This is impacting more that SeaMonkey, I was unable to do so with the CURRENT

only assume that their snooping is not happy with linux browsers.


I assume that at some point I could spoof a user agent string that will make USPS 
happy, but this is getting ridiculous when current releases of major browsers are 
not being supported simply because they are linux releases.

For what it's worth, my UA string for USPS is spoofed as

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0

and when the same (red) message appears I click on "Read more" and it tells me I am 
virtuous and everything is ducky. No functional problems, but I haven't tried to do 
much on USPS lately.




Logged into my account using the string:

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 
SeaMonkey/2.49.4



On the line that says they are not going to support out of date browsers, I clicked 
on the "read more" line and got:



  Good news — your browser is up to date.

You can continue to access all USPS.com features with your current browser 
version.

Thank you for using USPS.com!

So it looks like they DO support SeaMonkey.

You'll need to reinstall Seamonkey under the new OS. If you want to keep your 
configuration as is:


* First, make a copy of the new installation's [whatever_name_it_is].default 
profile directory. You'll end up with a "[whatever_name_it_is].default - Copy" 
directory. This is insurance.


* Delete the entire contents of the new installation's profile directory.

* Go to the profile directory of the earlier, other-OS Seamonkey and copy the 
entire contents of that directory.


* Paste those contents into the new installation's now-empty profile directory.

You should now be back in business.



I am! Thanks guys!




Cool. :)

Same basic idea can be used for backing up and restoring SM configs to and from other 
directories/disks without using any special software.

Webmasters are not interested about SeaMonkey .. they ignore it and did not care 
about it.


My experience too. I'd point webmasters to someplace like geckoisgecko.org and they 
couldn't possibly have cared less.


What features does Seamonkey possess, precisely, that make it NECESSARY to tell them 
that it's Seamonkey, and not Firefox? If none, then it's just causing a lot of 
unnecessary trouble. The job of the UA string becomes to get our users in the door, 
and nothing else.


So, what is the latest FF version that SM can cover without technical hiccups? THAT 
should be our default UA string.

First string doesn't work, second does, here.



The Firefox browser works here. Y'all enjoy your problems.



Sure, everybody knows Firefox is where all the cool kids are. All those folks doing 
their best to steer clear must just be nuts.


For anyone wanting a simple mechanism for fixing Seamonkey's UA string problems, here 
is what the user.js file in my Profiles\[config_name].default directory now looks like:


user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "user.js load failed");
# user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; 
Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0");

user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "yes");

1st and last lines are per David Ross, to whom thanks.

No line break in the UA string for line 2. The '#' at the beginning of line 2 
comments out the rest of the line (eg, won't be executed, because it has already run 
successfully). User.js is run every time Seamonkey starts, and you can verify this by 
going to about:config. The first item will normally be "00_user.js.loaded" set to 
yes, meaning that your user.js was seen. With no line 2, or with line 2 commented 
out, nothing is actually added to prefs.js, and that's OK, it does no harm run 
"empty" and it gives you a permanent template in place ready for the next annoying 
website.


When you have an un-commented out line 2 such as:

user_pref("general.useragent.override.chase.com", "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; 
Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0");


where the chase.com can be replaced with any name of any other website giving you 
problems, that site will thereafter see only what you want them to see.

If an entry into user.js is not recognized by SeaMonkey as being valid,

Does anyone know for certain which Windows programs will work to edit and save

where I

The prefs.js file is plain ASCII text.  Unlike Daniel, I prefer always
using Wordpad.  I even set Wordpad as the default appplication for when
I select "Edit" on the context menu for all .js files.


So at least there's no need to worry about that. I can just right-click "Open with"

Thank you, I've saved this.

Does anyone know for certain which Windows programs will work to edit and save SM 
config files? And with what settings? Are they ASCII? ANSI? I figured that's where 
I went wrong, trying to edit prefs.js.


In the past, I'm sure I have used Notepad.exe to edit prefs.js ... and, if I had 
double clicked on a prefs.js that was too big for Notepad.exe to handle, Win7 had 
started Wordpad.exe instead!


Neat. It didn't occur to me to try Wordpad. Says how often I've used it. :/

I loaded prefs.js into Wordpad and thought "Omigosh, lookit all the formatting!" Not 
a problem, there's a save option for that. FC-ing the original with the saved copy 
says identical.


Same same for creating user.js ... which had to be located in the same 
directory/folder as prefs.js to be included into prefs.js.


Ha, I must have found the only reference that DIDN'T say to put it in the profile 
directory. That was that problem then.

If an entry into user.js is not recognized by SeaMonkey as being valid,
it will not appear in about:config.  This includes errors in syntax in
the setting, and also settings that are simply not recognized.  The
format for entries in user.js is the same as that for prefs.js.



