I don't know if v2.1+ has this problem too since I have not upgraded yet. :P Windows 7 Ultimate and SM 2.3.3 and Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110902 Firefox/6.0.2 SeaMonkey/2.3.3 as copied from Help about SM Appears to load page Ok. i.e. No error except that the page renders with lots of text overlaying itself and such like. Must be something in the way I have selected fonts preferences. I don't know where the advertise FireFox compatability switch is. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
