Just a guess:  maybe notifications are a special case; maybe TB/SM
hand them off to some external software which plays the WAV.

Almost all the adblockers use the same kind of subscription filter
lists.  If Adblocker Ultimate will show you which list(s) it's
subscribed to by default, you can probably subscribe to them with
AdBlock Plus as well.

It definitely is a problem for Firefox.  AIUI, Mozilla have deprecated
building Firefox using gtk2, but haven't said anything about the time
frame for fully dropping support for building that way.  If you find
out anything from them about this, please post back.

For the question of whether the delimiter was intended solely for
humans, not software, I prefer the earlier reference because it's
from when the issue was being tackled in the first place.  In any
case, the one that superseded it is in agreement with it about the
delimiters.

That part is essentially the the same in 1738's appendix;  both are
very clear that they're talking about all plain text, not just
printed on paper.  I see no indication in either appendix that the
delimiters might be intended only for parsing by humans.

3986: "For example, there are many occasions when a URI is included in
plain text; examples include text sent in email, USENET news, and on
printed paper."

1738: "In addition, there are many occasions when URLs are included in
other kinds of text; examples include electronic mail, USENET news
messages, or printed on paper."

The angle brackets as delimiters for URLs in plain text were recommended
in the appendix of RFC 1738 because "it is convenient to have a
separate syntactic wrapper that delimits the URL and separates it from
the rest of the text" without specifying whether it's convenient only
for humans.  Whether any software's algorithms make use of the
delimiters as they're determining whether there's a URL present, I
dunno.

There is no way you can guarantee that the recipient's software will
convert any plain text to a clickable link, but the angle brackets may
help. It may also help to include the protocol, such as http, e.g.
.  In times past, adding "URL:" helped some
software, e.g. .  (I hope I've got that
syntax right -- it's been many years since I had to use it.)

By default, Google only accepts OAuth 2.0 authentication.  Enabling
access by what Google calls "less secure apps" just lets you (or your
SeaMonkey) use other methods of secure authentication to log in to your
Gmail account.

Except for Google itself, I don't think there's anyone claiming that
using authentication methods other than OAuth 2.0 reduces security.
It's widely believed that Google made OAuth 2.0 the only method
available by default simply to try to force people to use Google
products to connect to Gmail;  I dunno.

I'm not sure I've explained any better than the people in that
Mozillazine thread, but I hope that helped some.

That's all correct.  Mozilla decided to leave graphite in but disable
it (in Firefox 45.0.1) by setting that pref to false by default.
According to the upstream graphite people, the issues are fixed and
should make it into Mozilla stuff soon.¹  Apparently, Mozilla thought
this stuff was fixed as of Fx 45.0² but then changed their minds.
ISTM all SeaMonkey users should turn it off at least until Mozilla are
sure it's fixed.

I think that's it, too.  my.yahoo.com has started doing it that way,
but my SeaMonkey (a 2.42 build) remembers the name and password and
fills them both in.

If found a few recent bug fixes about recognizing username/password
inputs which may not have made it into current SeaMonkey yet.  (Not
posting links because I couldn't find anything that was clearly
related to this case;  searching for fixed bugs with "password" will

True, but IMO Amanda's right that the website should be clear,
especially in the case of Linux.  The vast majority of Linux machines
are 64-bit (but I don't know whether most of those are multilib or
not).  The release notes and system requirements don't say anything
about the download being 32-bit, either.  If a new user only comes along
once in a blue moon, that's all the more reason to want to give her a
not-so-frustrating experience.

I have no idea how SM's line-wrapping stuff works, so take this post
with a big grain of salt.

Check your 'sent' folder -- if the copy there has a line break in the
middle of what should have been the URL, SM did it.  If not, the
problem is probably on her end, in which case there's nothing you could
do other than run the URL through a URL shortener before pasting it.

In case SM is causing the break, toggling wrapping off before pasting
should be the answer.  There's an extension that's supposed to make
toggling it easy,
.