To check whether SeaMonkey loaded all of user.js into prefs.js
successfully, insert
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "user.js load failed");
as the very first line of user.js and
user_pref("00_user.js.loaded", "yes");
as the very last line of user.js, all with SeaMonkey not running.  Note
that the semicolon (;) is required.

Then, launch SeaMonkey and enter about:config in the address area (URI
bar).  You should see
00_user.js.loaded   user set  string  yes
if the entire user.js file was okay.  If there was a problem, you will
instead see
00_user.js.loaded   user set  string  user.js load failed

This also works with Thunderbird and should work (but I have not tested
it) with Firefox.

Don't know why you are still using smtp.att.yahoo.com Just my 2 cents. However, 
it may not have
anything to do with your problem


Because no one ever told me that. And I don't know either.


Also POP3 is incoming.att.net  It was covered here:

Frank-Rainer Grahl's suggestion worked today with the smpte server. It was a SM

I just tried to reinstall 2.48, but the problem persisted for me.


I am still on 2.48, and had to add gmail outgoing smtp info and delete the 
outbound.att.net.  Google sent me messages that (1) someone tried to access and 
I got an error message and to allow access to less secure apps and then when I 
allowed it (2) got another message that access for less secure apps has been 
turned on and telling me it will be easier to break into my account and I could 
undo the change and switch to apps made by google such as Gmail.  I am going to 
try to go back to 2.49.2 and see if they get over the insecurity issue, but 
regardless, it got rid of the random punctuation!!  Thanks to everyone and 
let's hope that 2.49.3 resolves the issue.



If you get a gmail warning for something you've just done intentionally, it's 
generally okay to just say yes and let it pass.


Frank-Rainer Grahl's suggestion to go to about:config and toggle mail.strictly_mime 
to true in 2.49.2 does seem to work with the spurious characters and I can also 
switch between smtpe servers and have it stick. I'm also reading in this thread that 
yahoo may have just changed its settings. So I don't actually know... :P

Ditto.

Unfortunately it typically doesn't crash, it just freezes so no new
crash reports are generated.

My last crash on 2.49.1 was on 11/15 & that was caused by
hang | NtUserMsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx | user32.dll@0x5d3ed
That seems to have been caused by a plugin:
plugin (web) Foxit PhantomPDF Plugin for Mozilla Version: 2.2.7.818
Filename: npFoxitPhantomPDFPlugin.dll
Which was removed following the crash. SM 2.49.1 Windows has frozen at
least 4 times since. When I look at the Windows task manager it just
shows 'Not Responding'.

I'll see if I can get some repeat site/page to troubleshoot... in the
interim it's Thunderbird & Other Browser time (on Windows - linux is
just fine) until I can figure out the issue. Thanks for all the responses.

Yes, although I can't come up with anything specific in the way of configuration or 
actions to blame for it. Activity grinds to a halt, the twirly twirls, and 
memory/cpu activity shoots up and stays there. The window "whites out". Not blank, 
just a change in saturation, let's say, to let you know you're screwed. And after 
you force-kill SM it can take some time for it to take the hint.

I switched from Adrian's 2.51 to the released 2.49.1 and on multiple
occasions I've had 2.49.1 freeze on me on Windows (Win 10 - 16GB memory,
same profile that I've been using for years & no, I've not tried with a
new profile yet). It typically happens just when I need it most...
online order checkout, preparing to send important email etc. Note: I've
not experienced the same on the linux version of 2.49.1

Have anyone else had SM 2.49.1 (Windows) freeze on them?




Yes, although I can't come up with anything specific in the way of configuration or 
actions to blame for it. Activity grinds to a halt, the twirly twirls, and memory/cpu 
activity shoots up and stays there. The window "whites out". Not blank, just a change 
in saturation, let's say, to let you know you're screwed. And after you force-kill SM 
it can take some time for it to take the hint.

I fail to see where I was "keen on" any changes. I was confirming and commenting on a

Seamonkey does care - for obvious reasons.

How I solved this in Windows 2.46:

Go to Edit > Preferences > Browser > Internet Search

Click on Manage Search Engines...

Delete every option but your search engine of choice in the pick-list. That engine 
will be the new default.


Clicking on Restore Defaults, afterwards, will restore the list but won't change the

Edmund,

A good explanation.

So, here's my question: Are there any Gecko alternatives out there that

There are a few Gecko alternatives out there (Blink, Webkit, just to
name two that I've heard of..  then we come to the murky-i-don't-know
territory that is Trident et. al).  However, changing our interfaces
from Gecko to use anything else is just as difficult to do (and dare
I say, impossible given our resources (or lack thereof)).

And anyway, in this day and age,  we live in an ever-changing
environment and thusly the backend would tend to change accordingly.
(There is a reason for it being called 'rapid release').



Because I don't like the impression I'm getting that the slope is rising
and that the trend is not in our favor!


