However Chrome would work, too. I just don't know how to redirect the browser when I click on the link. Thanks. Ken, Try this. I'm using Windows 10, SM 2.53.3 1. Make Firefox your default browser, from Firefox and in Windows default programs. Reboot computer. 2. In SM check Edit/Preferences/Browser, Default browser. Make sure SM is not your default browser. 3.In SM browser, go to about:config. Search for network.protocol-handler.external.http. If it exists, set it to false. If it doesn't exist, create it as a boolean and set it to false. 4. Do the same as step 3 for network.protocol-handler.external.https. 5. Still in about:config, search for network.protocol-handler.warn-external.mailto and set it to false. If it doesn't exist, create it as a boolean and set it to false. 6. Close SM and reboot computer. *sigh*. Neither *.http or *.https exists in my config file. I suppose I could figure out how to create them as a boolean since years ago I did futz around with the config file per a suggestion on this newsgroup. However, nowadays my computer savvy is not as effective as it once was; so I'll just have to continue with my practice of copying and pasting the links into Firefox by hand. Anyway, congratulation to you for succeeding and thanks for the hint! Ken, Don't give up just yet. Here's how to create a new config preference. 1. In SM browser, put about:config in address bar, hit enter 2. Right click anywhere in list of preferences 3. Select New, then Boolean 4. Enter preference name, i.e. network.protocol-handler.external.http, then click OK 5. In the popup window "Enter boolean value", select false, click OK. 6. Repeat steps 2-5 until all preferences entered. 7. Reboot. Lance ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Progress Window Mockups

Currently it's consistent in that the twisties on the right of the file name and source hostname indicate that you can use the left mouse button (twisties always work like that). If you switched to the right mouse button for opening the menu then the twisties would have to go (because they inherently say left click me [1] but that would do nothing then) and be replaced by something else that indicated that a context menu is available (replacing it by nothing is not really an option because a simple string doesn't indicate that a context menu is available). There's truth in that, I was completely missing that twisties were added, those were/are not existing in the current stable release. Basically I agree that the open/launch action should be triggered by a double click, though. I'd just go another way by providing a visual representation of the finished download through the system icon matching the download file type. See bug 513691 comment 80. Hum, interesting approach. I'm wondering is the masses recognize that as clickable without an open/execute writing. Can't make up my mind though... regards What's a twistie?

Stay tuned to this channel for news of when a good version comes out. Jack I'm afraid you're wrong there. The problem the OP posted was one of a problem profile migration. That is not a flaw in the program itself, but in the migration process. That is not going to improve. Anyone who is waiting for an improved migration tool is going to have a long wait. In fact, the profile migration will probably go away entirely, though that will be a while. The real answer is to migrate the data manually. It may be a pain but once its done its done, and you willbe positioned to move on. Yes, we all hope that there will be many improvements to the suite, but an improved migration tool, probably not. Lee After many failed profile migration attempts, I discovered the key is to change the program group that SM is installed in. Instead of accepting the default Seamonkey, I changed it to Seamonkey2. Migration proceeded normally, and all my profile settings, email, passwords, etc. were carried over. Plug-ins and extensions were lost and had to be manually re-installed.

SM Stopped asking for passwords
SM 2.02 Win XP Pro SP3 Add-ons: Adblock plus, Autofill forms, CutCopyPaste, Fire FTP, No Squint, PrefBar, Sea Tab X, Stylish Problems: 1. When I go to sites that ask for a user ID or password that is new, SM has stopped asking to remember it. Preferences/Privacy Security/Passwords/Remember passwords is checked. No master password. 2. Sometimes SM will automatically fill in the ID and password, sometimes I have to type the first letter of the User ID and select the correct one from a drop-down list, and sometimes I have to type the whole User ID before the password is automatically filled in. Is this normal? Password file was imported by SM when I upgraded from SM 1.1.8 TIA Lance ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Multiple profiles in different user areas Win XP
I have not been able to keep up with this forum for 3 months, so please excuse the repetition if the question has been answered. Has the problem of upgrading from SM 1.18 to 2.2 with multiple profiles in different user areas in Win XP Pro been solved? Last time I tried to upgrade to SM 2.0 the profiles never upgraded right, and it took me hours to uninstall 2.0 and reinstall 1.8. I don't want to do that again.

When KaiRo gets back from his holiday, we will re-look at the situation. Basically Mozilla itself had abandoned the Gecko 1.8.1 platform some time ago but we were still getting some security fixes from Linux vendors who continued to upstream their fixes for a while. This seems to have dried up. We are trying to get a reply from the contact representing the consortium of Linux vendors that have long lived stable branches to see how much longer they will maintain this Gecko branch or if it has been abandoned completely. Unfortunately I fear that the latter is the case. Phil So were stuck with this ver 2, reminds me of a problem we had with a Netscape version way back, also a ver 2 I think or was it ver 3? Netscape lost a great deal of support and ground to ie after that particular disastrous version. Does anyone know of another Browser suite that allows multiple profiles? SM 2.0 allows multiple profiles - they've just hidden the Profile Manager without telling anyone...like with a few other features. Select Switch Profiles after opening SM 2.0, and you'll get the Profile Manager. Once you have more than one, it will come up by default at launch. I spent a week trying to recover my multiple profiles and eventually gave up, how can the developers of sm not see this as an issue and have something in the new version to take care of this? or at the very least warn users of this ISSUE and it is an issue, they really must be stupid. I take it the developers are either Linux users or act like Linux users such egg heads that they believe they are too smart for those of us unable to code! Well, I have sm at multiple sites and will certainly not be upgrading to ver2 and if I can find an alternate multi profile system I will, even if it means moving to the dreaded ie engine perminantly. I using SeaMonkey 2 on Windows XP SP2. I installed it one evening and went to bed. After breakfast the next morning, I migrated my primary profile and three others successfully. No, the instructions for migrating profiles were not as clear as they should be. But installing SeaMonkey 2 in a different location than SeaMonkey 1.1.18 was important. Backing-up my SeaMonkey 1.1.18 before installing SeaMonkey 2 proved to be important (primarily because, at first, I tried installing SeaMonkey 2 directly over SeaMonkey 1.1.18). After installation, I found that I had to review about:config for SeaMonkey 2 to correct preferences that pointed to my local files. They had to point to the SeaMonkey 2 files instead of SeaMonkey 1.1.18 files. I also had to set some preference variables in user.js in my SeaMonkey 2 profiles because of open bug reports #526399 and #338549, but I already had entries in user.js for SeaMonkey 1.1.x bugs. Finally, I submitted a few bug reports of my own; but I've submitted many such reports against SeaMonkey 1.1.x. Now, I'm using SeaMonkey 2. I found that I needed one less extension because that extension's capabilities were better implemented in the basic SeaMonkey. I found that the long-awaited Web fonts capability had been implemented. And I found a number of old bugs that I had been tracking are now closed, not merely because they were asserted to be closed but as a result of my own testing. I will likely remove SeaMonkey 1.1.18 in about a month. I've used it only to check to see if certain SeaMonkey 2 anomalies also existed in SeaMonkey 1.1.18.

