For me there is a better solution to turning off autoplay than through a 
plugin for turning off autoplay, and it is built in to SeaMonkey:


First go to the Location Bar of the browser window and type 
"about:config" without the quotation marks. Then press return.  In the 
page that comes up search for "media.autoplay.enabled" and set it to 
false. This will turn off autoplay.


I have used this setting for years. When I want to view video on a web 
page or at youtube I simply click on the video's play button.


This setting stops videos from autoplaying and lets the user decide if 
they want to view a video by clicking the play button.  If this is the 
function of the plugin you are using, this function is already built 
into SeaMonkey by going to about:config


HEY !  GREAT !  Thanks !  It was set to False !  I changed it to True 
and now

I can play videos !  YouTube etc.

It used to toggle on my menu bar, but it won't toggle there anymore.
Why would it suddenly stop toggling ?

Thanks again !

Hi,

I downloaded the build by W9G seamonkey-2.53.5b1pre  on September 13 
(today).  I the last build I had downloaded was from September 7.


The first thing I Noticed was how fast and responsive it was compared 
to the build from September 7 that I had been using.  Has anyone else 
tried any of the builds by W9G recently and noticed the speed and 
responsiveness improvements.  What a difference.


BTW I am using MacOS 10.15.6.


Paul, when you installed the latest, did you flush the cache to ensure 
the SM had to re-acquire the web-site data i.e. to stop it just re-using 
the Cached data??
I don't use the cache and have it set to use 0 mb of disk space. The 
browser was to retrieving stored data from the cache.

Tried disabling or removing the extension?



Been so long ago - I don't know HOW to do that !
My files for programs are a MAZE of mostly unreadable garbage.
What is what ?

What a shame - that was such a good "toggle" to stop Websites from playing
annoying Videos w/o being asked first !

How can I tell if it was a Plugin or an extension ?  I see no 
intelligible name in the SeaMonkey Extensions File.  Would it be this: 
  {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}.xpi ?

I just took another look at that link, and I confirm that content is

even if not quite rendering in the way that Google expects it.

So you see the "A lot of help, for less" heading and the front and back 
pictures of the phone sliding away from each other as you scroll down?


Then you come to "A Google phone packed with the things you want" 
heading, with 4 columns under that with links explaining features.


Keep scrolling and you come to the Verizon offer.

Keep scrolling you get the "Jaw-dropping photos. Near, far or galaxies 
away heading".


Keep scrolling and you get pictures that change and enlarge as you scroll.

Keep scrolling for a whole lot more until you get to the pic with "Your 
Pixel 4a comes with 3 months of Google One" heading.


Glad you SeaMonkey is working. Mine isn't.

I saw all of that using Firefox Nightly 82.0a1.

The funny thing about that link is that Slimjet did not work but Vivaldi 
did.  Both are chromium browsers, both use the Blink rendering engine, 
and both identify themselves as Chrome.

Plugins and extensions are not the same thing.
The extension I use to toggle autoplay is Autoplay Toggle 
(Non-Restartless).  You can get it from addons.thunderbird.net.

Indeed only supporters can comment.
Apparently the login process works, I received "hola username" after 
login, but when I try to comment, the website says that I am not logged. 
With Firefox and even Pale Moon , the comments section works.


Every week I test the website to verify that they have resolved the 
problem. And every week I send a new email to their technical department 
asking that they correct this misbehaviour.


Is There a  reader of Spanish newspapers in this newsgroup so that we 
can further investigate and perhaps convince the managers of eldiario.es 
to resolve the problem ?

Re: High Memory Usage 2.53.3 64 bit

2020-09-14 Thread bdelmee

Unfortunately this is my experience, too (on 64-bit linux)

I typically keep 8-10 tabs open, which a t the end of a day
typically means SM2.49.5 uses about 1-1.2 GB RAM.
With SM2.53.3 this balloons to 2.5-3GB - much higher.
There are also perceivable delays to switch between tabs.

I am not complaining - i have been using the Mozilla suite since before 
its 1.0
release and am very thankful to the developers who have kept SeaMonkey 
alive.

Perhaps if I (and other users) spent more time with betas, things would be
better but the trend is worrying.

I noticed today while running FaceBook and trying to turn off  Messenger
Active Status the screen went slightly blurry, the "X" in upper right corner
turned RED and the pointer became a spinning  circle. Everything froze.  I was
able to open Task Manager via the "Control-Alt-Delete" and checked
SeanMonkey.  Memory was just running up the scale.  Was a little over1GB when
opened Task Manager and was increase like crazy.  In about 30 seconds it was
almost to 3GB.  I then 'stopped' SeaMonkey.

I tried this again - same results.  Then I disabled Java Script.  Tried again
- same results.

Anyone else experience this with FaceBook?  Sending SM into a loop?  SeaMonkey
or FaceBook or (heaven forbid) my problem?
