I've been searching for *published* profile migration instructions.
I found
https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey:New_for_2.0#Profile_Migration
which says:
> The profile migration dialog will come up on the first start of a
> SeaMonkey 2.x on your machine. It will allow you to migrate your existing
> settings into a profile called "default".
>
> If you wish to migrate more than one profile or set the profile name, run
> SeaMonkey with the following arguments (it needs to be run twice):
>
> -createProfile <ProfileName>
> -P <ProfileName> -migration
>
> Note: spaces in <ProfileName> are NOT permitted with -createProfile.
> Instead, use -ProfileManager and create the profiles using the GUI.

That URL was *last updated 28 October 2009*!
Is the content still valid?

TIA
