choose option to start seamonkey online or offline
I can't for the life of me find the option to set the startup online/offline mode for Seamonkey 2.40 (and all previous versions.) I'm setting up some laptops and have looked through Preferences too many times to continue that vain search.

Adobe PDF Viewer Addon - Same question for Shockwave Flash AND Fox-It
OK, I'm doing some serious housekeeping in my Addons area. I tried to open an eGreeting card and just getting a black screen where a something (a video?) should be. Shockwave shows the same error in the Addon page. Is it them (rather than SM) also? Is there a Shockwave/Flash alternative? And Fox-It seems to be the same, but different because I can't even find it in three pages of addon search for fox-it. This message when trying to Update Shockwave Flash: *Flash Player Plugin 10.2.* and lower (click-to-play)* has been blocked for your protection. Why was it blocked? Old versions of the Flash Player plugin are potentially insecure and unstable. All users are strongly recommended to check for updates at our plugin check page http://www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/. Who is affected? All users who have these versions of the Flash plugin installed in *Firefox 18* and above. *(BTW, How do Firefox and Seamonkey version numbers compare for currency?)* What does this mean? The problematic add-on or plugin will be automatically disabled and no longer usable. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Adobe PDF Viewer Addon
Paul, *Update Now* gave me the error page that I quoted. That's why I'm so confused. There seems to be no straightforward and productive route to a workable addon. I'd like to hear details from those who have a working system. In the end, all I really have to do is download the PDFs and view them in my standalone viewer installation. But, it's the principle of the thing: I'd just like a browser with addons that work. Paul B. Gallagher wrote: Version 9.5.1. is nowhere near the latest version. The current version is Version XI (11.0.04): http://get.adobe.com/reader/. You would be have been taken there if you had clicked Update Now. The date October 5, 2012 is when the block was imposed.

Adobe PDF Viewer Addon
Can someone explain the following page for me? I get it when I click on the message on the Plugins tab of about:addons. Adobe Acrobat is known to be vulnerable and should be updated _*Update Now_* *Adobe Reader 9.5.1 and lower* has been blocked for your protection. Why was it blocked?

LastPass addon ...
LastPass addon hasn't worked since SM ver. 1.15.1. I'dlike to upgrade SM but I like LPso I haven't yet. Last time this happened, it was ironed out a short time after SM's 1.15.1 version came out. I don't know which app to blame; all I know is that SM reports that LP is incompatible.

can't load new version
I don't know which older version you were using, but you have to COMPLETELY remove (uninstall) Version 1 of Seamonkey before installing Version 2. Versions 1 and 2 are incompatible. Even if you install them into different locations, there are some common file locations that will overlap and cause conflicts. I would even look in /Program Files/ and /Document and Settings/.../Application Data/ to be sure there aren't any residual configuration files left behind. Subject: Can't load new version From: Gary F. Pitel rd...@comcast.net Date: Tue, 06 Jul 2010 12:12:50 -0400 To: support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org I had an older version of SeaMonkey installed and it told me that the folder was full that I had to delete some files and compact the folder which I did. However, after I did that it still kept saying the same thing. I thought I would just load the latest version of SeaMonkey which I did and that would correct the problem. So I did that and it asked me if I wanted to load that version now and I said yes. It never launched so I clicked on the desk icon and it wouldn't launched from that either. I went to the installation folder where it is installed it shows the icon (SeaMonkey.exe) with a date from the old installation and not a date of this installation. However there are other folders there that show today's date on them so I know there was an installation that took place. What is going on and how do I fix the problem? I also clicked on the icon (SeaMonkey.exe) in this folder and it didn't launched the program. This icon has the old installation date and not the new installation date. I tried to do a new installation and that didn't make any difference. PS I don't want to lose my existing emails or folders in correcting this problem if at all possible. Right now I have nothing in the way of SeaMonkey. Thanks ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

