If it does have an effect, you might have to restart SM before you're able to revisit the site.

Or is the present incompatibility greater than merely what is in install.rdf? Since no one responded to the above question, I am trying it myself. I successfully installed BetterPrivacy 1.68 in SeaMonkey 2.7. I was able to open its options window, and everything there looked okay. To test further, I have disabled both FlashBlock and BetterPrivacy in order to accumulate some Flash cookies. Then, I plan to enable BetterPrivacy to see if it deletes the Flash cookies. I will post the results here. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/.

The analog of the Win Control Panel setting is contained within Safari, and a reboot is a reboot no matter who's OS you're using... But this behavior has persisted throughout - both as the OP observes in the Win version and as I've observed in the Mac OS version, under Mac OS. So it appears systemic to SM in both versions, but I submitted a bug based on my Mac observations. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
