Re: Ubuntu Linux Seamonkey maximize does not integrate title bar with desktop title bar

Seamonkey used to do this but recently stopped, so that now when I
maximize a Seamonkey window, there are two title bars at top instead of
one.  In other words the Seamonkey title bar sits right below the
desktop title bar when maximized.  I need it to integrate, like before.
  Any ideas?  Thanks!


What you are talking about is the *Ubuntu* Unity desktop where the 
window title is integrated with top panel on maximize. Firstly I do not 
recall SeaMonkey ever did that. Firefox does because of the Canonical's 
"Ubuntu Modifications" extension. It looks like Canonical or some 
ambitious extension developer needs to write an extension. Not sure if 
the Firefox one could be adapted.

The extension in question is:

/usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/ubu...@ubuntu.com.xpi

I tried using the conversion tool, but it's a no-go. But as reference it 
may be of use for someone so motivated.

Browser slow

[G. Ross]

I have used seamonkey since it was mozilla.  It seems to be getting 
slower (browser).  Weather.com takes forever to load all it's little 
programs and sometimes hangs, for the past month.  Mail and newsgroups 
do fine.  I updated to the latest version of Seamonkey with no 
appreciable speed-up.  I have Java, NoScript enabled. Flash set to 
always ask.


In desperation I tried Internet Exploder for the weather.com and it 
pops up almost instantaneously.


Any advice appreciated.

Hi Walt!

I tried that but still did not work (getting the older browsers and re-Sync). 
Looks like I will have to wait until they make Sync with SeaMonkey compatible 
with Firefox Sync. I somehow cannot link into Sync with SeaMonkey anymore. Even 
with older versions.  Give me error messages whenever I put in any of the 2 
email addresses I have used.

Until then, however, if I change computers, I will be really in trouble given 
that I need much of data to be stored on SeaMonkey Sync the new one to come 
maybe soon  I cannot access the old data previously stored.

Pierre

PS. It is difficult to understand why it was decided to make the 2 browsers 
impossible to sync with each other, when some users may have depended on having 
the two browsers sync with each other. For me it is related to the web pages I 
create/update and the research I do online.

Hi Daniel!

In the past, it was possible to sync the two browsers on the same computer. 
That was the old sync system.

The problem seems to be that I cannot link into the new sync system for as long as sea 
monkey is asking me for a "recovery key" that was needed with the old sync 
system.

I can link in to the new sync system - that now requires only an email and 
password - with Firefox, but cannot do so with Sea Monkey.

Pierre


Known issue.


You cannot set up a new Sync account or pair a device anymore (bug 998807). 
Workaround: Use an older version of SeaMonkey for such tasks for now.

SeaMonkey is not a Mozilla product. There is only Firefox.

If you follow the meeting notes Mozilla has graciously given SeaMonkey 
"official permission to**use the Firefox FxA 2.0 sync servers"*.

When I read this post yesterday, in my Win7 SeaMonkey, I went to
bugzilla and clicked the links for news:// and nntp:// . and nothing
happen!! :-(

Tonight, when I started up my Win7 SeaMonkey, I had two new accounts on
my Mail and News screen!! :-(

So Bug still applicable  at least for SM.



In the report David states he has Thunderbird installed.

When I click the news:// link in the bug report using Firefox, I get the
Launch Application dialog box, that allows me to chose an application I
want news to open with. Thunderbird is already selected for me, or I
could chose another application.

Using a test profile with Thunderbird 38.5.1, I clicked OK, then
restarted Thunderbird and  mozilla.support.thunderbird was there at the
account level, not as a newsgroup. Not good.

With that Thunderbird still open, I then clicked the nntp:// link and
got a dialog box from Thunderbird asking me to Confirm "Would you like
to subscribe to mozilla.support.seamonkey. I clicked OK, restarted
Thunderbird again with the test profile. This time I had a
news.mozilla.org account with the mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup
installed.

Once the News Account was created, when I go to this page
 in
Firefox and select any newsgroup I get the Launch Application dialog
box, but clicking OK subscribes me to the newsgroup.

I did the same with SeaMonkey and almost had the same results.

Clicking the news:// link created a mozilla.support.thunderbird account.

Clicking the nntp:// link created a news.mozilla.org account, with a
subscription to the mozilla.support.seamonkey newsgroup.

Only this time the SeaMonkey Account Wizard dialog box opened, asking me
to fill in my account information for the mozilla.support.thunderbird
account.

Canceling the account creation brought up the Download Headers dialog
box for the SeaMonkey newsgroup. Headers downloaded normally.

Going to the forums site linked to above, clicking a newsgroup link,
SeaMonkey asked if I wanted to subscribe and clicking OK subscribed me
to the newsgroup.

Anyway, whether it is working or not, I think the fact that SeaMonkey
and Thunderbird are not Tier 1 products is the deciding factor.

In Mozilla's eyes they are not.

The only thing you lose by clearing cookies is if you want persistent 
authentication from session to session. Personally, I'm fine with 
authenticating myself on a new session (especially with using the 
Password Manager), but you may prefer not having to do those logins. I'm 
doubtful that clearing cookies will clear this problem, but if you can 
handle having to authenticate yourself once to all the sites you log 
into


Are you seeing slowness in other applications (especially if Seamonkey 
isn't running)? If you're seeing no apparent improvement in Safe Mode 
(and it's also worth seeing how things behave with a different profile), 
it may be that Seamonkey is not the problem, but what's showing the 
symptoms of something else.


Over the last couple of years, I've seen several computers with chronic 
slowness issues (and nothing that could be attributed to tuning issues). 
In each case, I found that when I ran a tool that checked the SMART 
status of the hard drive, I got a report of relocated sectors.


If that happens, then that's indication of a hard drive that's in the 
process of failing, and you want to get the drive replaced.


The tool that I most often use to check SMART status is Crystal Disk 
Info, but I discovered recently that recent updates in Piriform's Recuva 
tool will also check that, as well.

persistent authentication from session to session. Personally, I'm
fine with authenticating myself on a new session (especially with
using the Password Manager), but you may prefer not having to do
those logins. I'm doubtful that clearing cookies will clear this
problem, but if you can handle having to authenticate yourself once
to all the sites you log into


Many sites also store user preferences there. For example, when I visit 
weather.com (which BTW loads instantly), SM prompts me with a notice 
that the site wants to know my location. Obviously, different weather 
stories will be of interest if I'm in Boston or Honolulu. Similarly, if 
I visit YouTube and turn off Autoplay, the site saves that pref in a 
cookie so I don't have to keep turning it off every time I view a new 
video. If I clear the cookie, YouTube forgets my preference and resets 
AutoPlay to the default ("on") value. YouTube and many other sites also 
save things like volume settings in cookies, so if I play several 
videos, the second and third ones start at the same 60% volume that I 
chose for the first one instead of the default 100%.


I could go on all night. The point is, there's a lot more to cookies 
than logins and NSA/Google tracking. If the OP tries clearing them, my 
bet is it'll solve his problem because something got corrupted. But I 
won't hold a gun to his head.

I have used seamonkey since it was mozilla.  It seems to be getting
slower (browser).  Weather.com takes forever to load all it's little
programs and sometimes hangs, for the past month.  Mail and newsgroups
do fine.  I updated to the latest version of Seamonkey with no
appreciable speed-up.  I have Java, NoScript enabled. Flash set to
always ask.

In desperation I tried Internet Exploder for the weather.com and it pops
up almost instantaneously.

Any advice appreciated.


Try running in Safe Mode and see if there's any difference.


Yes, even slower.


Then it's time to bite the bullet and create a new profile.
