Web page loading and display problem
I'm running SeaMonkey 2.30 under Windows 7 Home Premium (Service Pack 1) on a Toshiba Satellite L455 laptop with 4G of memory. When I load a new web page - either by clicking hyperlink or bookmark or typing in URL, only the 'top screen' of the page can be read, and I have to click the 'reload' button to be able to scroll down and read the rest of the page. This is annoying. Also, when I put the computer into 'sleep mode', upon reawakening, the web pages loaded by SeaMonkey are again frozen and need to be 'reloaded'. As I must work while commuting or in places without fast or reliable 'net connections or WiFi, this is much more than just annoying. How can I correct this problem ?

Gary Well, that is enough reason to hold back from upgrading for me! I have a Chase account, so until this is fixed or there is a work-around this one is a show-stopper. Dave Well, the cause is now known, and it *is* possible to access the site using SM 2.31. Comment 21 in the 1094714 bug report has it. The steps recommended by Phillip Chee solved the problem for me (Ken Jarman), Thanks Phillip: 1. Restart SeaMonkey. DO NOT go to chase.com YET 2. Open the Error Console (CTRL-SHIFT-J) 3. Evaluate: Components.utils.import(resource://gre/modules/Webapps.jsm); 4. Try to login to chase.com One hell of a workaround. Is this a one-time fixes-it-forever work-around or one that needs to be repeated every time you restart SeaMonkey? Is the restart necessary or just cleaner? I am assuming now that it is identified it will be fixed in the next release, correct? I doubt that Chase is the only site impacted by it. Dave I'm assuming it is an each-time-you-restart-seamonkey job. What it really means is that the developers care *and* know what the problem is.

Re: updating or uninstalling flash plug-in?
Mozilla's plugin-check page is updated manually and is *never* up-to-date. In fact, it generally considers many ancient versions of plugins to be current and occasionally it will even say that brand new versions are out-of-date. The plan was to convince the various plugins developers to adopt a system of notifications that all browsers could use to keep their plugins up-to-date. This likely was never considered because Google's answer was to simply bundle important plugins into Chrome, thus circumventing the whole mess. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