When I use Firefox 3.6, I don't get the error, although I have the same certificates setup. Any hint regarding the cause ? anything I can do to avoid this issue ? Thanks for the help Dom, (and yes, I must be brave at heart to use the nightlies for my work:-) ) Mmm, I guess a little goolging never hurts: https://developer.mozilla.org/NSS_3.12.5_release_notes All SSL3/TLS renegotiation is disabled by default in NSS 3.12.5, which is used in bleeding-edge Mozilla stuff... Good to know... Is there a way to disable this feature for a domain, a destination ? temporarily ? I see there that If an application depends on renegotiation feature, it can be enabled by setting the environment variable NSS_SSL_ENABLE_RENEGOTIATION to 1. By setting this environmental variable, the fix provided by these patches will have no effect and the application may become vulnerable to the issue. How can I set this environment variable ? is there a preference to set inabout:config ? thanks to all (and thanks to all the developers for Seamonkey !!) Dominique Environment variables are set outside of SeaMonkey. How/where you set them depends on your operating system. For example, if you're running Windows/XP, one way is to right click on the My Computer desktop icon and select Properties. Then click on the Advanced tab, then the Environment Variables button. On this page, you can set the Environment variable for the logged-in user, or for all users (system variables). Note that if you set it for the logged-in user, you may need to log out and back in for the setting to take effect. Best Regards, My reply: I posted a question several days ago about my SSL proxy function not working properly. I use a proxy accelerator for my dialup connection. Even though I have the SSL set in the Advanced section, I still get a proxy error when visiting secure sites. I have to set SSL sites as No proxy for: in the proxy settings rendering them non-accelerated. Is there a WindowsXP environment variable that addresses general SSL connections other than the SSL renegotiation variable mentioned above? And where can I find a listing of WindowsXP environment variables so I am sure to use the correct coding? Perhaps this is the solution to my problem until SM comes out with an update that fixes this. I am downloading ver. 2.0.3 as we speak and maybe this will offer some relief. Any comments appreciated. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Somewhat afraid to make the change from 1.1.8 to new SeaMonkey
I rushed into ver.2 without unistalling ver.1.18 or learning about any installation procedures or command line parameters and royally screwed things up. I had to reinstall WinXP because of disk file errors. I routinely reinstall XP anyway so it wasn't a super big deal, but I lost all my address book entries and bookmarks and had to redownload months of emails from the server. Now I'm using ver.2 and am not happy with all the bugs. Not sure whether to stick with Seamonkey or shift over to Firefox or Opera and Thunderbird. For the moment I'm just hanging in there on the hope that SM2 will eventually even out. And that's assuming that it will be supported adequately by most websites. I'd be glad to hear what others are planning to do in this uncertain situation. Mark Hansen wrote: SeaMonkey will make sure no other instances are running, to make sure you don't hurt yourself. However, you can run SM 2.X while an instance of SM 1.1.X is running, by passing a special command-line parameter - which I'm drawing a blank on at the moment. Perhaps someone else will chime-in and provide it. It's something like --no-remote (I think). Close, it's -no-remote (only one leading minus) actually.;-) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Proxy settings in V.2.0.2
I've just started reading about people's bad experiences with SM2. The unkillable thing happened to me, but I clicked the icon again and it worked OK the second time. My problem involves proxy settings. I have a dialup connection with a proxy accelerator. The proxy address is localhost or 127.0.0.1 with a port value of 5403. Normally, the accelerator software makes all the proper settings when it is installed, but I started having problems reaching certain sites. I realized that it was SSL (https:) sites that weren't working. All the settings under Preferences/Proxy/Advanced were as they should be and I tried many different combinations of the settings with no success. I am temporarily using the No Proxy for field to exclude SSL sites I need to visit, but would like to have acceleration for them and will soon get tired of entering new URLs into the exclusion box. Any thoughts, solutions or explanations? Thanks ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Default Search Enging choices
I would like to know if there's any way to add more search engines to the meager list of only 3 that Seamonkey provides: Ask Jeeves, dmoz.org and Google. It has been this way for years and (unless I'm missing something) this seems like such an oversight not to have more choices or to have a function to be able to add more manually. Is there maybe a plug-in that covers this? I'd like to add Bing to the list instead of having to pull up the site manually each time. - Peter A. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