The slope has ALWAYS been rising and until we find more resources to
flatten this slope by brute force *grin*, it's gonna be that way.

Okay, understood. Significant changes would likely mean a new project, with for-real

pressures to end support for Win 7 - we'll see)



If SM stops supporting 7 they definitely won't like what happens. At the moment SM is 
a seemingly threadbare project with some demand (judging by posts) for new versions. 
Cancel 7 support and what you'll see is a threadbare project with echoes where the 
user base used to be. It will be years (say, 2020) before 7 ceases being a 
significant OS.


Speaking for myself, too much hardware and software I have no intention of rebuying 
dies past 7 for lack of support.

Why bother updating?
Just change your UA:

If only the devs knew this, imagine all the trouble they could save!


My 2.26.1 should work well past 2020.
My computers don't get mal stuff.  Never have.
Don't have any virus shields either.  Waste of resources.
The NSA will get in no matter what version of SM you have.

Yah, I do a full scan once per week on all the machines with an anti-vir

a Linux boot CD scanner and anti-root kitter.
So far, any strangeness has been by my own doing!

Which fucntions were those?



A few things with respect to the HTML emails: keyboard cursor functions. Press 
PageDown, for instance, or CTRL_PageDown, and it can leap to the top (or anyplace), 
and not that predictably. It seems to depend on the material.


In 2.26.1, when you double-clicked on a graphic, a window opened that let you change 
things concerning that graphic. Dimensions, proportions, spacing on whichever sides, 
links, and so on. In the later Windows versions I've tried all that's gone. Now it's 
mousing all the way, through layers of menus to accomplish the same things.


Features might theoretically still be there, but are just too exasperating to put up 
with when there's an alternative that's faster.

Works fine for me in SeaMonkey 2.33.1 on Windows.

 From other posts in this thread, it appears that those reporting problems are 
using
2.26.1, and those with newer versions don't see a problem. Perhaps it's time to
upgrade. If there is a problem in SeaMonkey 2.26.1, it's not going to be fixed
without upgrading to a newer version anyway.

I have noticed that some other sites with coding errors are handled better in 
newer
versions of SeaMonkey.

Mark.



Cleft stick, gaining one thing to lose another. Specifically, I'm obligated to 
compose frequent HTML emails, and SM's editor in versions after 2.26.1 are trashed, 
just a hair above completely unusable.

Well, SeaMonkey isn't a Mozilla product, just one that is based on

I am duly reassured. :/



OK they lie. Plugin check works with Thunderbird, but it is a Mozilla
product.



Being disavowed is sort of like being special, I suppose.


There's a difference between a Product and a Project.  SeaMonkey and 
Thunderbird
are now Mozilla projects, not products.  Meaning, they are getting some 
support
from Mozilla but are not getting programmers.



Or access to common features such as the plugin check. Yes, a lack of resources is 
noticeable in comparison to years past. I can only imagine how it is compared to FF 
or TB, since I don't use them.

Lately the Mozilla plugin check has been confused and confusing:
some plugins that are up to date according to their publishers are

gives? Did Mozilla suddenly abandon this and quit managing it?


It's a non-trivial task keeping the list updated but your first
example shows they are keeping it current.


Examples:

Adobe Shockwave Flash 16.0.0.287 is listed as potentially
vulnerable and I'm advised to update, but this is the current
version.


Just checking if you've got the latest version available for
download isn't good enuf :(


It's all a user can do, ain't it? -- At least a user who's unwilling to
let software update itself automatically without asking. But thanks for
the heads-up.


http://helpx.adobe.com/security/products/flash-player/apsa15-01.html

Users who have enabled auto-update for the Flash Player desktop
runtime will be receiving version 16.0.0.296

Adobe expects to have an update available for manual download during
the week of January 26


OK, let's see when the week of January 26 begins at Adobe.


Adobe Acrobat 10.X (in my case, 10.1.13.16) has been listed as out of
date for years, but there are no updates available (unless I want to
shell out hundreds of dollars for a version upgrade -- any reason to do
that?).


Adobe security bulletins are at http://helpx.adobe.com/security.html


OK, thanks.


The famous Java Runtime Environment is suddenly up to date and green
although it's blocked as unsafe. Hunh?


JRE has had a pretty bad security record lately.  The latest version
probably is unsafe.


Yep, I know from about:addons. So why's it up to date and green here?
Not the same treatment as for Flash, which is also vulnerable but not
updateable.


All these are unknown:

Windows Activation Technologies (v. 7.1.7600.16395)
VLC Web Plugin v. 2.1.3.0 as discussed here at length
Adobe Shockwave for Director v. 12.1.6.156
Microsoft Office 2010 v.14.0.4730.1010
Windows Live Photo Gallery v. 15.4.3538.513

The last two have been unknown for years but the other three are new
additions to the list.


uhmm... seems to me that if they're new additions then clearly mozilla
hasn't abandoned the plugin check.


