But now, in a moment of weakness (foolishness?), I've bought an
iPhone, and it appears that Apple doesn't like PDF help files--it
prefers tutorials in *.mov format.  So I gingerly tried again to
install the latest version of QuickTime Player (7.6.2).  To my
pleasant surprise, it actually presented an installation option for
file and MIME type associations.  For both, I deselected *everything*
except Apple QT movies (*.mov).

And, to my pleasant surprise, it does not seem to have seized any
file associations on the computer.  BUT when I ran SeaMonkey and went
to my twotonbaker.com site and tried to play mp3 files there, I
discovered that both SeaMonkey (and, for what it's worth, MSIE) were
using QT as the default player for mp3 files, instead of Windows
Media Player, which is what I prefer.

Thinking I could undo this within SeaMonkey, I went to
  Edit>Preferences/Navigator>Helper apps, where I found
  audio/mpeg = .mp3 = open using default

Oddly, it still showed WMP as the default.  So I tried to edit that
entry to set/reset default as WMP, but it reported, "SM can handle
this type internally.  For such types, a helper app will only be
invoked if the server requests external handling."  I went ahead and
made the choice, but this didn't change anything at twotonbaker.com: 
mp3s still played by QT.


So I got deviously clever:  I pulled out my seldom-used Notebook and
uninstalled SeaMonkey, including deleting the Mozilla directory under
docs&  settings.  I then installed QuickTime, being careful not to
let it seize any file associations.  And I checked:  WMP was still
the default app for playing mp3 files.

Only then did I reinstall SeaMonkey.  And to my surprise and horror,
the new installation insisted on opening mp3 files in QuickTime.

What in the world is going on?  QT can't be rewriting SeaMonkey to
tell it to use QT as the mp3 player, because SeaMonkey wasn't there
when I installed QT on the notebook.  And SeaMonkey isn't getting the
mp3=QT association from Windows because it's not there.

I am completely flummoxed.
You were almost there I guess. But the plugins are installed into the 
program directory, not the profile-directory in documents&settings.

So after uninstalling SM make sure to not have a plugins directory
with a quicktime plugin left there in the Seamonkey program directory.

Alternatively you can try to find all QT-plugin-files by opening 
about:plugins (via the address-bar where you type things like 
www.google.com etc.) in a Seamonkey Browser window.

Have a look for all Quicktime Entries there. They always name a
filename below their headline.
It's very likely that they are named npqtplugin.dll and
npqtplugin*.dll (where * is a number from 2 to 5 for example). So find
all QT-filenames in your about:plugin-screen, let them search on your
harddrive and delete all of them. That should wipe out all Quicktime
plugins. Usually the files are located in X:\Program
Files\Seamonkey\plugins (where X: is the driveletter of your
windows-partition, C: on most computers), mine is in
D:\Progs\Seamonkey\Plugins for example. I guess you know where you
installed your SM to ;-) kind regards

Martin,
Thanks for detailed and logical advice, but it didn't work.

First, there was no npqt*.dll file under Seamonkey\plugins, so I tried 
the "about:plugins" trick, which reported that I had QuickTime Plug-in 
7.6.2 installed with the filename npqtplugin.dll.


A search of the C: drive for that file discovered two copies, in
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\PLUGINS
and  C:\Program Files\Quicktime\Plugins

I deleted both--and nothing changed!  (I also searched for npqt*.* to 
make sure there wasn't a variant lurking somewhere else.)  Both Internet 
Explorer and SeaMonkey still insist on playing MP3 files with QuickTime.  
As I mentioned in my first note, Windows Media Player is the program 
associated with MP3 in Windows, so what in the heck is QT doing to force 
the browsers to use it?


Got a QuickTime applet in the Windows Control Panel? Configure it there. 
Browser plug-ins and File Type Associations are two different things.

Get rid of the Adobe Acrobat plug-in so the browser will prompt you to

Why does everything stop if a pdf file is loading?

[DoctorBill]

Once in a while when I click on some site with info,
everything stops, a "tab" will form and it turns out
to be Adobe Reader downloading a pdf file.

Why does the browser lock up ?

