| === Mozilla will not start ===
| | #redirect [[Standard diagnostic - SeaMonkey]] |

| This can be caused by any number of reasons (corrupt profile, incompatible extension or a computer crash). If you have tried to create a new profile and feel that a completely new and clean install is required this is how you should do it:
| |
| | |
| . Backup your [[Profile Folder | Profile]]
| |
| | |
| . Start mozilla and move any mail in incoming folders to a local folder (important)
| |
| | |
| . Uninstall Mozilla
| |
| | |
| . Delete the GRE directory (folder) (important)
| |
| (C:\Program Files\Common Files\mozilla.org\GRE - in Windows)
| |
| | |
| . Delete the Mozilla installation directory (software folder)
| |
| | |
| . Reinstall Mozilla and configure it
| |
| | |
| . Copy the files back from your backup [[Profile Folder | Profile]] to the new profile
| |
| (prefs.js and/or user.js should not be copied since the old paths are stored in there and if Mozilla is not working correctly chances are that the might be corrupt)
