Generally, you cannot manipulate the text on a Web page, including
highlightibng.  I don't know of any browser that allows this.


Perhaps the OP is creating a web page using Composer and wants to highlight 
that?


Note that a PDF file downloaded from a Web server is NOT a Web page even
when it is displayed in a browser.  The ability to highlight text on a
PDF file is a function of Adobe Reader or whatever application you are
using to view the PDF file.  If you are doing this in a browser, it is
actually being done by the plugin provided by Adobe Reader or other
application, not by the browser.  Similarly with a Word file (e.g.,
.doc, .docx) and some other non-HTML files.

2.21 or 2.22 won't connect

2013-11-03 Thread John Littel
On one Windows 7 desktop I have, after upgrading to 2.21 (or now trying 
2.22), the browser or mail client will not connect (ISP is comcast).  I 
have a Windows 7 laptop and Windows 8 tablet, neither of which have 
shown this problem, so it's something specific to the desktop.  When I 
first tried 2.21, I did try safe mode, with which the browser would 
connect but the mail client would not.  Out of safe mode, I tried 
disabling all add-ons manually, but the browser would still not 
connect.  Problem always goes away when I go back to 2.20.

Works just fine. Is that what the OP is seeing in his tutorial?

Or is he saying he can use a function to highlight text in the tutorial 
and wants to use that function in SeaMonkey but can't find it?


If I open SeaMonkey and View Source, then use the Find Bar to look for 
div, and select Highlight all, I see every div in the source. Isn't that 
div element text?


If I use the Find Bar on a site and look for a word, select Highlight 
all, isn't that word text.


I've never really used Find before. I'm pretty sure it could find 
phrases if they were entered.


Maybe that function is the Find Bar (Ctrl+F).

this one seems pretty isolated:

with Aero active (bug 927779) - from;

 Advice would be appreciated.

As for the keyboard problem: it seems that you have an alternate
keyboard configured in your computer. Windows allows you to have several
keyboards configured, and will attempt to remember which layout to use
in which window.

From the errors you mention, you seem to have both a QWERTY-based layout
(English, Spanish, Portuguese, Scandinavian languages and several
others) and a QWERTZ-based layout (German and Eastern Europe, mostly).

The solution is to open the Windows Control Panel, click on the Change
Keyboards or other input methods link, click on the Change keyboards
button and uninstall the undesired keyboard layouts.

As for the open blank page when closing... does this happens only when
you are trying to closing the last tab on the windows, or always? The
load-blank-page-on-closing-the-last-tab thing is there by design, and
can be turned off by an about:config option. If it's happening in other
situations, however, there might be something else wrong.

Generally, you cannot manipulate the text on a Web page, including
highlightibng.  I don't know of any browser that allows this.

Note that a PDF file downloaded from a Web server is NOT a Web page even
when it is displayed in a browser.  The ability to highlight text on a
PDF file is a function of Adobe Reader or whatever application you are
using to view the PDF file.  If you are doing this in a browser, it is
actually being done by the plugin provided by Adobe Reader or other
application, not by the browser.  Similarly with a Word file (e.g.,
.doc, .docx) and some other non-HTML files.



My comments above reflect my thought that the OP wanted to highlight
text the way hard copy text can be highlighted with a felt-tip marker.
Word and Adobe Reader have that capability for electronic text.



Well, from the OP's post I can only guess at what he wants to do.  So, 
OP?  Chime in and explain yourself - we're all just spinning our wheels 
here until you do.

I agree with your diagnosis, but I wouldn't prescribe surgery. Windows 
allows the user to toggle between different keyboards, and perhaps the 
OP has forgotten to do so, or else chosen not to display the tray icon

Adobe PDF Viewer Addon

2013-11-03 Thread Peter Anton
Can someone explain the following page for me?  I get it when I click 
on  the message on the Plugins tab of about:addons.


Adobe Acrobat is known to be vulnerable and should be updated _*Update 
Now_*



 *Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower* has been blocked for your protection.

