Re: Best size for SM Cache ?
NFN Smith wrote: DoctorBill wrote: So - is a possible of 4 GB of Cache Good ? Any suggestions of why Cursor freezes up. Usually when I am viewing graphics files or about to save them. Always happens when using SMand Paint.net and GraphicsWorkShop Pro (Alchemy Mindworks). Usually Windows Explorer on, too. Several thoughts, with indirect reference to other comments made in this thread... Overall, your hardware specs are fine, and if you have broadband access, you don't really need much in the way of cache. Personally, I run my own at 10 MB, and I sometimes do Firefox configs as low as 5 MB. And as has been suggested, even setting to zero isn't necessarily a problem. I'm inclined to believe that your problem is something that's not Seamonkey itself, but where Seamonkey issues are symptoms of something else. As a common troubleshooting thing, I frequently suggest clearing cache and cookies. Remember that with broadband connections and Web 2.0, the browser is seen as much as a tool for running scripts, as it is for simply rendering HTML content. If there's stuff in the cache that's causing freezes, it could be a script that's confused, by trying to take content from the cache when it should be grabbing new stuff. I think that clearing the cache is more likely to address your problem than increasing the cache, and unless you're using dialup connections, I don't think you gain anything by making the cache larger than the Seamonkey defaults. I'm assuming that you've already tried Safe Mode, to see what happens if you disable all your extensions, but I'll at least note here. Another step to try would be trying an alternate user profile, where all the settings are default. If you get better handling there, then it is indicative that something in your current profile is amiss. Some discussion elsewhere in the thread suggests issues with video handling. I have found that there are times when it can be appropriate to disable hardware acceleration for video -- not system-wide (and I not your stated discomfort with doing Windows registry tweaks), but disabling acceleration in Seamonkey. (To do that, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance / Content", uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available). It's possible (although probably not likely) that there could be issues that relate to your Windows user profile. As with changing out a profile in Seamonkey, you could also try seeing if you get the same issues with a different user ID. If that's not giving you the results you want, especially if you're seeing similar issues with freezing in other applications, then I think you're probably seeing system-related issues. The first thing that comes to mind is drivers. You didn't mention how long you've been having issues, but if it's within a week or two, a driver update is definitely a candidate. Take a look at your history for updates, and if there's anything that has updated there related to video, you may want to consider backing out that update, or even going to the Device Manager and deleting your video driver, and letting Windows redetect. Even further, it's possible that the last Patch Tuesday update might have something that's interfering, and you might want to have Windows uninstall that one. On additional review of discussion, I see that you're using Win 7, so that would appear to eliminate Patch Tuesday updates, but drivers could still be an issue. Win 7 itself isn't an issue. Besides differences in drivers and changes in UI, Win 7 isn't significantly different from either Vista or Win 10. Given a machine of that apparent vintage, your symptoms might be indications of hardware issues, especially a failing video card. One final thought: if you're running your storage at 18% available capacity, it's effectively full. Although an SSD may be a little more forgiving than a traditional hard drive, when you're that close, there's inadequate space for burst demand, and you will be seeing performance issues with your computer. I'm doubtful that that is causing your reported problems, but it's not impossible either. If you're running a 256 GB drive, then the expectation is that the drive is predominantly used for system and applications, and that you have minimal amounts of user data stored there. You can probably do up to about 50 GB of your own storage, but very little for digital media content (photos, music, videos) or archival storage of stuff you want to keep, but that you don't need to get to every day. For a 250 GB drive, you'll find much better overall performance if you get the amount of free space increased to at least 75 GB, and if you can get to 100 GB of free space, that's even better. Freeing space might or might not affect your video issues, but doing so will help overall performance. In that context, expanding your cache might actually compound problems by increasing th

Why would it do that ? I had to go back and re-enable PrefBar - after I came across it by accident. i.e. - I am NOT an aficionado of all this plugins and extensions business. I barely understand all the menus and actions and how to interact with them. Programs do not "wear out' - something got in there and boogered Autoplay up. Then Autoplay's installer boogered up my PrefBar. What's next ? I installed both a long time ago and they were working fine for several years. Then when I re-installed the Autoplay AGAIN (it had stopped working for some reason), THAT disabled my PrefBar. That kind of baloney causes people to distrust the software and the makers of the software. Unless you are UP on this stuff on a daily basis, you get lost in the minutia of it. I suppose the cause of this all is ENTROPY having it's way with us.

