blockage
I have Vista with SeaMonkey 2.24 (this problem has been present for quite a few versions prior). When I turn on the pc and load SeaMonkey, it goes to my homepage very promptly. However, when I click on a link from my homepage, the new page loads about 90 percent (the page is visible, but I can't scroll, or do anything else). It says it is waiting for xxx (this varies) and is frozen for anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes, then completes loading. Then the problem apparently resolves, and I can browse normally with no delay for the balance of my session. I don't have the problem on my other pcs (one with Vista and one with Windows7).

Browsing technique
Here is my problem: A number of sites (CNN.com in particular) are like an index in that they will contain a number of links to articles I want to read. Assume the links are to site A and site B. When I click on the link to site A the browser opens that site and I read the article; then I select back to go back to cnn.com and select the link to site B, but when the browser opens cnn.com, the link to site B is gone, having been replaced by a list of other links. I don't know how to find the link to site B, unless it makes another appearance. Usually these are just items of minor or temporary interest, so an internet search would not be an effective way to find the story, since I usually don't remember the name. Is there a technique in using SeaMonkey that will solve this problem? It would be nice if SeaMonkey had a tool that would open both sites A and B, perhaps in separate tabs, so I could read each site. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

An excellent point. We are constantly warned about using software from unknown sources, but for some reason Seamonkey updates come as unknown sourced software.

My experience is that there are very few Java applets left on the normal web. Most developers seem to have moved on to Flash or HTML5 presentation -- with of course the over-abundance of JavaScript we see every day. (Java and JavaScript are two entirely different things.) You can see a safe Java applet here. If your Java is enabled, the time display will tick-tock away; otherwise it's a static display: http://time.gov/timezone.cgi?Eastern/d/-5 So the answer is: unless you know of a specific web site(s) that actually do use Java applets, you can safely remove it - or at least disable it, possibly via the use of the PrefBar extension (also makes it easy to manage many other things, including en/disable JavaScript). http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org Now I'm puzzled. I went to the site you provided and got a static display. I then went to a site I use (washingtonpost.com, entertainment, crosswords, daily crossword, and it displayed a Java logo while loading, and advised that if it doesn't work, you should update to the current version of Java.

I saw a similar problem with a dial-up connection at Vanguard mutual funds. I wanted a form for converting part of an IRA to a Roth IRA. The PDF file was less than 500 KB but would stop at slightly over 200 KB. Nothing I did would result in the remaining file downloading. What was especially frustrating was that the form was only 8 pages out of 36 in the file -- 8 pages near the beginning of the file -- but the partially downloaded file could not be opened; the entire file had to download before I could open it. With a broadband connection, the problem went away. I suspect this is a server problem. The server might time-out without having sent all packets. Had no problem loading the Link (use PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert) Do have a 1mb synchronous DSL Line. I have cable. It downloads completely using IE on my computer, or Seamonkey on my wife's, but with Seamonkey on mine it consistently stops after downloading 818.51 KB of 1.57 MB. Is the PDF file opening with the same method between your wife's pc and yours ? I think about this: On one pc the pdf file is opened inside the SM screen. On the other pc, the pdf file is opened inside Acrobat Reader started by SM. The way of managing a pdf like this 2 possibilities is an option inside Acrobat Reader. I make SM to open pdf outside by acrobat and no problem Did you say that now your problem is solved ? no, that was not me. I suppose pdf take the same amount of cache regardless they are viewed in a window of SM or not I cleared the cache (under preferences, advanced, cache) and barred that site from setting cookies, but the problem remains. On my wife's computer, which works, the site opens as if it was another copy of seamonkey showing the pdf. I.e., at the top of the screen is a tab for seamonkey, and a tab for the pdf. On my computer, the pdf opens as if I had gone to another site. I.e., the pdf is the only open screen and to get back to seamonkey I just use the back key. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Open Adobe Reader. 2. On the menu bar, select [Edit Preferences]. 3. On the left side of the Preferences window under Categories, select Internet. 4. On the Internet pane, uncheck the Allow fast web view checkbox. 5. Select the OK button. I have NOT tried this. When I reached step #4, I noticed that the Connection speed selection indicated 56 Kbps, the speed of my dial-up connection. I changed that to 1 Mbps; my cable modem supports 1.4 Mbps. When I then went to view the hotel guide for Madrid, the entire page downloaded to SeaMonkey in one continuous operation, unlike the way it downloaded in my prior reply in this thread. You might try the lurker's solution, but I suggest you also check what Adobe Reader thinks is your connection speed. Thank you and the lurker. I made the changes to adobe reader (including the speed), then went to the site to check it.

