Clicked the red 'Update' button for each update req'd (Adobe Rdr, Shockwave and Flash; JRE) one at a time, knowing I'd get files downloaded which would require running individually. Each download failed the first time from the respective source web page link, then worked flawlessly when I either re-clicked the 'Update' again, or used the 'Retry' icon in the DM status window. I also had the same behavior with a download from a genealogy tool's website, when I bought a major version upgrade. Their link opened SM's Download Mgr, and it failed first time, too. Again, retrying the download without closing/reopening windows worked fine. And this one was after updating the SM plugins and re-starting the browser. In each case, the download appears to run right to the end, then fails. have an a/v installed that takes a while to do a scan? Try opening about:config and changing browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone to false see if that makes a difference Regards, Lee I use AVG (paid version), and it's interface doesn't appear to have settings which lend themselves to scans of file downloads. And the CPU activity doesn't reflect a scan going on. But I've set the config item as you suggest. Initial try appears to work. But it's late, so I'll have to pick it up tomorrow with more in-depth tests. Will report back. Thanks! Update: I've changed the pref back to its default, and can't get any downloads to fail. I've made a note of this thread so can re-apply the suggested change at will. thanks again. You're welcome I'm glad everything is working for you again. The bad news is that the behavior you've seen could be explained by the hard drive problems. If you haven't checked or defragged the hard drive in a while now would be a good time to make a full backup. USB terabyte drives don't cost all that much any more -- aren't all that fast either tho. Then find something like http://www.passmark.com/products/diskcheckup.htm that will show you how the drive is doing. chkdsk /f /r takes many hours on my PC, but it will fix errors on the drive check for bad sectors. Then do a manual defrag, which also can take hours. Lee ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I've encountered this myself and fixed it using a Firefox solution...but I can't recall the exact place I got it from. YOu have to override a stored javascript. Anyway - First try turning javascript off, deleting any and all cookies for the offending site, and then going to the login and see if you get the prompt to save your password. If that doesn't work, try the Remember Password bookmarklet solution linked here - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/764457 And also explained and linked here - https://ttboj.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/forcing-firefox-to-remember-passwords/ I know this is how I solved the problem, but I didn't mark the specific bookmarklet I used.

Some bank sites fir example use this as an extra security measure. They do let you store as cookies some security questions if you say that computer is private. The only way a site can not permit you to store a password etc. on your local computer is by refusing to set a cookie containing the password. A determined user can get around such a site in any number of ways, either by using a password manager or by saving passwords in a separate text file. On the other hand, any site that requires a login generally requires the ability to set a cookie whose function is to answer this computer is logged in as... whenever asked. Those cookies generally don't contain the password; instead they contain some derived character string that makes sense to the server but cannot be used against the user by an eavesdropper. I'd be interested in knowing why SeaMonkey (and its predecessors) are unable/unwilling to save passwords for certain sites. My guess is that those site's designers have chosen formats that SM doesn't recognize as username+password. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

safe mode
Last night I was downloading info from Google. At the end of my session I went to check the weather forecast (my home page on Sea Monkey) and was greeted with Sea Monkey starting in safe mode. Realizing that something was amiss I ran Malwarebytes that discovered 10 suspicious items. I had the program delete the suspect items and re-started my computer when prompted. At that point I ran Sea Monkey and it started in normal mode but with default settings. I set my preferences and shut down. This morning I went to check e-mail and discovered that my internet mail connection was gone. I used the wizard to set up the connection but all my sub-files are gone and the e-mails stored there. Is there any way to recover these e-mails from the Sea Monkey file in programs that a computer illiterate like me can accomplish?
