Welcome to the wonderful world of over-protecting users.  See the
following bug reports, none of which seem to have much support among
developers:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545498
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548380
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558222



It appears this worked for me:

What is the value of browser.xul.error_pages.enabled in about:config?
If it is true, as is default in Firefox, an SSL error on a full page or
frame should give an error page with an Add Exception button instead
of a pop-up.

Mine was user set as false and changing it to true gave me the add
exception button.

I can't thank you enough for pointing me to the bug reports where I
could finally find out how to over-ride this setting.



As I pointed out in bug #548380, the preference variable
browser.xul.error_pages.enabled controls too many unrelated error
situations.  I prefer to leave it false so that an invalid domain causes
an error popup instead of a new error page.



It was the only way I found to be able to view the web page I was being
denied access to.

Was there a better solution that I didn't see?



Unfortunately, no.



Since this is a one time occurrence, I've set it back to false since 
I've made an exception for the web page I need to view. And I've entered 
this work-around to my SM notes.

 if your ISP Provided a User Name and password you need to use password 
the ISP give you with your account. And when you get past this you will 
need supply the Password.


If your have an account with Giganews, Eternal-September or another 
provider you'll need to supply user name and password provided. I'd 
recommend having SeaMonkey to remember username and password  to reduce 
hassle factor.

Thank you for your response, Phillip.

My confusion stems from why I can access over 110,000 newsgroups through 
BT (a scheme in cooperation with Giganews) *without* supplying a User 
Name and/or password.


Surely Sea Monkey should require them *before* it allows me to access 
these groups - or give no pop-up /after/ granting access.

email certificates

2010-10-23 Thread James
I set up SeaMonkey with certificates for each email account. The major 
problem is to get the certificates recognized in Thunderbird and vice 
versa. I keep getting the broken key symbol. Something similar happens 
on the other end.


The certificates are functional between the accounts I manage, but I do 
not have any external correspondents with other certificate enabled 
email clients to extend my range of testing.


Unless I get a solution soon, I must abandon SeaMonkey. Has anyone 
compiled a list of email certificate problems, with or without solutions?

Re: checky ; HTML Validator

2010-10-23 Thread Miroslav Kolar
That was on customized Ubuntu 9.04 where installation of addon/249 went without 
any hitch.


On Lucid 10.04 I had to do this to make it running:

1. Installed the extension from 
http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/download.html; but got message: FATAL 
ERROR : The dynamic C library contained in the extension file could not be found.


2. Downloaded 
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb


3. Run command: dpkg -i libstdc++5_3.3.6-17ubuntu1_i386.deb

4. Made symbolic links:
 ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.11/libxpcom.so /usr/lib/libxpcom.so
 ln -s /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.2.11/libxul.so /usr/lib/libxul.so
(inspired by: 
http://www.robo47.net/blog/195-Installing-HTML-Validator-Extensions-for-Firefox-Iceweasel-on-Debian-6.0-Squeeze)


5. After restarting Seamonkey (2.0.8), I still got the error.
I had to disable the Validator extension, restart SM again, then to enable the 
extension, restart SM, and then all finally worked as supposed.

The same certificates will work just as good SeaMonkey as in Thunderbird.
export your personal certificates (from Versign or thawte) to folder 
(directory) on your hard drive. you will have to supply your password 
used to create the certificate. and in some cases if you have password 
protected Thunderbird you'll have to supply that as well.  When you 
import into SM you have to supply those  password(s) again.
Certificate meant for MS products will not work on Mozilla Products. The 
certificate have to be customized by the company (Thawte / Versign) for 
the email Client and the OS. But any customized for Mozilla (or 
Netscape) works on any Mozilla Product.

Oh you and he is supposed to send you public key to each other. The

SM2's disk cache gets corrupted and stops working?

2010-10-23 Thread Ant

Hi!

Has anyone seen this happen before? It seems once in a while (very rare 
and only seen it twice ever since SeaMonkey (SM) v2.0 final came out) on 
my updated, old Windows XP Pro. SP3 PC.


about:cache shows something like this (restarted SM2 from this one):

Memory cache device

Number of entries:  18
Maximum storage size:   24576 KiB
Storage in use: 170 KiB
Inactive storage:   170 KiB

List Cache Entries

Disk cache device


Number of entries:  0
Maximum storage size:   524288 KiB
Storage in use: 589824 KiB
Cache Directory: 	C:\Documents and Settings\foobar\Local 
Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\agif1saa.default\Cache


List Cache Entries

Offline cache device

Number of entries:  0
Maximum storage size:   512000 KiB
Storage in use: 0 KiB
Cache Directory: 	C:\Documents and Settings\foobar\Local 
Settings\Application 
Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\agif1saa.default\OfflineCache


List Cache Entries


Listing cache entries from disk cache devices for 
about:cache?device=disk showed something like this:


Disk cache device

Number of entries:  0
Maximum storage size:   524288 KiB
Storage in use: 589824 KiB
Cache Directory: 	C:\Documents and Settings\foobar\Local 
Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\agif1saa.default\Cache



What happened to my entries? My visitation history looked OK (remember 
visited pages up to 8 days and 6,000 pages). I use 512 MB for my disk 
cache (I know its limit is 8,192 entries since I have never seen go it 
higher).


If I tell SM to clear its disk cache and I surf, then things are back to 
normal.


Is this a rare bug? I am not sure how to reproduce it yet. I know it is 
very rare and I assume crashes have to be rare. I have not seen this 
problem on my old 32-bit Debian/Linux box (don't use its SM2 much) and 
almost a year old 64-bit W7 HP office PC (SM2 likes to crash a lot -- 
seems to be related to Flash). However, they use small cache sizes 
(e.g., 150 MB). Is it maybe 512 MB too big? I set it high because my 
Internet can be slow. :/ I do download and surf the web a lot as a net 
addict. ;) I am going to try 150 MB to see if that still happens.


Thank you in advance. :)

 Was there a better solution that I didn't see?


 Unfortunately, no.

 
 As I surf online tonight, I see why I turned this to false. I use a 
 HOSTS file and every little thing it blocks gives me a window that says 
 it was unable to connect, for example: The connection was refused when 
 attempting to contact ad.doubleclick.bs. The HOSTS file removes the bs 
 advertisement but it's replaced with the irritating warning. It's a 
 choice of irritations.
 

I use Adblock Plus to block such things as ad.doubleclick.net.  It's
available from http://adblockplus.org/en/.

Using Adblock Plus leaves my Hosts file available for its intended
purpose: a local DNS table.  I also have an application that maintains
it, updating the IP addresses for the domains I have added to Hosts.
