Unfair comparison. Places does more than storing bookmarks. It also

Perhaps they could separate the history stuff from the raw bookmarks file?


LOL, you've just been said they did the opposite!

Where's my Homepages??

2011-10-04 Thread Daniel
Just upgraded to SM 2.4.1 (i.e. tonight's the first run) on Mandriva 
Linux 2009.0


When I started up the browser by clicking the icon/whatever down in the 
bottom left of screen, instead of getting my five site Home Group, I'm 
just getting one page, which isn't in the Home Group (but may have been 
the last page I had open when I was in Win7 last night).


Anybody else having this problem??

 Apparently it doesn't recognize Firefox/6.0.2 and wants me to upgrade 
 to v. 3.5 or 3.6. ;-\

 
 I've submitted two reports to the U.S. Department of Education, to their
 Technical Support unit.  One report was about Firefox 7.0 not being
 recognized, and the other was about SeaMonkey (any version) not being
 recognized.
 
 I'll wait about a week for a reply.  If none (or none acceptable) is
 received, I will then send a postal letter to Secretary of Education
 Arne Duncan.
 
 HOWEVER, everyone else encountering such problems should also
 communicate with those in authority to correct them.  You should not
 slough it off onto someone else.
 

I received an E-mail reply regarding Firefox 7.  Effectively, the
technical help unit in the U.S. Department of Education says that the
FAFSA Web site is not their responsibility and that I should submit my
complaint elsewhere, despite the fact that FAFSA is a Department of
Education program.  However, they did not indicate an E-mail address or
Web for URI for elsewhere.

My letter to Education Secretary Duncan is already in an envelope along
with a copy of the E-mail reply and a print-out of the page that says
the Web site can be viewed with Firefox only through versions 3.5.x and
3.6.x.  Since the site's list of acceptable browsers is quite
restrictive and does not mention audio browsers for the blind, my letter
suggests that the Web site might be in violation of Section 508 of the
U.S. Rehabilitation Act of 1986 (as amended in 1998), which contains a
mandate for government Web sites to be accessible by the handicapped.

I have not yet received any response relative to SeaMonkey.

See:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213915
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=476204
Note that bug #213915 was submitted more than 8 years ago.  The site has
been updated since then, but it perpetually sniffs for replaced versions
of Netscape, then Mozilla Suite, and now Firefox.

Open Source Software Research Help Needed Please

2011-10-04 Thread Lila Holt
Hello!

We are asking you for some help from the Open Source communities.

As researchers at the University of Tennessee we are interested in
discovering more about learning and interactions of members of the open
source forums.   This research is conducted through the University of
Tennessee and is in no way associated with any forum organization.  To
further our research we would like input from forum members.  The responses
are very important to us so we can better understand what tools help forum
members learn and have a productive experience in participation.

There are two ways you can help:

1.   Take a survey about the tools you use in the forum.

We are requesting approximately 15 minutes of your time to participate in
our survey.
Survey link:  http://survey.utk.edu/mrIWeb/mrIWeb.dll?I.Project=FORUMLEARN



*As a thank you, upon exiting the survey you will be given an opportunity to
submit information to be entered in a drawing for a tablet computer (iPad).
  *



2.  Have a one on one interview talking about the forums, how you learn,
and tools used.  *As a thank you for your interview you will be sent a
$25.00 gift card. * Email lh...@utk.edu for more information.





You may do either or both of the above.  Please be assured that your answers
will be confidential.  No individual’s answers will ever be identified in
any report. Should you have any questions about the project or our interest
in using the results, we encourage you to contact Lila Holt, at
lh...@utk.edu) or Vandana Singh at vand...@utk.edu.




Contact information you provide for the drawing is completely separate from
your survey answers and there will be no way to identify participants in the
actual survey responses. Nor will contact information be used for any other
purpose. The odds of being selected will depend on the number of respondents
to this survey.


Thank you so much!

Thanks. I changed this setting from 0 to 2 in
the config editor
(about:config). So, now when a pop-up opens, it
is in a new small
window instead of another tab. I can close it
with Alt-F4 on the
keyboard instead of using the mouse.


Unless you change the first one
(browser.link.open_newwindow) to something more
restrictive (as suggested above) you effectively
allow more popups setting the second one
(browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction) to value
of 2.

Try such a configuration:

browser.link.open_newwindow = 1
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction = 0

OK, I tried that. Now the pop-up opens in the same tab, so I have to 
use the back button to get to the source page.
Thanks anyway.  :-\  I'll try again with add-ons disabled or with a 
blank profile, but doubt there will be much difference. It's strange 
why no one else seems to have even any sign of a pop-up on these sites.

Re: What can I expect with upgrade to Version 2.3.3

I'm currently using SeaMonkey 2.0.14. What can I expect with upgrading
to Version 2.3.3? I get constant reminders to upgrade.

When I upgraded to the current version my profiles were copied to
another location which I had difficulty locating and then couldn't get
to work and had to re-establish all of my 5 email accounts using the old
location. It seems to me I also had trouble with my bookmarks.

Will this happen again? Is there an upgrade guide with step-by-step
instructions?

Thanks,

Tony Higgins


What version of SM were you using when you upgraded to your current 
version, 2.0.14?


The newest version of SM is 2.4.1. I don't recall a version 2.3.3. But I 
may have missed that update.  8-)


What Operating System are you using? Windows XP, 7?

Me, too, Tony. I need instructions by the number with somebody holding
my hand all the way. Here's hoping.

Walter.



Feel free to read along. Did somebody supply you with instructions by 
the number and hold your hand when you started using SM?

If all you have to offer is ridicule and sarcasm then don't bother
replying. I don't know what version I'm being prompted to upgrade to.
All I know is that it is annoying and I still remember the fiasco when I
upgraded from the previous version of Sea Monkey. I still don't know why
it copied my profiles and email files to another location and then
wouldn't let me designate that location. I'm using Windows XP Media
Center SP3. I also have Windows 7 Pro on another drive that I would like
to install Sea Monkey on and have it work with my email files when I
boot to it. But for now, I just want to know what's in store doing this
upgrade if it is going to be anything like last time. If it is then I'm
not so eager to upgrade. I've upgraded through several versions of
Netscape and never had that experience before the last upgrade.

Tony


You replied to my reply to another person. You replied to my reply to 
Walter.


If you don't know what upgrade to upgrade gave you problems, then it's 
hard to say what your next upgrade to upgrade will do.


SeaMonkey is not Netscape.

Click on Help, About SM. What is your current version? If your current 
version is 2.0.14, then the upgrade so 2.4.1 should be OK.


If you have any problems with that upgrade, then post back to this 
newsgroup and somebody will try to help.

Its a (now) known issue with the default Sync Server, Mozilla IT are
working around the clock to try and correct it properly.

See https://services.mozilla.com/status/ for more.


Network Timeout

The operation timed out when attempting to contact services.mozilla.com.

Most of Mozilla is sloow. Bugzilla, the Wiki. The NNTP server seems to
be doing fine (but then it's actually Giganews).

Mozilla or Giganews there is no excuse they should be on top of the line 
Fiber Optic.