Can't stop it, can't move out of it - I have to set there
and wait.

BTW - I am on Dial-Up, so the wait can be interminable.

Is there some way to make SM 1.1 not lock up when pdf files
are incoming ?

You don't always get a warning on some web sites.
If I see the site is going to send a pdf file I can refrain.

The College where I teach uses Outlook Express.

It comes into SeaMonkey, but loses some of it's functions apparently.

If I go into Internet Explorer (ugh !) JUST TO GO INTO THE COLLEGE'S 
OUTLOOK EXPRESS, then close it down, am I likely to fall prey to the

holes, etc in IE and get my computer infected ?

Or does that happen only when you "surf" the web ?

SM (2.0beta1 here) tries to download the whole file before opening it.
IE8 does nearly the same, it offers to download instead of playing
directly. Maybe it's the site'S fault.


Your choices (based on Windows Media Format):

- Right-click on a Windows Media Link and select "Save target as" to
download the file and play it afterwards

- Right-click on a Windows Media link and select "copy link location" to
copy the address to the clipboard. Afterwards Start Windows Media Player
and select "File => Open URL" and paste it there. It will start
streaming the file.

- Open the preferences of SM and open the "Helper Applications" there.
Select the wIndows Media Audio and selct another action (e.g. download
or "always ask")
You may also want to check in about:plugins if your
Windows-Media-Player-Plugin is correctly installed/registered in

Hi Martin (and Chris),

Thanks again,

Hello Mort,

you need to open the Seamonkey addressbook-window just once and
then
close ALL seamonkey windows. It needs to be completely closed.

Afterwards you need to open the directory of your old
Seamonkey-profile and copy the abook.mab file. Then paste it
into the
new profile-folder.
All this is done within windows while Seamnkey is closed, 
not in

Seaonkey itself and not while Seamonkey is open as the files
would be
in use then.
Good luck!

Martin


Why don't you just google Mozilla Backup from Jasnapak? and
install it

CD, DVD
or however you want to get the backup file to another

restore it to the new computer?

Eric


This involves copying anyway, so it doesn't really matter if he
copies
a backup or the abook directly ;-P

Martin

Hi again,

I opened up and tried every "profile" on my hard drive, and 
could not

move the abook.mab to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried dragging,
to no
avail. I clicked on copy, but then paste was all grayed out. So
near and
yet so far. I have my e-mail set up so that as I send out a
message, its
address is automatically added to my SeaMonkey address book.
However, my
hundreds of important oldaddresses are still sitting there on my
h.d. in
narrative form.


I'm repeating myself but just to make things clear: you are not
supposed to drag it on your seamonkey addessbook. You are supposed
to drag/copy it from a folder to another folder in windows itsself
(from your old profile to your new profile).
This is just normal copying of a file, it does _not_ involve a
running seamonkey at that time. Have you done exactly that?
regards

Martin


Hi Martin,

I appreciate your help and patience. I did try to take your advice
re. old and new SeaMonkey profiles in Windows XP with SeaMonkey
closed. The closest I came is to find a "SeaMonkey Profile Manager"
which said:
Available Profiles:

default
Mort
Mort app
Mort app ff
Mort local ff

My usual user name is Mort. Right clicking gives nothing, and left
clicking on any of these just opens SeaMonkey. I simply cannot find
my profiles (old, new?) to copy the abook.mab to.As things are, the
old abook.mab file on my hard drive is in narrative form and thereby
almost useless. The current SeaMonkey Address Book has only about 30
recent addresses.

Thanks again.

Mort

P.S. For some reason, my laptop refuses to copy sent messages, to
this group only, to my sent folder, and gives my sender name as
invalid or similar. It works to all other recipients. Weird.


Yes it involves copying, but the interface is usually cleaner.

Mort,

If you back up all the profiles and transfer them, then you you
should have everything moved from one computer to the other.

What you are looking for is a file folder with .slz file extension,
however that changes from installation to installation, and for some
unknown reason, I've seen through out many newsgroups, the files
don't play well together.

I wish you luck in your future attempts.