Why was it blocked?
This plugin is outdated and is potentially insecure. Affected users 
should go to the plugin check page http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/ 
and update to the latest version.


Who is affected?
All Firefox users who have this plugin installed.

What does this mean?
The problematic add-on or plugin will be automatically disabled and no 
longer usable. When Mozilla becomes aware of add-ons, plugins, or other 
third-party software that seriously compromises SeaMonkey security, 
stability, or performance and meets certain criteria 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting, the software may be blocked from 
general use. For more information, please read this support article 
http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Add-ons%20Blocklist.


Blocked on October 5, 2012. View block request 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797378.



Am I to understand that there hasn't been a new version since October 5, 
2012?

Is Ver. 9.5.1 the most recent version of Acrobat?
Is there a version of Acrobat that works with Seamonkey?
Should I use another PDF viewer?

I can't view PDFs in Seamonkey and this report page raises more 
questions for me than it answers.

Version 9.5.1. is nowhere near the latest version. The current version 
is Version XI (11.0.04): http://get.adobe.com/reader/. You would be 
have been taken there if you had clicked Update Now.


The date October 5, 2012 is when the block was imposed.

If you prefer, there are other PDF viewers, but I can't provide an 
exhaustive list. Google is your friend.

Interviewed by CNN on 03/11/2013 20:43, azed13 told the world:

I finally moved up to 2.22, net result, when I close a web page
Seamonkez opens a new blank page. Tzping in the news group, zou will
notice that using the Whz kez results in a z being printed. Hitting the
z kez results in y. Manz other kezs produce special characters such as Ä
for quote kez Ö for the colon kez.

What goes_ the previous character is supposed to be a question mark.

Do I need to go back to an earlier release_

Also, the spacing of lines in the news reader has turned to double space.

These are the first problems I have had with a release going back
literallz for zears.

Advice would be appreciated.


As for the keyboard problem: it seems that you have an alternate
keyboard configured in your computer. Windows allows you to have several
keyboards configured, and will attempt to remember which layout to use
in which window.

 From the errors you mention, you seem to have both a QWERTY-based layout
(English, Spanish, Portuguese, Scandinavian languages and several
others) and a QWERTZ-based layout (German and Eastern Europe, mostly).

The solution is to open the Windows Control Panel, click on the Change
Keyboards or other input methods link, click on the Change keyboards
button and uninstall the undesired keyboard layouts.

As for the open blank page when closing... does this happens only when
you are trying to closing the last tab on the windows, or always? The
load-blank-page-on-closing-the-last-tab thing is there by design, and
can be turned off by an about:config option. If it's happening in other
situations, however, there might be something else wrong.



Thanks for the reply. The keyboard problem only occurred while typing in 
the news reader and as you can see, it appears to have disappeared. I do 
have an alternate keyboard program installed but it is and has been set 
for English (US). The glitch comes and goes at random but only in e-mail 
and this news group.


I did run Periforms Crap Cleaner after sending my post and cleaned out 
a lot of buried Temp files along with other junk in my browser and 
operating system, Win 7 Pro. I also ran a system scan that found no 
problems. Perhaps that took care of the problem.


As for the blank windows, they did occur when I had several tabs open 
along with programs that I was using to attach files to e-mail. In 
several cases, my ISP rejected the send option because the files were 
too large. A blank window opened with each rejection. For now, things 
seem to be working properly and I will post if the problems return.

for example, when i try and compose an email to the Democratic Governors

read the first few words in the sentence/paragraph about 4 words before

If you don't want to spend money to buy the latest Adobe Acrobat,
download and install the freeware Adobe Reader.  The latest version is
11.0.4.

There is no conflict in having both Adobe Acrobat (the writer) and Adobe
Reader both installed on the same system.  If you install Adobe Acrobat
before installing Adobe Reader, then the latter will be what is used for
displaying PDF files downloaded from the Web.

The wording of the notice is confusing and should be fixed (Adobe 
Acrobat in one place and Adobe Reader in another), but the OP appears 
to have the Reader and need not worry about paying to upgrade.