What is the "Website Navigation Bar" used for ?
My running/working "AutoPlay Toggle On/Off" stopped working on day last week. Been "fixing" my SeaMonkey Menu "Bars" since I RE-INSTALLED the "AutoPlay Toggle On/Off" and it boogered up my SM setup. Installing that add-on changed my settings W/O ASKING ME ! OKmy question - what does the "Website Navigation Bar" DO ? it is greyed out right now. It has (left to right): "TopUpFirst..Previous.Next.Last.DocumentMore..Subscribe" Greyed out ! I tried looking up what it is for, but get nonsense (gibberish) web sites THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO TELL ME WHAT IT IS FOR. BTW - How can I trust Mozilla's functions if they change my established, running system when I install a function ? THAT is not right !

I see you solved the problem using Paul's suggestion.
Now if you want to remove the extension, use Tools > Add-ons Manager
from the Menu bar, select Extensions, find and remove it.
This "Thing" is in my Bookmarks Toolbar labeled "AutoPlay Toggle (On)"
or (off).
It shows (ON) or (OFF) when I toggle using Paul's Suggestion.
BUT - the addons Manager says I don't have any extensions !
Could it be a Plugin ? Is it part of SeaMonkey ? I am lost ! WHAT
is it ?
It used to "Toggle" by clicking on it - now doesn't toggle.
Help !

I use Autoplay Off to stop FoxNews "Movies" from starting when I am perusing the "News" - lol. DoctorBill 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 !

No. The goal was to determine filename and path of the file SM would be printing to. Seeing the reply of Bill I have checked in in a new profile. The pref is indeed not there. It is created the first time the print dialog is opened. Hartmut A Ha ! Question - can I insert (edit) into the Config file what you said should be there ? i.e. print_to_filename blah blah blah etc in that Print_printer blah blah area ?

I think what you (WaltS48) are describing is a different feature, the "print to file" option in the GTK print dialog, which (at least here) is shown as if it were a printer itself (in the list of printers or printing methods which are available). What DoctorBill is describing sounds like the "Print to file" checkbox in the Windows print dialog. This option, instead of sending the data to the printer, will store it in a file. In my experience, the "File:" prompt will accept a full path, that is, starting from a "drive letter" and with directories, say, A:\dir\example.dat.

I also always have multiple versions of each app. I never replace an app or OS until I an convinced the replacement is superior. So every computer has multiple versions of Win and Mozilla and/or Mozilla clones. On desktops, the apps are on one HDD and apps and data are on another HDD. I have clones of each. So my backup and restore is to swap a HDD. And the OSs don't know the apps/data has changed and the apps/data doesn't know the OSs has changed. With a couple decent tools building a partition structure is not difficult. And Mozilla products are very easy to organize. . Well congratulations on being 82 ! AND being able to do ALL THAT ! Wow.

How can the 2.49.5 be made to spoof with the new FireFox V52 recognition signal ? Two ways ... either, first, in your Preferences (Edit->Preferences->Advanced) and tick the box to Advertise Firefox compatibility. That will tell every website you go to that your program is like Firefox But, it will still mention SeaMonkey, and some sites will be confused by this so they still will not work, so Second, in the web browser part of SeaMonkey type "about:config" (without the inverted commas), accept the warning and then type 'Useragent' in the Search: line. That will just leave those preferences that include the word useragent. One of those will be 'general.useragent.compatMode.firefox'. Double click on that preference will change the 'Value' from 'false' to 'true'. Additionally, if there is a particular website that is causing problems (often banking sites), in this config page, you can add a preference that would apply only to that particular website and set it to 'spoof' Firefox only just for that website, but I'm unsure how to enter a new preference like this. Maybe someone else will suggest how to do that. And it just occurred to me that there is a third method of changing the Preferences ... by setting up a preference that applies only to that particular website and saving that/those preferences in a *TEXT* file called UserConfig and saving that file in the same location as your Preferences file. This method allows you to add comments against each preference that you add/change so that you can know why you did that when your memory fails you! ;-) You can check out the available preferences at ... http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries DoctorBill (still trying !)

