The reason you can not produce this is that you are clicking on the localhost that is returned from the filtered list, whereas I WAS NOT, since the old SM would automatically returned the list of cookies. The SM 2.0.14 search was a search for all the cookies for the site entered in the search window, including subdomains and did not create a filter list on which you have to then click in order to see the list of cookies. Sounds like the developers need to automate the display of the cookies from the filtered list being returned by the search. It would also be nice if one could continue to be able to search by subdomains, but I guess I can learn how to live with that restriction. Thanks for your help. I would never have figured out that I needed to click on the domain in the left pain in order to see the cookies, if you have not said you were not able to reproduced my problem. Yes, when you search for localhost in the old or stand-alone Cookie manager, it returns only the cookies for the localhost and no other domains. In the new SM 2.4.1, it just returns localhost in the left pane. One now has to click on the left pane localhost entry in order to view the cookies. So an additional step is required. Of course, I can no longer search for subdomains. Previously, when one entered test.my... the list of cookies was immediately populated as soon as I entered the 1st or 2nd character after the dot. So it does work but requires additional steps Stanimir, thanks again for taking the time to help me work my way through this issue.

I admit I'm still not used to it and prefer the old UI, however. BTW, I've just tried the Firefox equivalent of the Data Manager - Permissions Manager about:permissions [1] (introduced in Firefox 6 but not exposed as item the UI, yet) and I find it much more friendlier. It reuses the UI for the Password and Cookie Managers - it just opens them with the site/domain filter filled-in conveniently. It also lists sites like code.google.com and google.com separately. The other major difference seems that Data Manager lists any site preference stored while Permissions Manager exposes just a few selected.

Re: Still getting pop-ups
Sun, 02 Oct 2011 11:34:46 -0400, /Tom S./: I have SM 2.4.1 running on Win XP SP3. Here's something that's bugged me for a long while. I thought eventually someone else would bring it up and soon after, it would be fixed. Oh well. Why is it SM no longer stops pop-ups? SM continues to stop automatic popups. I don't see a change in the behavior. When a page loads that has a pop-up, I have assigned a pop sound and the highlighted exclamation point shows on the bottom toolbar. But then, if I should click anywhere on the page, the pop-up will open into a new tab, instead of remaining suppressed. This happens on almost all websites that use pop-ups. (Oftentimes, they will use Flash for these pop-ups, but the Flashblock extension disables it, so it only shows the F button.) Is there anything I can change to prevent the pop-ups from happening? You may stop interacting with the page but I don't think that's much useful for you. Unfortunately popups triggered from an interactive actions are not blocked, otherwise it would block all legitimate popups triggered explicitly by you. You may however try to blocking somewhat more (than the default setup) or most popups with the Edit - Preferences: Browser / Link Behavior settings: Open links meant to open a new window in: (x) The current tab/window When scripts want to open a new window: (x) Always divert windows into tabs The label for the later is somewhat confusing according the real preference documentation [1]: | 0 | Divert all links according to browser.link.open_newwindow. | This includes: | * All HTML links with target=_blank. | * All JavaScript calls to window.open(). That should mean no new windows/tabs could be created by web content - only explicitly by you (e.g. using Ctrl+N or Ctrl+T). Using the default value for the second option with the changed value for the first would also block more but no all of the popups (see what fits bets for you): Open links meant to open a new window in: (x) The current tab/window When scripts want to open a new window: (x) Don't divert custom windows into tabs The later really means: | 2 | Divert all links according to browser.link.open_newwindow, unless | the new window specifies how it should be displayed. | This includes: | * All links with target=_blank. | * JavaScript calls to window.open() without the features | parameter (3rd parameter). | This does not include: | * JavaScript calls to window.open() with the features | parameter (3rd parameter).

TIA. Initially, popups (I almost typed poopups, which might be appropriate) were separate Web pages launched by scripts in the page you wanted to see. Today, many popups are artifacts of CSS, Flash, or scripts themselves (without launching anything). If they are from Flash, I strongly recommend Flashblock at http://flashblock.mozdev.org/. I normally run with this enabled. It allows me to display a Flash presentation by clicking an icon on the page containing Flash. If you know a page uses JavaScript for a popup, you can disable JavaScript. I have the PrefBar extension (from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/67148/) installed with a checkbox on the PrefBar toolbar for enabling and disabling JavaScript. It's very, very handy. I normally run with JavaScript enabled. However, when SeaMonkey seems to be operating strangely, I disable JavaScript; then, SeaMonkey usually returns to normal behavior. Similarly, I also have a checkbox on the PrefBar toolbar for enabling and disabling CSS. While disabling CSS strips away almost all formatting, a well-designed Web page should still have understandable content. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/.

Re: Is there an SM2.x extension that prompt user to send referers or not when requested?
On 10/2/2011 4:48 AM PT, Ant typed: Kind of like cookies, prompt to allow or deny the cookies. So far, I only found addons for Firefox. :( Not sure if this is what you meant? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/requestpolicy/ Version 0.5.22 Released July 25, 2011 146.4 KB Works with Mobile 0.1 - 1.0.*, SeaMonkey 2.0a - 2.7a1, Firefox 3.0 - 10.0a1 Hmm, looking at its description and https://www.requestpolicy.com/ doesn't say anything about referers (about:config's network.http.sendRefererHeader for prompting me instead of on/off) so I e-mailed its support. I wonder if this addon/extension works with the newer versions of SM2 e.g., v2.4.1) when I do finally upgrade. I got a reply from the developer, and he said it doesn't do what I want. :( -- Any spoke will lead the ant to the hub. --unknown /\___/\ Ant @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) / /\ /\ \Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net | |o o| | \ _ /If crediting, then use Ant nickname and AQFL URL/link.

Re: Addon Manager pops up

This did not start right away as I have had the SM 2.4.1 for a couple of days now and no problems but today it started occurring. I have shut down SM and shutdown and rebooted. Also at times now emails do not want to delete, nothing happens when I click on delete. Overall I am happy with the new SM. As an added info bit it has to be something in my profile but what I do not know, I have another profile that has the same plugins and extensions and it uses the default theme. I have have switched themes in the profile that has the problem but to no avail. I deleted several corrupt places.squite files but that had no effect either.
