SM 2.0.4 personal toolbar locked to entry and Bookmarks do not survive close/open of app.
SM 2.0.4 personal toolbar locked to entry and Bookmarks do not survive close/open of app. Running XP SP3. Seamonkey is running as a stand-alone app; does not appear in add/remove programs. Dragging a url down to the personal toolbar looks as if it would work, being a circle with a bar through it as it goes across the navigation toolbar, changing to a file box outline as it moves onto the personal toolbar but releasing the mouse gives the system error sound (donk?) and URL disappears. Adding a bookmark with CTRL-SHIFT-D does so for that session but it does not survive a close/open of the SM application. Personal toolbar does display the Adblock-plus icon on extreme left. Copying the entire MOZILLA --SEAMONKEY branch from a previous installation with necessary subdirectory name changes and change in profile.ini reinstalled the old history, all extensions (like ad-block), themes, etc., but NOT bookmarks.

What do you mean it's not available for SeaMonkey?
Well, when I go to AMO, and search for TinyURL Generator, I find this page.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tinyurl-generator/
When I click on the Add to Firefox button, the extension downloads, and
I get an error message informing me that, TinyURL Generator could not be
installed because it is incompatible with SeaMonkey 2.7.
Also the install.rdf does not have a SeaMonkey code section, like this
one for Firefox.

/Description
/em:targetApplication
It was interesting that I got it to install, by adding one to the
install.rdf file, from a SeaMonkey extension. However it doesn't appear
to work.
That doesn't mean its not available for Mac. It just means the Dumb A***
that designed the extension for Mozilla didn't realize that the browser
portion of SM the same Browser that's in Firefox. They just wrote it
in such a way that only firefox can use it.
That's what infuriates me about extensions. The code used for the
browser is the same SM and FF and SM and TB for mail, Why the Heck
extension designers get a clue and make one extension for web browser
that works on both SM FF or for the Mail/new for SM TB.

Analogy: A car can easily be wrecked, but a safe driver can generally avoid that. By the same token, Windows can easily be infected, but a safe user can generally avoid that. The main reasons people use Windows: 1) Inertia -- they've always used it, it's familiar and understandable (mostly); it's the default when they go to the store; 2) Interoperability -- it's so ubiquitous that if you share files, chances are the other person already has the app that generated them and knows how to use it. Similarly, if you need help or feel generous about giving help, chances are your friend is using the same program. Ordinary users don't think nearly as much about security as techies like us, and they're much less willing to invest time and effort to learn the arcana of lesser-known operating systems like Linux or lesser-known mail programs like SeaMonkey.

The new machine is way faster, but not everything is where I left it, and not everything works the same way. Still, I brought the issue up in case others have experienced it and have a better handle on it. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Re: Fireform add-on won't enable in 2.6.1

It's working well, but I can't get it to enable on my other computer (computer #2), both running XP. The Add-on listing for it says it's not compatible with 2.6.1, but it offers three buttons: Options, Disable, Remove. At the top of the list, it shows ! Add-on compatibility checking is disabled. You may have incompatible add-ons. (Enable button) On my other computer, it has only one button in the Fireform listing: Remove. There is no ! Add-on compatibility checking is disabled... warning at the top of the list. I noticed the about:config file is different for the two computers when I filter on compatibility. Computer #1 has list of about fifteen entries like this: extensions.checkCompatibility.2.5; user set boolean false extensions.checkCompatibility.2.6; user set boolean false Should I add the one entry for 2.6 to computer #2? or is there a better way to get SM (computer #2) to let me enable FireForm? You should download/install the 'Add-on Compatibility Reporter' on the second computer. Sounds like it's on the first one, and that's what gives you the extra buttons on each plug-in entry. I did have it on #1 for a while, but it interfered with Lightning, and I removed it. That problem may be gone, now that Lightning has been updated to a new version; regardless, Reporter seems to have left some useful things in the config file. Computer #2 doesn't have Lightning, so even the potential for problems isn't there. I'll try it the next time my wife is away from it for an hour or two. She'd really like Fireform back. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