Debian's bug entry about renaming (or un-renaming, I guess) their

considering a similar move.  Seamonkey wasn't mentioned, but of course
that doesn't mean it won't happen.

That's a good thought, but with all cookies accepted (in Firefox,
in my case), I get the same error as Chuck.

Currently, after login, Yahoo are redirecting https://my.yahoo.com to
http://my.yahoo.com and vice versa, creating a loop.  This isn't
happening with my non-Mozilla browsers, so I suspect it's a case of
bad browser sniffing.  (But I don't know, and if anyone has any better
ideas, that would be great.)

IME, Yahoo frequently break things and then fix them within a day or
two.

You might take it up with the ultimate upstream for the English (GB,
US, and CA at least) dictionaries,
.  That page has links to their
mailing list and their bug tracker.  You might want to take a look at
their bug tracker -- there are some entries that seem relevant.  Note
that their online tool to check what lists have what words doesn't work
the same way SM's spellchecker does.  AIUI, that has more to do with
whether characters like the unicode apostrophe are treated as 'word
characters' or not than with the word lists themselves, and you seem to
have ruled out the possibility that SM doesn't treat them as 'word
characters'.

It was closed because it's "not a tier one product issue", which seems

the handlers for those protocols;  I just checked by clicking the links

Maybe it needs to be re-opened and reclassified -- ISTM it's not a

I can't explain the displacement you and others seeing, but what your

combining tildes are correct in your plain text and and in your html

According to

Courier New supports combining tildes.

Those are control characters for 'end of text' (U+0003), 'start of
heading' (U+0001), and 'start of text' (U+0002).   Few fonts support
them, and I doubt you'd want to use any of those, but FWIW here's a
(not necessarily comprehensive) list:
.

(I'm not quite sure what it even means for a font to support a control
character, except to make the character not display as one of those
little boxes.  I guess the spammers are using control characters in an
attempt to throw off automagic spam detectors which try to parse the
headers.)

You should be seeing an emoji, the Unicode character U+1F602, as long
as you have a font with a glyph for that character installed.

Emoticons are a different thing, just strings of ASCII characters such
as (c:   -- I think the emoticon support you're talking about involves

It's possible for pages to use styling to add some content, which

My guess (and it's only that) is that the site did have a sniffing
problem and that it's been fixed, and that the between the site and the
OP is a transparent caching proxy which still serves a problematic copy
of the site.  If that's the case, a shift+refresh should cure it.

It won't prove anything one way or the other, but out of curiosity, does
loading Google's cached pages cause that message to come up in
SeaMonkey?  I don't have a SeaMonkey handy to test myself.  Here's one
of the links to the cache:

All of them are.  Mozilla doesn't support any plugin API other than
NPAPI.

But extensions are not plugins.  Extensions don't use NPAPI.  (Walt

 Ta.  
 
 Native HTML5 video decoding was supposed to be enabled by default in
 Firefox 37 (what would have been Seamonkey 2.34) but it was disabled
 after it was found to be acting wonky. It isn't on in SM 2.33 (based
 on FF 36). Have already tried: https://www.youtube.com/html5 ?

The new stuff that had to be disabled in the browser at the same time
YouTube reverted the default was the so-called Media Source Extensions
support;  MSE doesn't affect whether HTML5 video works, just makes it
work better.  Once MSE works, YouTube will be willing and able to serve
HTML5 to Mozilla users by default, but without MSE they're not
willing.  I don't fully understand the benefits of MSE to YouTube
except that it allows more efficient use of their resources. The main
benefit to users is that MSE will let us see 1080p resolution, whereas
without them we can't get HTML5 video res any higher than 720p.  (I
don't know if that's a YouTube policy decision having to do with
efficiency they want or if it's a hard technical constraint.)