Eric


and, of course, Mort, Eric meant the file extension to be .slt and the
changes he talks about are that the file name maybe something like
fxgjht5j.slt in one case and something like dsf67kgh.slt in the other
installation. No great problem.

Daniel

Hi Daniel and Eric,

Thanks again for the further help. I'll pursue it as per your
suggestions, and if not successful, I'll have to quit.

Mort


Have a look here: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/profilefaq/

Hi Martin,

Thanks. I've been to that site, but it did not help. I have an old

above subject.  I hope you your keep answers simple for this old timer.


I have routinely done so with no harm done in the past, with the 
following background so you understand what I'm doing and why:


I have two machines running the same OS and service pack (WinXP Pro 
SP3), and both SeaMonkey installations are configured the same way (same 
add-ons, same plug-ins, etc.). With both copies of Mozilla, er, 
SeaMonkey closed, I delete the \Mozilla folder on the target computer 
and copy the \Mozilla folder over from the source computer. When I 
launch SeaMonkey on the target, it comes up looking exactly like on the 
source, with exactly the same messages in exactly the same folders, 
exactly the same preferences, etc.


I do have one program that SM (like Mozilla before it) periodically 
forgets, and that's an FLV player. I sometimes have to go into the 
Helper Applications option and reselect it, but other than that 
everything works fine.


It's a poor man's way of synching the two machines -- I normally use my 
desktop for email and browsing, but when I go on a trip I "transfer" to 
my laptop. On my return, I reverse the procedure and the desktop acts as 
if /it/ went on the trip and handled all my correspondence.


I don't know how well this would work across operating systems -- it's 
possible some files or folders would be in different locations and SM 
couldn't find them on the target. But this is likely to affect only 
plug-ins, helper apps, etc. and not the SeaMonkey program itself.

Please elaborate. All I know about SQLite is that modern Geckos use it for
certain types of profile data. With FF2 and SM1 all I need do is copy a file
via a command prompt or script. How do I manage an equivalent feat with SM2
and FF3 without destroying the history component of the places.sqlite files

For many years I have set a specific bookmarks.html location in advance of

to bug 385077.

Exporting from FF is irrelevant to the thread, which is about using one 100%
SM1.1.x-managed bookmarks.html file as the sole basis for a multitude of
other profiles. I don't plan ever to copy bookmarks from any FF profile to
any other profile.

For more than 6 months now the SM devel versions have used places.sqlite

browser launching on it's own.  I have scanned for viruses, spy ware, 
and everything that could potentially cause this to happen.  I have read 
all of the possible problems and repairs online.  No one is reporting 
this, but I have it happening!  If there is not a browser open, 
Seamonkey opens one!  It just sits there open. Please let me know if 
anyone has reported this, and how to stop it from happening as there is 
nothing external to the browser that is causing this!


If you haven't already, you might want to search for and download a copy 
of "malwarebytes" and use that to search with. The computer tech I work 
with say it can find and root out malware that is designed to get around 
the AV/anti-spyware programs.

Have you changed how your desktop is displayed, like creating a webpage 
and having it as your desktop.  If so, and Seamonkey is your default 
browser, then Seamonkey is opening because it is set to display all 
.html.  This is just a possibility, I've not had this problem though.

The bookmarks are in a SQLite table so it is easy to work with them.

I don't think so, Firefox doesn't have it so I think SM probably
won't. Firefox 3.5 takes so long to launch, especially with lots of
add-ons & update checks happening, it would be nice to have it but I
don't think we'll see it any day soon (if ever). I haven't tried SM
2.x yet so I don't know how its load time is compared to SM 1.x or FF.

And even in SM 1.x, the Quick Launch has not worked properly for me in
a very long time (since 1.1.9 or so). It seems like there has always
been a number of users for whom it simply doesn't work for some reason
or another.

The quick start code does not exist in the Toolkit that SeaMonkey (and
Firefox and Thunderbird) now uses.

If the code from the Minimize-to-tray extension ever gets folded into
the Mozilla source tree, then we might be able to reimplement something
similar to Quick Start.

Hi Martin (and Chris),

I have the link, and tried hard to follow it, but I must be

something wrong. I tried dragging, transferring, etc., but I
cannot

then

non-functional.


