Re: what screwed up mozilla and seamonkey?

Running seamonkey, the first symptom I noticed was that my WebDeveloper

I quit seamonkey and fired up the debian installed mozilla. Now the
WebDeveloper toolbar was missing.

I logged out of gnome and now when I run either mozilla or seamonkey not
only is the WebDeveloper toolbar missing the main menubar is missing.
The only menubar that shows has only 'Home' and 'Bookmarks'.

Fortunately, FireFox still works fine but I'd rather use seamonkey.

Any ideas as to what happened and more importantly, how to fix it?

(I'm running 'testing', updated daily.)


I am also running testing, and may have run into the same thing yesterday.

I upgraded my firefox to 1.5 via tarball and the webdeveloper toolbar
(which I had installed from synaptic) missing (not grayed out) from the
browser.  It had also vanished from the package list in synaptic.
I did not have anything else disappear from firefox, but then I didn't
have any other extensions installed.

So, I learned that that package is not in testing anymore (old name
mozilla-firefox-webdeveloper), but is in unstable (as firefox-webdeveloper)
because the current version of it wants firefox 1.5 which is not in
testing yet.  So, I took the plunge and followed the instructions here:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-default-version

which I found on this list a few days ago.  I got my toolbar back, and
don't seem to have hosed my system, so I must have done something right.
