Post #89,212 by jake123 3/18/03 5:11:25 PM Reply	mozilla_home is your friend I have the mozilla_home env var set; it points to my home directory. Moz created a tree under it to hold the user info. When I upgrade, I can zap the program tree, unzip the new version, and be off, with all my settings and email intact. --\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \r\n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \r\n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\r\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
Post #89,213 by admin 3/18/03 5:17:55 PM Reply	The problem with that... ... is that often the user setting formats change between releases. The first thing I usually get asked when I file a bug: "did you start with a clean profile?" Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Mind you, I do back it up when I'm doing a new one... I'm not crazy. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
