I multi-boot diferent configurations of Debian 8 and 9 - at least 2 of each. I use SeaMonkey available at https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ . I move between configurations sereral times a day. I have a solution which works for me. Although I know of purists who say "Don't do that" ;/ I suspect a similar a similar scheme should work with a VM. [I avoid VM's more than you avoid multi-boot ;] I have a partition whose label is "common". The relevant fstab entry is: LABEL=common /usr/local/common ext4 defaults 0 0 I invoke SeaMonkey with: /usr/local/common/seamonkey/seamonkey It looks for profiles.ini in: /home/richard/.mozilla/seamonkey The directory structure is richard@stretch-2nd:/usr/local/common$ tree -d -L 1 * from old stretch ├── Desktop └── Documents Misc notes mytemporary └── WordPress info seamonkey ├── chrome ├── components ├── defaults ├── dictionaries ├── extensions ├── icons ├── isp ├── profiles └── searchplugins 12 directories richard@stretch-2nd:/usr/local/common$
