Re: Moving profiles from XP to Win7
Zeb Carter wrote: I am in the process of setting up a new computer for a friend of mine - old computer running XP Home, new computer Win 7. Both have SM 2.0.8. When I do this, I first close SeaMonkey on the old computer, and copy the entire profile folder (e.g. salt.profilename) to the new computer. Then I use the profile manager on the new computer to create a new profile with the same profile name and use Choose Folder to navigate to the copied profile. The profile manager is smart enough to realize that it should use the existing profile in that location, rather than creating a new profile in that location. -- David Wilkinson ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Does current SM still use the shared Mozilla Registry file? If so, then I assume this is the correct procedure to restore profiles from a backup, correct? That is, do not bother backing up the shared registry file itself, simply do the above steps?

Re: From TB 2.x -- SM ???
Michael Lueck wrote: Greetings- Just today I came to the thought that since moving to TB 3.x is undesirable, possibly moving from TB 2.x to SM would be a viable choice. Thus some questions: 1) How does SM do as far as supporting the extensions that TB does? As for the browser, I was able to install Ad-Block Plus into my SM profile, and that is as far as I have gone. I mainly install SM to get the Composer to clean up nasty HTML code and make it pretty. What extensions do you need? Did you look for the Thunderbird extensions you use in SeaMonkey add-ons? Lightning works, KompoZer is a better for HTML then Composer. 2) How portable should TB 2.x profiles be headed over to SM? On Linux under Tools Import you can select to import all or just select what you want to import from Thunderbird. 3) Any documented steps for doing the migration? I am very comfortable working at the command line. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_migration_-_SeaMonkey *) I am asking about this for use on Windows XP and also Linux via the official Mozilla builds installed via UbuntuZilla.

Re: Java issue
u...@domain.invalid wrote: I am running SM 1.1.19 and the latest version of Java, v22 on an XP machine sp3. For the last three days I keep getting 2 error messages when trying to either access a particular web page that utilizes Java or try to run the Java test at java.com. This is an example of a web page that generates the error messages- http://www.bigskyresort.com/Photos-Videos/Webcam.asp The first error message states the plug in performed an illegal operation, restart browser Clicking OK then generates another error message, the new Java plug in requires a more recent version of Firefox (version 3 or higher). The site loads at this point but the Java app does not activate. This site works from IE so it does not appear to be an issue with SM. I have un-installed and reinstalled both SM and Java and done an extensive cleaning of the registry as well as deleted Java folders with data in them after the uninstall. The only thing all this accomplished was to now cause the first error message to pop up when I start SM. Everything else seems fine but this Java thing is driving me nuts. I do not want to update SM to v2.x due to the incompatibility with Roboform which I use extensively. Any ideas? I'm using 1.1.19, and java works fine. I did have a problem with hotmail not working and changed some useragent settings in about:config having to do with firefox. You might want to search this forum for hotmail and see if those changes might help you. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

So you need to sent the public key to everyone in the world - because you don't know to which person the destination of the next mail will be... Is that not how Enigmail works? You trade public keys (certificates) then you may encrypt? I have zero experience with Enigmail, but the documentation suggests it is a certificate generator and certificate manager add-on for Mozilla email client programs. Certificates issued by certificate authorities work to enable you to sign emails that can be sent to anyone, but both sender and recipient need each other's public keys for encryption. Trading certificates with an initial email and reply using signed emails is about as convenient as it gets before you can start sending encrypted emails. Before secure emails, you had to encrypt a file and send it as an attachment. Self-extracting files were executable (.exe) and all the emails I tried to send with an executable file were stopped. This means both need the same encryption software. Trading passwords securely may be a problem using stand alone encryption. In my experience, the majority have no idea that their emails are being routinely scanned by hackers looking for a quick profit. I keep hearing stories about people sending credit card info to a family member to make a purchase and the credit card or bank account being raided for all it is worth by a hacker even before the family member can use it. I do not even like sending unencrypted emails that have no personal information, but convincing the drooling mouth breather with a mind of a gnat that encryption is good is as harder than teaching people to breathe under water. They argue, I have nothing to hide. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Aquestion about SM 1.1 and the Internet
I am finding more and more often, that open tabs which are loading just keep on 'loading' forever. That is, when I click on something to enter data, or reload, or just visit, the circling arrow and progress bar never stop working. I often have to clik stop to get them to stop loading and taking up my Browser's activity. Is that SM 1.1, the internet, of my ISP causing that to happen ? Many sites now do this. Others do not. Is the reason due to high internet activity (or high activity at those sites), or is my ISP not connecting well. I do not understand all the nuances of how the internet works, so any answer has to be written 'down' to me - me being so ignorant and such.
