However I highly recommend that you *not* use version 13 on your linux machine - the interface is kludgy & unfinished and, missing many features (file transfer, messaging, etc., etc). Instead use version 12: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/previous-versions/ Linux (v12.0.90041): TeamViewer deb 32-Bit / 64-Bit Multiarch http://download.teamviewer.com/download/version_12x/teamviewer_i386.deb I recommend this version over the 'TeamViewer deb 64-Bit without Multiarch' version as you may run into dependency issues with this one on your system. Note: TV version 13 works fine (with full bells & whistles) on Windows. All versions are free for personal use. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

SeaMonkey as remedy for a {youtube|gmail|cookie|OAuth 2.0} problem?
My use of SeaMonkey dates from preferences evolved in Netscape days. My brother (using Firefox on Windows 10) for browsing and gmail has noticed recent problems. His problem description is anonymously viewing youtube videos triggers a burst of unsolicited emails. I'm a Linux user with no interest in videos and who avoids social media like the plague since contact with Facebook years ago. Thus I've no personal experience to help interpret his descriptions. I can not personally observe the problem as he lives 1000 miles away. A discussion on a user group with a Linux focus causes me to suspect a cookie problem. However I've just read an unrelated thread that briefly discussed OAuth 2.0 issues. I've just done a preliminary web search. A Wikipedia article causes suspicion that it may be part of the problem as some of its description jibes with some of the user group thread. I'm considering suggesting he replace Firefox with SeaMonkey because: 1. I'm familiar with it. 2. I suspect using SM's POP email client will give him a more comfortable experience. POP has the advantage over IMAP as it has option to delete emails from server as they are downloaded. The sync capability of IMAP is unnecessary as he has only one computer. 3. A simple cookie policy should remedy or prevent problems. Some questions: 1. Does SeaMonkey's OAuth 2.0 implementation make it simple to set allow/disallow connections easily? 2. Would a cookie policy session cookies only and no third party cookies be as useful for him as it has for me? 3. Have I missed anything?