Really? Shockwave for Director is suddenly unknown after all these
years? Did something break between here and Adobe?

Doesn't look to me like they're maintaining it if the Office 2010 and
Windows Live Photo Gallery plugins have been unknown for three years.


I updated Flash on Saturday to 296 a few moments after Adobe announced the new
version.  Here's where you should be updating Flash:

http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

For IE 10 and 11 you go here (if Microsoft wakes up and patches):

https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2755801


Thanks for those links. I had something similar bookmarked that I used for years, but 
they started giving 404s a while back.


I don't know why Adobe prefers updating to be so convoluted.

I've been using 2.30 for less than a day, but my experience has been that it's 
actually better with passwords than 2.26.1 (I never installed 2.29) and earlier 
versions. It's now asking and inserting passwords for websites that I'd given up on 
years ago. Amazing.


User string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 SeaMonkey/2.30

Using nVidia driver 7.8.760.

Add-ons installed are:

Adblock Plus 2.6.4
Checkplaces 2.6.1 (obsolete)
Download Youtube Videos as MP4 1.7.28

Not enough experience, yet, to judge other aspects of SM 2.30. So far I'm 
liking it.

Better that 2.26.1 -- with or without the remember passwords add-in? If it 
behaves
as well as 2.26.1 with that enabled I will be a very happy camper.  I guess I 
will
find out when it hits ubuntuzilla.


Without. But I get the impression from what I read here that a lot will depend on 
your hardware/drivers (and likely as not other things I have no clue about).

Cross Posted to all Groups

To All of you Seamonkey VOLUNTEERS:

Thank you for everything that you do for our growing community.

Thank you for listening to our bitches and moans.

Thank you for staying up late, hammering out all those lines of code.

Thank you for getting up early and working on the bugs that get reported.

Thank you for trying to work in our wishes for improvements on the next build 
or three.

Thank you for treating our on-line browsing security as your own, and giving us 
free
of charge a functioning suite that we call Seamonkey.

Thank you for building Seamonkey for Unix, Lynix, Solaris, Windows, Unbunto, 
and all
of the other OS out there that you do.

Thank you for trouble shooting in the newsgroup.

In short, Thank you for being you.  Without you, we the users would be stuck 
with
something other than the great work that is Seamonkey, that is a little piece 
of all
of you.

With much appreciation, and not a single complaint or question.

THANK YOU,

Eric Gunn
Proud User of Seamonkey Suite.



I'll fourth that!

Seamonkey asks for mail password when I try to send an e-mail even tho pass word
manager has it .
  This is using smtp.att.yahoo.com and my sbcglobal account


Same version if I use gmail server with gmail account e-mail.. password is not 
asked for


This all started with the ugrade to 2.26.1prior to that all was fine .


Same here, but I still get through by clicking 'Retry' as many times as 
necessary.

I assumed this was just SBC/Yahoo being annoying (yet again!)

Hi,
My husband and I just switched from outlook Express to SeaMonkey for our email
client.  What I didn't realize (He did) was that the SeaMonkey browser would be
included in the download.

I  have the Firefox browser as my default and want to keep it that way, 
especially
for any links that I click on in my emails.

Is there any way I can have Firefox and not SeaMonkey come up when I click on 
links
in my emails?  I'd appreciate any help you can give here.

Thanks,
Joyce Greer


Go to Firefox preferences, where there should be a button for making Firefox 
your
default browser. I don't have it installed on this computer so I can't tell you 
the
precise location.

Then, start Seamonkey Mail, go to

Edit-Preferences-Mail  Newsgroups

and on the right side you'll see buttons for making Seamonkey your default for 
mail
and news(groups).


The problem here is that clicking links in mail, RSS, etc. will open SeaMonkey
windows rather than Firefox windows. Unless the user is willing to drag links 
onto
Firefox all the time, there's precious little reason to suggest using SeaMonkey 
for
mail and Firefox for web. When using Firefox, Thunderbird makes a better mail, 
news
and RSS choice. IMO, YMMV and all that.



I wasn't suggesting anything except how she could accomplish what she stated she 
wished to do.

My modem (thompson tg782t) seemed to go bung (some sort of hub problem

years successfully,But not this time.
After setting up it asks for password but rejects it.


Was this you manually typing a password or SM using an existing stored password? If 
the latter, your stored password might have become corrupted.



I then set up IE,Outlook express (which I don't normally use )using same
inputs,names etc and the mail and newsgroups work perfectly with the same
password(so I know the password is correct)
So the problem seems to be between telstra,modem and sea monkey.
I have been on to telstra, even using logmein but they know nothing about
seamonkey but we proved mail works with outlook.
Can the modem reject sea monkey but allow IE and outlook to work?
can telstra not work with seamonkey but allow outlook?
