Thank yo/s= I responded to this asking how to do it. Then later read other posts sending me to Prefbar to download. I am Windows 7 using SeaMonkey. Do I download from SM or from FF. And after I download, what do I do from there? Thank you but SM almost expects users to be Technicians...user since 2007. Also 2.49.4 keeps hanging several times every day. I keep having to shut down and re-launch. Sometimes I just give up and us FF. I want to keep SM because I have my own domain and get my email there. Also many videos won't play in SM and I need to go to FF if I want to see them.
