Profile Manager does not work
I have been using SeaMonkey in Windows XP Pro for 2.0.4 Pre (now .4) for some months and decided to install the 2.04 version and uninstall two earlier versions (1.1.18 and 1.1.19), thinking to create a second profile where I could archive old messages. No sooner done than I went to the Profile Manage of 2.0.4 and discovered that it is not working. When I go to Start/Programs menu/SeaMonkey/Profile Manager, the link goes to the browser instead of the Profile Manager. Even when I create a shortcut using the -profileManager or -P extensions, it does the same thing. The only way I am able to open the Profile Manager is in the Browser/Tools/Change Profile menu. Even this, however, is not malfunctionaly. The Select User Profile window opens, and shows the default user, but when I click on open profile, nothing happens. I then went to the option Manage Profiles and created a new profile and selected the folder in which to place it. Back to the Manage User Profiles, there are now TWO profiles listed, neither of which will open with the Use Profile button. Although the rename button opens the correct window and accepts what I type it, no rename occurs, and neither profile can be deleted. The Profile Manager appears to be corrupted, but unistalling and reinstalling 2.0.4 has not corrected this problem. Can anyone help me? Thanks, Marisa ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

You can run the 32-bit Seamonkey (the one that's actually available, you know) in 64-bit Windows with no problem. It will use the 32-bit Flash player. Actually, that's true for most applications. Only a few apps have 64-bit native versions, and those tend to be very memory-hungry apps, like Photoshop, which will benefit from having more than 4Gb RAM all to themselves. And most of them will offer to install both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions in parallel, so you can use the 64-bit one when you need lots of RAM and the 32-bit one when you need compatibility. (MS-Office is an exception: you have to choose either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version. Unless you are an Excel jockey with a really humongous spreadsheet, you are better off staying with the 32-bit one for the time being). Even Internet Exploder comes in two versions in Vista/7 64bit: a native 64-bit one and a 32-bit one. Most people use only the 32-bit one, because it is compatible with Flash and other plugins.

But I think it's worth noting that unless SeaMonkey can be configured so as to avoid this without this pretty obscure individual fix, it's going to go the way of Netscape and Mozilla, because people will decide that they have to use IE or Firefox to avoid this sort of thing occurring more frequently. The problem is not in SeaMonkey. The pronblem is that some Web servers deliver different Web pages based on what browser you are using, detecting your browser by what is called sniffing. Further, many servers sniff incorrectly, looking for Firefox when they should look for Gecko. What you have done is make those servers think you are using Firefox. This is called spoofing. By spoofing, you are compounding the problem by not telling other servers that SeaMonkey is not being used. This will eventually lead to other Web developers to think that there is no need to provide for SeaMonkey when they sniff. This puts all SeaMonkey users at a disadvantage. The proper way to address this problem requires three actions: 1. Use an extension that allows you to spoof another browser when necessary but also eliminates spoofing at other times. Such extensions include PrefBar and UserAgentSwitcher. They automatically eliminate spoofing whenever you launch SeaMonkey. 2. Contact the owner of Web sites that work with Firefox but not with SeaMonkey. Inform them that they are blocking the use of Gecko-based browsers that are not Firefox. Refer them to http://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Sardisson/Gecko_is_Gecko and thus losing potential audience. Most of the time webmaster would not change what he have done ... one reason is because IE is IE, FireFox is FireFox, and Seamonkey is *not* Seamonkey , but Gecko ... nobody knowns that Gecko is a browser ... the webmaster snif for a known list of browser ...

Default Mail Composition Font
Is this the place to bring up the issue of the defective HTML composer in the Mail program? Seamonkey 1x and Mozilla Suite and Netscape always handled selected default fonts solidly. SeaMonkey 2x adopted the Thunderbird trunk and now has a defective composer that reverts to variable width small fonts at the slightest perturbation of the type stream. Thunderbird made this error sometime after creating the ToolKit code that cannot interact with the better code from the old SeaMonkey. Everyone says it's tough to go back and fix the problem, but I wonder how many iterations have come and gone in the meantime. How did this make it out of Beta? Is it really so hard to fix? Is there any plan to put the CSS code in place eventually so that we have a modern Mail program to be proud of? This defect is quite jarring to those of us coming to it from SeaMonkey. Get used to it is not a nice suggestion. I have already aired this elsewhere on Mozillazine forums to the point of arousing hostility from moderators. So far, no one responsible for writing the code and responsible for adopting Thunderbird for SeaMonkey code has come forward with their perspective on the matter. There are many things better than the old 1x, besides the easier ToolKit code for developers. The crash recovery is admirable, for instance. But this font silliness is just a killer of some of us.
