

I don't want to state the obvious, but back up your seamonkey profile and make
it readonly before you do anything.
