Re: Seamonkey (2.6.1) and the error console
Philip Chee wrote: The Error Console is per instance. Of course one instance can comprise multiple browser windows (and mail and chat and ...). OK, poor use of terminology on my part : I have one instance of Seamonkey (does it allow multiple instances ?) with typically half-a-dozen browser windows and a mail window open. 2) To cause the error console to be displayed whenever the Seamonkey window associated with that instantiation is brought to the top. You could use one of the Docked Error Console extensions to embed the Error Console at the bottom of each window. OK, looks good. The Webconsole in Firefox 9 might be a better use case for you as it is per window and shows network traffic as well. Ah, interesting : I assume that there is no problem with running both Firefox and Seamonkey (I never have, preferring the look and feel of Seamonkey). You might like to install my Console² drop in replacement for the native error console: http://console2.mozdev.org/#C_latest_dev It has powerfull search and filter abilities. Screenshots: http://console2.mozdev.org/screenshots.html Thank you, I will investigate. The current versions incorporate an older extension Console Filter. http://console2.mozdev.org/cf/index.html You can use a sort of google lite syntax to filter what you want to see or not see.

In general, the site is timing how long it has been since the last time you accessed its Web server, how long you have been inactive on the site. Some sites even allow you to set the allowed duration of inactivity. For financial and sales sites, this is a safety feature. You are logged out after some period of inactivity to prevent someone else from using your login. After all, many bank transactions or consumer purchases are done online from the work place where other individuals are present. I go to a web site daily, and it is often slow. I assumed this is because they have a relatively small server. So would keeping yourself logged into such a site slow it down for everyone else? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

This makes the ctrl/ worse than useless - but misleading. SeaMonkey (and all other web browsers) are not built to render PDF files. If you want to view something within SeaMonkey that SeaMonkey is not meant to render, you need a plugin. In the case of PDF files, the most popular plugin is Adobe Reader. Is that what you're using to open PDF files within SeaMonkey? If so, it may eliminate confusion if you set Adobe Reader not to display PDF files within the browser. 1. Open Adobe Reader. 2. At the top of the Adobe Reader window, click the Edit menu, and select Preferences, to open the Preferences window. 3. In the left pane of the Adobe Reader Preferences window, select the Internet section. 4.
