No, I really meant 3.nnn.  The install.rdf file for Flashblock 1.3.21

Ahh!! So it should work for every edition up to and *excluding* ver
3.n!! That seems reasonable.



Err, I think that means up to and INCLUDING ver. 3.x.


So does that mean it's good up to Ver 3.99??


Yes.


I thought the maxVersion
was the Version at which it would stop working!!



It stops working when the version exceeds what is specified.  In this 
example, the extension would not be compatible with SM version 4.x.

Hi Folks,

So it looks like Seamonkey automatically disables the Flash plug-in if

a security alert, not an update page, which leads to two questions:


You're right, that's really user-unfriendly and has been for some time.


1. How does one update it?, or


If you skim through all the fine print in the security alert (I assume 
you're referring to

2. How does one remove it, to force sites to push HTM5 video (there is
no remove button under tools/add-ons/plugins, the way there is for
extensions).

(Seamonkey 2.31, Macintosh)


On Windows, the program has to be removed via the Control Panel -- 
it's not a feature of the browser, but an independent program (though 
it does generally play nice with the browser). For the Mac, look here:

Silverlight not working with SM 2.31

2014-12-13 Thread EE
I updated the Silverlight plugin, since I got a warning that it was 
outdated.  SeaMonkey will not use it.  If I clear the placeholder from 
plugins click-to-play, there is nothing under it.  Firefox and Safari 
both work with Silverlight with no problem.  Is there any way to fix 
Silverlight for SeaMonkey?

Most of my email displays properly with Western character encoding,
but
about 10-20% requires selecting Unicode from the ViewCharacter
Encoding
list. I've tried to make SM select it automatically, but it still
doesn't. Is there anyway to make it pick the proper character
encoding?


It should pick up the encoding from the Content-Type header of the
email.

Having said that, at one time I used to find the message pane in the
main window didn't switch encodings when moving between emails, but
pressing F8 a couple of times to hide and then show it again sorted it
out. Haven't noticed that problem for a long time now. Even then, fully
opening emails in a separate window did use the correct encoding.

Alternatively, it could be that the problematic emails have the wrong
encoding, or perhaps no encoding, specified in the header. e.g. the
sending application has specified iso-8859-1 in the header but actually
encoded the content in utf-8. If that's the case, at least you've
got an
option to manually override the encoding so that it can be displayed
correctly ;o)


The email has these lines in it:


I hope you mean when looking at the message source; you shouldn't see
these lines when reading normally (I do occasionally see some of the
source in the message pane, but pressing F8 a couple of times to hide
and show the message pane fixes that - which you mention below doesn't
help in your case so I don't think that's it).


Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=_--=_MCPart_1762143897

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=fixed

... and two or three with Content-Type in parenthesis.


The content following Content-Type: text/plain... will be the plain
text version. If there's a text/html alternative SeaMonkey will probably
display that instead, unless you've set View  Message Body As  Plain
Text. I'm not sure what you mean about Content-Type being in
parentheses, but that may be the problem.

It would be interesting to see the complete structure of one of those
emails. If you're not sure what to look for and there's nothing in one
of them you don't mind sharing, it's probably easiest to View  Message
Source, copy the source into a plain text document, and upload it
somewhere (or send as an attachment, but copy my address -
mozilla-lists.mbourne at spamgourmet.com - if you do that as I think the
mailing list strips attachments).



I just forwarded the email to your spamgourment address.


Thanks, but I'd need the original source. Forwarding causes SeaMonkey to 
reformat it, with any additional message you add, so loses any original 
signs of a problem. The following should work (easier than my previous 
instruction to view and copy the source):

- Open the email.
- Make sure it is one of the ones which displays incorrectly.
- File  Save As  File
- For Save as type, select Mail Files (*.eml)
- Save
- Attach that file to an email to me


Oddly, tonight SM is displaying the email properly. The View  Character
encoding shows as Unicode after I click on the email, even if I set it
to Western beforehand. I'm fairly sure I didn't change anything.


I'm not sure, but it's possible that SeaMonkey remembers any manual 
selections for each email and uses them next time it's opened.


Thanks,
Mark.

If you skim through all the fine print in the security alert (I assume

2. How does one remove it, to force sites to push HTM5 video (there is
no remove button under tools/add-ons/plugins, the way there is for
extensions).

(Seamonkey 2.31, Macintosh)


On Windows, the program has to be removed via the Control Panel -- it's
not a feature of the browser, but an independent program (though it does
generally play nice with the browser). For the Mac, look here:

Yes, I agree the plugins check should link there, but it doesn't. Should
the user have to bookmark or memorize that link instead, or come here to

Fer God's sake, the user should bookmark the link to the add-on that

This isn't an Adobe support site, it's a SeaMonkey support site. The OP

You cannot set up a new Sync account or pair a device anymore (bug

for now.

Start SeaMonkey with a test profile. Check cookies. I'll bet you see one 
for Google, as it is most likely set by the Google default search engine.


My test profile had two Google cookies. Same name PREF, two different 
Content: ID's.


Have you tried the Allow cookies for the originating site only (no

My first guess is that it's the Google safebrowsing cookie.  The
browser connects to Google to get its lists of bad sites.  After reports
that the NSA was using the Google safebrowsing cookie to track people,
Mozilla took a look at blocking the cookie, but AIUI it turned out that
the safebrowsing API requires a cookie in order to work at all.  It
looks like they decided to sandbox the cookie somehow;  I don't
understand the details.  I think they also got Google to promise never
ever to use it for tracking or building dossiers.  FWIW, the bugs are

My first guess is that it's the Google safebrowsing cookie. ...


I don't think so. I tested as follows:

From the last surviving browser window, clear private data (includes 
cookies and cache). Close the browser window. Open a fresh browser 
window, which by pref opens a blank page. Check cookies, nothing. Go to 
home page (my company website, which does not set cookies). Check 
cookies, nothing. Note that I have both safe browsing options enabled at 
Edit | Preferences | Privacy  Security.


I therefore conclude that Google is not setting a cookie on browser 
startup, and it's not setting one in order to evaluate whether my 
company website is or is not dangerous.


The Google cookie I get from nhl.com is called NID, it's 131 
characters of alphanumeric soup, and it varies from visit to visit.



It's bad enough that they update their dossier on me when I visit
their own sites, do they have to do it everywhere else, too?\

More to the point, how can I set SeaMonkey to do as it says and block

OK, let's try that...

Nope, didn't change a thing. Google set another cookie called NID 131 
characters long.

So you didn't try a test profile.

Okay, I started my SeaMonkey with the test profile. Had the 2 Google 
cookies I mentioned earlier. Cleared cookies, history, cache, and 
everything else I could check.


Restarted SeaMonkey with the test profile, had the 2 Google cookies 
again, repeated the Clear history, restart process and the 2 Google 
cookies come back on every restart.


Let me set Block Cookies from This Website, the website being 
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/, clear history, restart and 
they're back. Block Cookies from The Website under Tools  Cookie 
Manager is still enabled.


Let me try checking When removing, block the listed websites from 
setting future cookies in the Cookies tab of Data Manager and using 
Remove there also. APPLAUSE! No Google cookies!


That was an adventure. :)
