The C: partition is where all of my work is; in My Documents.
Why would I keep backups on a D: partition? I'm not understanding
the reasoning behind this. Isn't the whole purpose of external hd's is
for Mrimg backups?

The bookmark toolbar/bookmark menu still does not show as it normally
does.

We can't move forward until we resolve this. Should I Import bookmarks
or click Getting Started?

We already did the Helper.exe for Sea Monkey on the 780 because it wasn't
in Programs and Features and I lost the bookmarks right afterwards.

On the 8500 I just need to click the new version but in both cases they did
not install correctly and we'll have to see whether they revert to the old version
or install the new version. Correct?
However because Sea Monkey threw up a loop by not installing correctly before
I do anything on the 8500 I want to clone it. I'm not taking any chances.

So let's concentrate on bringing the bookmark menu back on the 780 which we
should be able to do if not the backspace key. Then we can move from there.

What do you think?

You only lose the Bookmarks, if the program created a brand new profile.
It shouldn't do that. It's supposed to migrate the existing Profile
forward, keeping the users information intact.

The key area, is right around the profiles.ini file in the
Seamonkey entry. You do the search with Agent Ransack and
locate the "profiles.ini". There will be one for Seamonkey.
In Agent Ransack, right click the "profiles.ini" in the
search result, select the entry at the top which is supposed
to open the item in File Explorer. Right next to profiles.ini
in File Explorer, will be the Profiles folder. The dates on
the Profiles folder contents, should be older dates, not todays
date. It should not need to create a new folder in there,
as it did not remove the old one via the usage of Helper.exe .

profiles.ini
Profiles === folder is at same level as profiles.ini
ABCD1234.default === The dates on folders like this, should
EFGH5678.something not be todays date. THese should have been
created some time ago.

This is why I was trying to show you how to copy the two
particular folders (the ABCD1234.default in "Roaming" and "Local"),
so they could not get lost. And could be used in an emergency.

Now, very recently, I showed you how to use the "Customize" for
the Overflow Menu, to add things there. Adding "Bookmarks Menu"
icon in the Customize editor, then clicking "Done", should have
results in the Overflow Menu gaining an additional icon.
That's what I would be doing right now.

I don't understand why the blasted thing isn't working properly.
Firefox has a .jar file with "decorations" in it, and that's
probably where some of the elements are stored. Seamonkey should
have the same thing (Seamonkey code is an instance in some way,
of Firefox code, but with differences). This material resides
in Program Files somewhere, and is supposed to be refreshed
when the program is Upgraded or Fresh Installed.

If you want to clone and make an exact copy of a disk,
that's perfectly OK with me. These are your setups,
and if that makes them easier to understand, then
go for it.

Using a Sharpie, write on a smooth area of the metal
casing of each drive, what it is. "Original" for the
good copy. "Clone 5/28/2021" or whatever, on the brand
new drive. Sharpie comes off the metal, with a bit of
rubbing alcohol, but you don't wipe towards the paper
label or it'll get stained. You mark the metal in
a way so it can be easily cleaned later (without
smudging anything else). You could use PostIt notes
if they would stay on there, but I just use Sharpie.