Log in change
I use Seamonkey and currently have 2.0.10, with windows vista. Until the last few updates of Seamonkey, when I went to a site I had had Seamonkey remember the password, my id and password would be inserted with no action on my part. Then something changed and I had to enter the first letter of my id to get the memorized data. This was a little inconvenient (I have a lot of ids and tend to forget them), but I learned to live with it. I was also able to select remember me at the site, and I would be logged in already when I visited. Now remember me no longer works, so when I go to a site where I have asked to be remembered, I'm not, and I have to log in (Seamonkey does remember my data, if I can remember the first letter of my id. This hassle is happening on multiple sites; fodors.com for example. The sites do not appear to have changed anything (not that I could really tell), but that I am having this problem at many sites makes me think there has been some change in Seamonkey that prevents the remember me function from working. What can I do to get this to work? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Anyway, I got up this morning and decided to check my email before turning on the RavV, and there was email from cox saying that they had added ESPN360 to my package, so I went there, loaded their video player, and voila, they were showing the third race, which had been postponed a couple of hours because of light and variable winds, but said they were starting to pick up. The race soon started, and except for some rather major mistakes at the start, was well sailed. Alas, the US boat appeared to outperform the Swiss in every aspect, and won by a couple of miles. I don't really have a favorite, but I like tight racing and it doesn't look like this series will have any.

After posting my problem, I tried to email a friend and could not send email either. I have blundered into a solution. Because I use email daily, I was able to conclude that something I had done the day before was the likely cause. I am a fan of America's Cup racing, which is going on now. They don't televise it in my country, but they have a website that you can watch it on, if you install a program they offer: RayV video player, and I had installed it, and it worked well. After installation, when I boot, my FSAV reports that the RayV video player wanted to act as a server, which they indicated might not be a good idea, but I authorized it anyway. I didn't want to remove RayV until the regatta was over, so I rebooted and when FSAV asked if I would allow RayV to be a server, I said no. That solved the problem. So when the wind picks up and they start racing, I'll allow RayV to act as a server and do without email for a few hours, then reboot and not let it act as a server until the next race.

Re: test
I apologize for making the above post. In the past, when I travelled, I was unable to receive email or newsgroups directly. I had to go to the website of my provider and read email there, and just do without newsgroups. That was the status through years. Now I am away from home and was visiting a website when the email alert went off. It surprised me! I opened the news reader and somehow all my email was there. I have no idea whether this is due to a Seamonkey upgrade, or to something my ISP did. I went ahead and read my email, then read this newsgroup. I didn't look at the other newsgroup server I use for some other newsgroups. I was happy, because it is a lot easier to read news and mail here, than on my ISPs web page. To see if I could use the newsreader to send email, I sent the above to myself, and erroneously to this newsgroup. The email failed, but the newsgroup posting worked. This morning I tried to use my other newsgroup server, but was denied access as I needed a password. I'll look it up when I get home. But for now I can read email and read and post to this newsgroup, but cannot read or post in other newsgroups, nor send email from the reader, which I can work around by sending it from my ISPs web page.

Auto fill in SM 2.0
I'm not sure auto fill is the proper term. In prior versions of SM when I had to enter a username and password, it offered the option of saving them (except on some financial sites where that authors had apparently blocked it). When I next went to the site, the information was automatically entered, if I had authorized saving it. In SM 2, the information is not automatically entered until I put in the first letter of the user name, a minor hassle when one has multiple usernames, and not, in my opinion, an improvement. My real complaint, however, is that SM now is memorizing what I put into other fields, and I cannot find a way to control this. My aged fingers often make mistakes, and I now have about five versions of my address, one of which is spelled right, and anything else I have ever entered that has the first letter of my address: my user name, once I guess the right first letter, is an embarrassing litany of every misspelling I have made, and this apparently will keep growing like a cancer. So how can I delete the many misspellings and the extraneous words that pop up now, short of going back to an earlier version of SM?. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Updating bookmarks
I have Vista and SeaMonkey 1.1.17. Over the years, I have built up a collection of bookmarks organized by subject, which works for me, but makes it a bit difficult to find a specific bookmark by name, rather than by subject. I didn't bother with updating them, mostly because when I established one, there was no apparent way to set it up to update. Recently, when I manage a bookmark, I set it up to update late at night on a given day. Alas, the options to mark the icon when there is an update do not appear to work, or at least I cannot find any of these markings. Now I set them to notify me, but if I am not online when the check is run, I get no notice. Recently I got a laptop and as I travel a lot, I am often online when the update runs, and I get a slew of notices, but I can't find a way to OK them and have the bookmark updated, so I make a bookmark of the new site, but not knowing where I put the original bookmark, I end up with extras. I am wondering if there is a security reason that I would not want an old bookmark updated automatically, and if not, what would be the best way to have the bookmark automatically updated without interrupting my browsing, possibly annotating the bookmark that it was updated from XX on this date. So what is the most efficient way to keep bookmarks updated? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