I would be most grateful if either of you could walk me

steps that I must take to get these hundreds of addresses 
into my

SeaMonkey address book.

Thanks again,

Hello Mort,

you need to open the Seamonkey addressbook-window just once and
then
close ALL seamonkey windows. It needs to be completely closed.

Afterwards you need to open the directory of your old
Seamonkey-profile and copy the abook.mab file. Then paste it
into the
new profile-folder.
All this is done within windows while Seamnkey is closed, not in
Seaonkey itself and not while Seamonkey is open as the files
would be
in use then.
Good luck!

Martin

This involves copying anyway, so it doesn't really matter if he
copies
a backup or the abook directly ;-P

Martin

Hi again,

I opened up and tried every "profile" on my hard drive, and 
could not

move the abook.mab to my SeaMonkey address book. I tried dragging,
to no
avail. I clicked on copy, but then paste was all grayed out. So
near and
yet so far. I have my e-mail set up so that as I send out a
message, its
address is automatically added to my SeaMonkey address book.
However, my
hundreds of important oldaddresses are still sitting there on my
h.d. in
narrative form.


I'm repeating myself but just to make things clear: you are not
supposed to drag it on your seamonkey addessbook. You are supposed
to drag/copy it from a folder to another folder in windows itsself
(from your old profile to your new profile).
This is just normal copying of a file, it does _not_ involve a
running seamonkey at that time. Have you done exactly that?
regards

Martin


Hi Martin,

I appreciate your help and patience. I did try to take your advice
re. old and new SeaMonkey profiles in Windows XP with SeaMonkey
closed. The closest I came is to find a "SeaMonkey Profile Manager"
which said:
Available Profiles:

default
Mort
Mort app
Mort app ff
Mort local ff

My usual user name is Mort. Right clicking gives nothing, and left
clicking on any of these just opens SeaMonkey. I simply cannot find
my profiles (old, new?) to copy the abook.mab to.As things are, the
old abook.mab file on my hard drive is in narrative form and thereby
almost useless. The current SeaMonkey Address Book has only about 30
recent addresses.

Thanks again.

Mort

P.S. For some reason, my laptop refuses to copy sent messages, to
this group only, to my sent folder, and gives my sender name as
invalid or similar. It works to all other recipients. Weird.


Yes it involves copying, but the interface is usually cleaner.

Mort,

If you back up all the profiles and transfer them, then you you
should have everything moved from one computer to the other.

What you are looking for is a file folder with .slz file extension,
however that changes from installation to installation, and for some
unknown reason, I've seen through out many newsgroups, the files
don't play well together.

I wish you luck in your future attempts.

Eric


and, of course, Mort, Eric meant the file extension to be .slt and the
changes he talks about are that the file name maybe something like
fxgjht5j.slt in one case and something like dsf67kgh.slt in the other
installation. No great problem.

Daniel

Hi Daniel and Eric,

Thanks again for the further help. I'll pursue it as per your
suggestions, and if not successful, I'll have to quit.

I installed 2.0b1 and it didn't harm my 1.1.17 install at all.


If we are talking about the installation files (rather than the default profile

SeaMonkey 1.x (on XP x86): C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey

SeaMonkey 2.0 (on W7 x64): C:\Program Files (x86)\SeaMonkey

so it would seem that SM2 would not overwrite the SM1 installation.

Flashblock could not reproduce it and blames VS. :(

I did notice SeaMonkey's Error Console showed: "Error: uncaught 
exception: [Exception... "Node was not found" Â code: "8" > > > 
nsresult: "0x80530008 (NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_FOUND_ERR)" Â location:

"chrome://flashblock/content/flashblock.xml Line: 348"]

Also, another VS user has the same problem in Camino. He said it comes 
with Flashblock. It seems like only older Gecko engines and Flashblock 
have this problem. I couldn't reproduce it with SeaMonkey v2.0 beta 1 
and the latest FlashBlock for it.

 Hi Jo,
 The new component named Extension Manager 2.0 has never worked for me.
 But the former one, originally named just Extension Uninstaller works

 O.K., Jo, before you go away, open SeaMonkey, have a look at
