Is there any single unified GUI option to choose the default search engine *everywhere* in SM?
Hello again, I've just found an annoying issue with SM 2.0pre. Here the details: I've chosen Ixquick over a https connection as my default search engine. Ixquick provides a .spec file that works with the normal Firefox and SM specifications so that I can change the default search engine via the GUI drop down list box. So far, so good. However, if I use the location bar as searching bar by imputing the words I looking for, I still have Google as default search engine because this feature is pointing to keywords.URL rather than to browser.search.defaulturl in about:config. So far, I can change keyword.URL only by hand in about:config. Am I wrong or is it really so? If there is any other GUI option, does it worth to file a RFE? -- Anche un idiota può avere buone idee.

Getting Rid of Files Shown in Name pane - 1.17
On my Dell Latitude, I have the following situation: Under the Name pane where I see Inbox, Sent, Newsgroups, etc, I also see the following list of files which appear to be a part of the Seamonkey installation: + Chrome + Components + Defaults | | | + Setup.GRE + Uninstall Can I delete all of these or are they functional? If functional, is there a way to hide them? This only occurs on my Dell Latitude Laptop(s), not on my Desktop computers. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: Odd helper apps behavior after reinstall
David E. Ross nob...@nowhere.not wrote in news:n7mdnrbp0qthphhxnz2dnuvz_o2dn...@mozilla.org: On 8/19/2009 5:17 PM, Dick Baker wrote: In rebuilding after C: drive crash (FYI: three times in 25 year ain't bad, I suppose, twice caused by misbehaving software, once by lightning strike), SM 1.1.17 (Win XP) is misbehaving, in that it insists on opening online WAV and MP3 audio files and mpg/mpeg video files internally, rather than using Windows Media Player, which is my default app for all video audio files. Before the rebuild, it properly invoked WMP for those filetypes, as does the same version of SM on my similarly set-up notebook computer. Why the difference? My notebook shows those three file types in helper apps with the selection open it using the default application (which is WMP), but if I try to install them in the new PC install in helper apps, I get Warning: SM can handle this type internally... The MozillaZine Knowledge Base says (or at least implies), that only very basic filetypes (standard web graphics formats and text files) are handled inernally [discussing adding new MIME types in Helper Apps]: The actions you add will not affect MIME types that are handled internally, which include certain MIME types such as image/jpeg or text/plain [3] and all MIME types that are handled by plugins [4]. Before adding a new action for such MIME types, a Warning dialog similar to the following will be displayed: [the warning about handling this type internally]. Any suggestions on how I can force SM to use WMP for those audio/video file types? In some cases, this is not a browser issue. Instead, it relates to the sequence in which the applications were installed. For example, I have both Acrobat (the writer) and Adobe Reader installed. For a long time, PDF files on the Web would open in the writer and not the reader. In setting up a replacement PC, I installed Acrobat first and then Adobe Reader. At that time, the versions of SeaMonkey, Acrobat, and Adobe Reader were all the same as on the old, replaced PC. The problem went away. I experiemented by removing Acrobat and Adobe Reader and then reinstalled them, installing Adobe Reader first and then Acrobat. The problem reappeared. I removed just Adobe Reader and then reinstalled it. The problem went away. Thus, in many cases, the last application installed is the one used. All true, and I, coincidentally, ran across that same Acrobat/Acrobat Reader issue a while back and solved it the same way you did. BUT that's not the case here. The only program I installed on the rebuilt PC that has claimed the .mp3 .wav .mpg association is Windows Media Player. I'd really like to fix this SM anomaly, since its internal player has no utility--no playback controls and, in the case of .mp3 files, no display of the standard mp3 tags. -- Dick Baker (contact via http://goon.org/contact.php) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Getting someone to tell you about such is rough in the mozilla world- the very nature of the non centralized work often defeats an enduser like me trying to discover if something is no longer supported, just not working, or you're the only one having that problem.