Daniel, Thee Wolf is right that https://www.youtube.com/html5
*should* let you select HTML5, as long as you keep cookies from
youtube.com.  If it doesn't seem to work, post all the info from the
What does this browser support? section of that page.

In general, you have to find the https URL and paste it into an address
bar.  If that doesn't work, you'd have to move on from browsers to other
tools, which are less easy to use but more flexible.

That page just encloses https://recruitment.wodonga.vic.gov.au/ in a
frame, which is IMO is a useless, annoying obfuscation.  Open that URL
in one of the browsers that works to see that the issuer is Go Daddy
Secure Certificate Authority - G2.

Trying to open https://recruitment.wodonga.vic.gov.au/ in SeaMonkey
may reveal clues about whatever the problem is.

Do you get your SeaMonkey directly from Mozilla or from a repository
specific to your distro?  If it's from a repo, remind me what distro
you use.

I'm starting to suspect that some Debianish devs but not others find
GoDaddy objectionable and disable trusting it.  That's really just
speculation, but it would explain why others can't reproduce your
problem and why only one of your browsers is affected.

ps is a tool for listing info about running processes.  All you've

Flash were running, it would show up on a separate line of the output.

Rinaldi suggested ps because the OP does have Flash installed, and
because a running Flash process might be causing the trouble.  ps would
let him find the process ID (PID) so he could kill it.

 But just checked SM Add-ons  Manager an it's showing I have YouTube
 Flash Video Player 36.0 installed!! Is this working in place of
 normal Flash??

No, that's just an extension meant to force the use of Flash (as
opposed to HTML5) on YouTube.  Without Flash installed, you shouldn't
need/want the extension.

 Should my sound be working, or not??

Sound *should* be working for everyone.  ;)  If you are having trouble
with sound, better to start a thread of your own.  If you're just
curious about ps and/or grep, take it to m.general and I'll see what I

  html it produces had the mangled URLs.  If this was happening in
  plain text mode, I'm stumped;  SeaMonkey shouldn't be altering that.
 
 I was composing the email in HTML mode.
 
 Just tested a plain-text email.  With   brackets around the link
 the link shows as clickable and is displayed with spaces.  If I look
 in the source, the spaces are there.  If hover over the link and
 check the status bar the spaces are removed!

For sending html, SM has to make a decision about what to do with
the spaces;  unencoded spaces are ok in URLs, but not in href
attributes of anchor elements.  Removing the spaces implicitly assumes
that they were not unintentional, and encoding them would implicitly
assume that they were intentional.  So all SM needs is a mind-reading
module.  ;)

When SM receives a plain text message with a URL with spaces, it then
has to make a decision about how to convert that to html for display.
And again the question is whether the spaces were intentional or not.
(Simply putting the unencoded spaces into an anchor's href would make
the link unclickable.)

I think an argument could be made that SM should percent-encode the
spaces in both cases.  That would mean that URLs which were
unintentionally broken with whitespace would not get fixed, but they
were broken in the first place.  And it would mean that URLs which do
have whitespace would be conveyed correctly.

 Now I'm off to rename all my files with spaces.

The only problem I've ever had with spaces in filenames was when I
was writing sh scripts before I really understood escaping and quoting
syntax.  But that's the same problem a Windows users writing scripts
would have.  *nix applications that work with filenames don't choke on
spaces any more than Windows ones do, which is not at all IME.

For putting files on a server whose config is controlled by somebody
else, though, not using spaces in filenames should help ensure fewer
headaches.

  That is a difference between 2.26.1 and 2.30.  I have been using

  for the time it takes to fix bug #1064639.
 
  Both are test page for phishing not for malware ...

  disable the protection) clearly indicates the page is only about
  phishing.  The text within the latter is not so clear, but I
  inferred from the first sentence that it is about malware and not
  phishing.
 
 Yes, i have clearly understand BUT for this one:
 http://www.itisatrap.org/firefox/its-a-trap.html
 
 what is it ? a test for phishing or for malware ?

