Original release date: March 18, 2014

The Mozilla Foundation has released security updates to address
multiple vulnerabilities in Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey.
Exploitation of these vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to obtain
sensitive information, cause a denial-of-service condition, execute
arbitrary code, or operate with elevated privileges on an affected
system.

The following updates are available:

 Firefox 28
 Firefox ESR 24.4
 Thunderbird 24.4
 Seamonkey 2.25

Users and administrators are encouraged to review the Security
Advisories for Firefox, Firefox ESR, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey to
determine which updates should be applied to mitigate these risks.


Will Seamonkey 2.25 be released soon?  It's neither on the
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ Web site nor on the ftp.mozilla.org
FTP server.



2.25 is unusable on at least Linux 64 bit, because of bug

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=964182

Don't upgrade, or it will crash every time.

However, I've been using SM2.25b2 for the last several weeks (didn't
upgrade to 2.25b3) without any crashes!!

Misak, is it possible that one of your extension is causing the
problem?? Do you see any messages in the Error Console?? Or have a look
at Crash Reports for the Last 3 Days under Help-Troubleshooting
Information

No, It's not extension. I'm testing any everyday build since October on 
clean profile, and it's crashing. Official Fedora 20 SM 2.25 package too.

What distro are you running, and where are you getting your updates
from?  Are you downloading directly from Mozilla, or getting updates
through your distro's repository, or are you using a third-party
repository, such as Ubuntuzilla?  Also, what tool are you using for
subscribing to RSS?

I'm not seeing any issues on a copy installed from Ubuntuzilla, but I
also don't do RSS in that installation.

I don't know if it's significant, but I notice that the Ubuntuzilla
release of 2.25 was a little slower than normal, on this release cycle.
  If Firefox normally releases on Tuesday, it seems that windows
versions of Seamonkey normally turn up on Wednesday or Thursday, and
Ubuntuzilla has it by sometime on Friday.  I don't remember the exact
release time, but on this cycle, I didn't see the Seamonkey update from
Ubuntuzilla offered until Monday, although I didn't make any checks over
the weekend.

Smith


Fedora 20, official packages. Also my builds since October. You should 
use RSS in mailnews to catch that bug.

Seamonkey is seamonkey-2.21-4.ESR_24.3.0.el6.x86_64.

Thanks for your advices.

Patrick, Why did you turn off automatic folder compression?? In doing so, you 
have set yourself up for creating a huge inbox folder which will be looking 
for more and more space on your HD.

Hi Daniel,

Yes, I know this but I would like to understand what is this continuous disk 
access. So I've disabled this automatic compression at this time.


Try File-Empty Trash then File-Compact Folders and see what happens.

This doesn't solve the problem. Since yesterday, I've worked on this problem but 
still no solution.

That I know now is:
- The file concerned by this continous write is 
.mozilla/seamonkey/aw16q4e9.default/addons.sqlite-journal

- Seamonkey-mail write nearly 10 Mbytes/s in this file.
- the content of the file must be overwriten, as its size doesnt grow.
- a strings command on the file show mainly ocurences of 
https://addons.cdn.mozilla.net/img/uploads/previews/.../xxx.png; URLs.


I've restarted seamonkey with all plugin disabled but it doesn't change and 
moreover seamonkey seam to hang now when asking again for this page (about:addons).


As the home is a NFS storage, this client generate an average network load of 
100Mbits/s continuously

I could solve the problem only by a system recovery.

Since today I cannot play videos on SM. The video windows opens black 
and then dissappears. But video function works on Firefox and on 
IExplorer. What could be the reason?

Fonts changing in E-mail?

2014-04-01 Thread hawker

Has anyone else had issues with SM25 fonts changing in E-mail on their own?

I updated from SM0.21 to SM.25 and the problem started.
What I have found is when the draft backup kicks in or right after I 
click send any non default fonts get reset to the default font.


This is especially a problem for e-mails I compose to my China vendors 
who use a special font to make English to Chinese translation easier.


What causes this? Is this a reported/known bug?

Could be an encoding issue, I spose... certainly not the shapes of the 
glyphs (font). Choosing Times Roman or Courier or Bodoni Bold 
shouldn't make any difference to a computer.


Other than Unicode, the characters used for English should be at the 
same code points in most any encoding scheme, eh? They're all basic ASCII.


Check whether SM is automatically changing your encoding to an undesired 
value. For example, if they always want to see Unicode (or Big 5 or 
whatever) and SM is forcing to Western, that could cause trouble for an 
automated translation system.


Edit | Mail  Newsgroups | Character Encoding

In general, SM will switch to Unicode automatically if your message 
contains characters outside the set you have specified. So if you want a 
Western message to remain in Western, don't mix in any Chinese. By the 
same token, if they need to see Unicode and you're sending plain English 
with no foreign characters, SM has no reason to switch and will use Western.


Check also if quoted printable is checked on that pref dialog; some 
recipients may have trouble with it (though they shouldn't).

Thanx,
I'll look into all that.
It is hard to say what exactly is going on. What I see is that I'll be 
typing along and all of a sudden wammo my text looks totally different. 
Usually it is larger and appears to switch back to the default font 
rather than what I was in.  The stored message also is the new font.
Looking at Bugzilla I see a few old Thunderbird bugs about fonts 
changing but nothing that seems to be recent or followed up on.

I get the same problem of changing fonts willy-nilly, but only when 
replying to someone's e-mail. When I compose an original e-mail, this 
never happens.


I'd like to find out how to prevent it.

Thanks.
