Thank you; I could well have changed it inadvertently. I have indeed now changed the app associated with file to nautilus.

(sorry if this is a duplicate posting - my first attempt seems not to have taken...) 1. I was having the problem with the built-in download manager. 2. I've now installed the Jökulsárlón extension and confirm that I have the same symptoms with it: I right click a downloaded file and select open containing folder, but Seamonkey instead attempts to launch my pdf document viewer (regardless of the file type / helper application). I've disabled / reenabled the extension with the same result. -- Rob Lindauer ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Best regards, Tony. -- Men's skin is different from women's skin. It is usually bigger, and it has more snakes tattooed on it. Also, if you examine a woman's skin very closely, inch by inch, starting at her shapely ankles, then gently tracing the slender curve of her calves, then moving up to her ... [EDITOR'S NOTE: To make room for news articles about important world events such as agriculture, we're going to delete the next few square feet of the woman's skin. Thank you.] ... until finally the two of you are lying there, spent, smoking your cigarettes, and suddenly it hits you: Human skin is actually made up of billions of tiny units of protoplasm, called cells! And what is even more interesting, the ones on the outside are all dying! This is a fact. Your skin is like an aggressive modern corporation, where the older veteran cells, who have finally worked their way to the top and obtained offices with nice views, are constantly being shoved out the window head first, without so much as a pension plan, by younger hotshot cells moving up from below. -- Dave Barry, Saving Face ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
