On Windows those buttons open the operating system's file browser (i.e. Explorer), so whether or not hidden files are seen depends on Explorer's settings. Not sure if there's a similar arrangement on Linux. Since you know the name of the hidden directory, it may be possible to navigate to it by typing it's path in the filename field. i.e. enter /mnt/home/root/.mozilla/ as the filename and press enter (or click open or whatever the equivalent is), and it might then show the content of that directory.

Good tip to look at the file browser. So some linux applications apparently put the open file dialogue in the display hidden files/directories mode independent of the file browser mode for it and some, like SeaMonkey don't. Good to know.

Good tip to look at the file browser. I'm glad that worked, but I'm surprised by it. Usually Mozilla apps use their own file browser instead of the system's, but yours must be using ROX. In about:config, what's the value of the ui.allow_platform_file_picker pref? (Usually, default is false, which would make SM use its in-built picker.) ROX probably has a keyboard combo to toggle showing hidden files, but I don't know what it is. KDE's file picker uses ctrl+h for that; maybe ROX does also. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

KDE's file picker uses ctrl+h for that; maybe ROX does also. Good thinking. I have ui.allow_platform_file_picker;true ROX uses indeed ctrl+h. If I am in the file open dialogue in SeaMonkey, ctrl+h displays or hide the hidden files/directories. So ROX is used as the value is true. I did put the value to false and then I get the Mozilla's file browser and in this window there is a tick box to show or hide hidden files/directories. So this clears up the issue.

Seamonkey Mail Drafts and Junk Folder Corrupted
Using 2.26.1, Vista, and seemed that Mail is acting really slow. Then found that several mail folders contain HUGE files for empty folders. The Drafts folder has a size of 1.2GB and it contains no drafts (empty) while the Junk folder is shown as 195MB and is empty as well. I have hit the Repair Folder button several times for each folder, with no change. Then I deleted their respective .msf files, and no change as well. Inbox folder contains messages but file space reserved seems high as well. Then I considered whether I had corrupt disc file space and used CheckDisc to scan entire C drive. Checkdisc did not find any disc corruption. Any ideas on how to fix this? Delete the Drafts and Junk Folders manually and reinstall Seamonkey?

If it doesn't, I'm guessing your helper applications settings are still not correct. The blank page in SM is normal, but Foxit should open with your PDF if you selected open in Foxit.
