All I see is the buttons with a little square on it and then little letters, i.e.:E0 72, the numbers on each button being different. This is happening on every website I go to, I believe. When I restart SM in safe mode with my profile, this problem still occurs. When I restart SM in the default profile instead of my profile, the buttons appear properly.

TIA. Initially, popups (I almost typed poopups, which might be appropriate) were separate Web pages launched by scripts in the page you wanted to see. Today, many popups are artifacts of CSS, Flash, or scripts themselves (without launching anything). If they are from Flash, I strongly recommend Flashblock at http://flashblock.mozdev.org/. I normally run with this enabled. It allows me to display a Flash presentation by clicking an icon on the page containing Flash. If you know a page uses JavaScript for a popup, you can disable JavaScript. I have the PrefBar extension (from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/67148/) installed with a checkbox on the PrefBar toolbar for enabling and disabling JavaScript. It's very, very handy. I normally run with JavaScript enabled. However, when SeaMonkey seems to be operating strangely, I disable JavaScript; then, SeaMonkey usually returns to normal behavior. Similarly, I also have a checkbox on the PrefBar toolbar for enabling and disabling CSS. While disabling CSS strips away almost all formatting, a well-designed Web page should still have understandable content. As I mentioned, I have Flashblock. I also have PrefBar, but constantly needing to toggle JavaScript on off seems a bit impractical. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I don't see a change in the behavior. When a page loads that has a pop-up, I have assigned a pop sound and the highlighted exclamation point shows on the bottom toolbar. But then, if I should click anywhere on the page, the pop-up will open into a new tab, instead of remaining suppressed. This happens on almost all websites that use pop-ups. (Oftentimes, they will use Flash for these pop-ups, but the Flashblock extension disables it, so it only shows the F button.) Is there anything I can change to prevent the pop-ups from happening? You may stop interacting with the page but I don't think that's much useful for you. Unfortunately popups triggered from an interactive actions are not blocked, otherwise it would block all legitimate popups triggered explicitly by you. You may however try to blocking somewhat more (than the default setup) or most popups with the Edit - Preferences: Browser / Link Behavior settings: Open links meant to open a new window in: (x) The current tab/window When scripts want to open a new window: (x) Always divert windows into tabs The label for the later is somewhat confusing according the real preference documentation [1]: | 0 | Divert all links according to browser.link.open_newwindow. | This includes: | * All HTML links with target=_blank. | * All JavaScript calls to window.open(). That should mean no new windows/tabs could be created by web content - only explicitly by you (e.g. using Ctrl+N or Ctrl+T). Using the default value for the second option with the changed value for the first would also block more but no all of the popups (see what fits bets for you): Open links meant to open a new window in: (x) The current tab/window When scripts want to open a new window: (x) Don't divert custom windows into tabs The later really means: | 2 | Divert all links according to browser.link.open_newwindow, unless | the new window specifies how it should be displayed. | This includes: | * All links with target=_blank. | * JavaScript calls to window.open() without the features | parameter (3rd parameter). | This does not include: | * JavaScript calls to window.open() with the features | parameter (3rd parameter). This will eliminate more of the new windows, unless opened by scripts with features parameter. [1] http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction Thanks. I changed this setting from 0 to 2 in the config editor (about:config). So, now when a pop-up opens, it is in a new small window instead of another tab. I can close it with Alt-F4 on the keyboard instead of using the mouse. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Personal Toolbar Missing 2.3.2
M wrote: I've just downloaded Seamonkey 2.3.2 but have lost all the entries in my Personal toolbar from 2.0.14 Where are they and can I re-intall? M From the drop-down menu, you will see the folder, Personal Toolbar, at first with no bookmarks in it - you will have to manually move them from the old Personal Toolbar, when inside the Bookmarks Manager. If you right click on the new Personal Toolbar and select properties, it will show you the name, Bookmarks Menu, which cannot be changed. This should not be confused with the Bookmarks Menu shown in the Bookmarks Manager, which contains all of your saved bookmarks. If you select Manage Bookmarks from the drop-down menu, it will open the Bookmarks Manager. From there, the new Personal Toolbar is called the Bookmarks Toolbar. This cannot be changed either. So, the new Personal Toolbar now has three names, depending on where you look. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