Here's the way the Firefox 3.0 release notes introduced the two

Re: User-agent line not appearing in email

David E. Ross nobody@nowhere.invalid wrote:

 For newsgroup messages, the User-Agent header field is indicated in
 RFC 5536 as optional.  For E-mail messages, the User-Agent header
 field is not even mentioned.  All header fields beginning with X-
 (e.g., X-Mailer) are non-conventional.  I strongly doubt that
 Thunderbird recognizes X-Mailer (or any other similar header field)
 as a substitute for User-Agent.

The convention of using the prefix 'X-' for non-standard headers has
been in use a long time.  The prefix wasn't strictly necessary, but it
pretty much guaranteed that no future RFC would clobber such a header
by redefining it.  (Non-standard headers without the prefix were/are
used too, of course.)

Until 5536 obsoleted 1036 for netnews, there was no standard header to
indicate what client composed the message in either news or e-mail
posts.  All there was was the informational RFC 2076, which listed
these headers in common use for it in 1997:

  Mail-System-Version
  Mailer
  Originating-Client
  X-Mailer
  X-Newsreader

So Mozilla products should recognize at least those.  (I don't know
whether they do or not.)

I don't know what Netscape 3's mail/news used.  It was released only
shortly before RFC 2076 was put out.  At some point, either Netscape
or Mozilla decided to use the HTTP header User-Agent instead of what
other message clients were using.  Eventually User-Agent made its
way into RFC 5536 as the standard one to use for news.

This giant cross-posted thread wouldn't exist if Mozilla products just
let users pick which headers are visible in the normal header view,
something like http://remarqs.net/misc/header-display-config.png.

I've set followups to m.s.seamonkey.

 you should be able to install gstreamer itself without bothering
 other packages -- the other packages just won't use gstreamer.
 
 I now have

 [IP-] [  ] media-libs/gstreamer-1.2.3:1.0
 
 and it seems i have had 0.10 before already. The last build log of SM
 seems to indicate that 0.10 is used.
 
 gstreamer itself is a tiny install, but you'd have to spend a bit of
 time deciding what plugins you want.
 
 At the moment i do not know anything about plugins regarding
 gstreamer.
 
 Come on, at least `emerge -pv gstreamer`  ;)
 
 Wasn't too much effort. Perhaps i will also look for the plugins.
 Later.

I have USE=gstreamer, and I think that's caused a lot of plugins to
be built.  I never paid attention to it, so I don't have any firm
advice about plugins.

If you run into something a SeaMonkey built with gstreamer-1.x support
won't play, I guess I'd first try merging
media-libs/gst-plugins-base:1.0 .  If still no joy, I'd spend some time
looking at the list of media-libs/gst-plugins-* -- their names mostly
indicate what they do.

 No, unless it's an HTML message, which can contain a font
 specification.
 
 For a plain-text message, you'll see only the charset tag, and SM
 will use that info to decide which font to use in displaying it. 

And if there is no charset specified in the headers of a text/plain
message, the charset is implicitly US-ASCII.  In that case, I believe
SeaMonkey displays it with the user's font choice for western encodings.

shift+reload sends your http request along with a header that indicates

The originating server isn't doing anything problematic.  My guess is

It looks like those sites try to use chomp as a fallback in case images

 I'm retracting my prior assessment. The little icons in the address

 resorted to one of the various old-style themes for Firefox and
 tweaked about:config so it would present a different name on the
 window title bar. I mean, I haven't seen the movie, but this would
 probablybe visible just for a few seconds, so pixel perfection is not
 really necessary, only the general look of it. Hollywood has been
 guilty of much worse, like Roman legionnaires wearing wristwatches...

Firefox wouldn't be an anachronism -- I think there were modern
themes available for later tech preview releases through Fx 1.0.

But I think the bookmark star wasn't added until Fx 2.0, which
probably makes that particular Firefox an anachronism.