Personaly if the SM 2 Bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525601 is not solved SM2 is *not* better. The grass may seem greener on the other side of the fence, but if you start to climb the fence and in the process cut yourself, tear your clothes, scrape your knee and sprain your ankle, and then get stuck just before reaching the top and have to painfully climb back down, the crossing may not be worth it. That's how I feel after trying to migrate 3 separate profiles in 3 separate user areas of Win XP. Then to hear that you can't cut paste within SM3 - all of a sudden there are a lot of brown patches on that grass. I'm really disappointed in SM's install implementation and Robert Kaiser's attitude (Almost all of the problem are migration problems only... as if they were insignificant.) I've never had as much trouble upgrading a program as I've had going from SM 1.8 to 2.0. And I've been a faithful user since Mosaic and Navigator. I'm going to forgo all the supposed wonderful goodies on the other side of that fence and wait until SM 2.0.1 makes it possible to get there without a trip to the hospital or a degree in computer science. Lance First of all, see my response to Ray, the copy/paste problem is far from a universal one. Most users find it works without issue. I have no problem with it at all, in either Mac OS or XP. As far as ptofile migration, either you people have short memories, or, more likely, you are just not as old as me. I remember clearly when Firefox 0.9 was released. FF stored its profile in a completely new location (actually similar to where SM is placing it now). There was an Import Wizard that was to move the profile data to this new location. Same deal, for some people it worked, for some it didn't. Those of us who were testing beta's knew it was coming. For those who didn't, the uproar was incredible. The number of people who swore that they would never move on, they would never upgrade, was, well, similar to what we see here, if not worse. Well, of course they did, and now FF is the most popular of the alternative browsers. I know, we are talking five years ago, and a product that had not reached 1.0 status. Still it is an analogous situation. FF 0.9 probably had more users then SM 1.1.x has now. Yet all their profiles had to be fairly recent, and still they had problems. SM 1.x was an already old and creaky base of code. It was released to save the program. It was to benefit the oldline users of Netscape and Mozilla Suite. Many of their profiles were converted from Communicator, and then used through any number of different programs and versions. They are going to have problems, and probably need to be rebuilt. Maybe the reason that I had little problem with the conversion is that I tend to play fast and loose with my profiles, for testing purposes. I rebuild them periodically, just to keep them cleaned up. Profile migration is unlikely to improve in future point releases, which will contain security related changes. Waiting for 2.0.1 is unlikely to be the answer. As I recall, didn't Robert post in this group that 2.1 would probably not migrate profiles? Certainly no answer there. So folks, you are left with two choices. Either bite the bullet now, or stay with 1.1.18. If you stay with 1.1.18, you are staying with a dead end, it won't be updated. Sooner or later, you are either going to have to go the new SeaMonkey, or find other options entirely. Either way you are going to have move your data somehow. If you choose to stay with SeaMonkey 2.0, and migrate your data manually, once its done its done, and you are ready for the new world. If you need help doing so, help is available here. If not, I hope you have the best of luck with wherever you choose to go. Lee Lee: Bite the bullet and do what? Nothing that has been suggested here for migrating profiles from different user areas has worked for me.

Multiple profiles horrors
Win XP SP3 I too tried to install SM2 with multiple profiles. Machine has 3 users. Did not uninstall SM 1.18 first. Administrator installed and migrated correctly. User 1 had no profile. Use of manually starting profile migration for User 1 as suggested did not start import wizard, just normal first SM screen. I created a profile for user 1 and successfully manually migrated emails and newsgroup settings, but not the address books yet. But I can't get the user 1 SM to ask to remember passwords, so I can use the .s and .w files it creates to manually migrate the old password files. This is a nightmare. Should I start over, reinstall SM 1.18, uninstall SM 2.0 or what? How do I manually migrate other profiles if the -migrate command procedure doesn't work?

As i understand you have now a working profile for user 1, but without the former passwords. And on the old profile there is anumbers.s and anumbers.w. These two files needs to be copied to the new profile. And in this one the Pref signon.SignonFileName must point tonumbers.s and the Pref wallet.SchemaValueFileName must point tonumbers.w. In prefs.js. Also delete all traces of signon* in the new profile. After starting SM2 a signons3.txt and a signons.sqlite should be automatically created. The signons3.txt is nice because it is a pure text file which can be viewed, but the signons.sqlite is the file which will be used for the passwords. One caveat: i never used a master password.