I keep getting messages that SeaMonkey is "OUTDATED" - EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE LATEST UPDATE on the Windows 10 machine DoctorBill DocBill, looking at your UserAgent, it indicates that you posted this with SeaMonkey 2.49.1 This is not the latest version ... that would be 2.49.5 although there are even later (trial) versions out there Go to https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ to get the latest (approved) version for your OS. ;-P And note that because even the latest SeaMonkey version advertises itself as based on FireFox V 52, some/many sites will still suggest it is a very old Version. . I come to this NewsGroup FROM either THIS old HP Business Computer using Windows 7 using 2.49.1 OR My DELL "All-In-One" used business compuker using Windows 10 and 2.49.5. Two different SeaMonkeys depending on which I am using AT THE TIME. I am NOW on the old HP with Win 7. I downloaded 2.49.5 but have not run it yet. All the 'extras' (extensions and Plugins) that I have on this 2.49.1 will have to be re-setup on the 2.49.5.a PITA ! As time goes on, I forget HOW to do all that - (I'm 76) and struggle with "Keeping Up" with all the new changes. Ignorance is expensive. Thanks for the suggestion and comments. How can the 2.49.5 be made to spoof with the new FireFox V52 recognition signal ?

It has been YEARS since I did such a thing and I don't remember how. Short answer: yes. Longer answer: this is pretty easy with Mozilla applications. What to do: 1) Install Seamonkey on the new machine, but don't start it up (i.e., don't run the setup wizard). 2) Get a copy of the contents of %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey (the entire folder) on the old machine. If you haven't set up networked sharing, the fastest way to do this is to copy to a USB device (thumb drive or external hard drive). 3) On the new machine, copy all your data %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Seamonkey, and you're all set to go, where Seamonkey on the new machine is working with an exact and complete copy of what was on your old machine. I will note that for this, I'm using Windows environment variables (as Seamonkey does itself) to find your profile data, rather than trying to explain how to find the data in C:\Users\ If you enter the location in the address bar in the Windows Explorer, that will get you to the correct location, even though your AppData folder is normally hidden. The environment variable gets you to the correct location on the first try, and ignores the fact that the folder is hidden. As an aside, this is useful to know for the purposes of making backups of profiles. Because AppData is hidden, Microsoft makes it difficult to back up data stored there, and there are a few apps where you actually want to back up your data. All Mozilla apps (not just SeaMonkey, but Firefox and Thunderbird, as well) store data in AppData, and if you know how to access via environment variable, then it's relatively easy to make sure that data gets included when you're doing backups. One minor complication -- I moved a Seamonkey profile to a new computer several months ago, using this methodology. The one problem that I had was with newsgroups, in handling read/unread. For most of my newsgroups, I was able to get things to behave, but in a few cases, I had to resort to doing a Repair Folder (and re-downloading the entire history of headers). And in one or two newsgroups, that didn't work, and I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe the newsgroups. Not really a significant problem, but annoying. Smith Sorry - I already ran the setup and SM is up and running on the "New" machine. Confusing stuff. I did go to Users and got into the "Profile" (I remember THAT !) and copied abook.mab and bookmarks.html and pref.js to a thumbdrive. If I shove them into the same place on the New Machine, will THAT work ? I am like a boulder rolling around in a Glassware store ! DoctorBill I can't find any of that stuff in the "New" Windows 10 hard drive (solid state). I supposedly have full "administrator" access to the HD.lol ? What a mess !

I have no idea HOW to use this - I don't even remember downloading this "tool" !Any links to it say it is Kaput, Gone, Outdated, Fini ! Is it NOW illegal to copy YouTube Videos to your hard drive ? I remember some old Copying Programs (like KeepVid - which I had used long ago) to save videos (machining, reloading, shooting, camera repair, etc, etc.) which I used. I have the videos on my hard drive. Long story short - can I STILL do that ? Everything is changing so fast !

DB Did you look in the customize window? Many extensions put toolbar buttons in there. The post of DocBill's that you are replying here to, shows in my SM as having been sent at 2:49AM on 26/01/2019 (or Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2019 07:49:36 -0800). Did you notice his post, which shows to me as having been made at 1:44PM on 26/01/2019 (or Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2019 18:44:43 -0800), in another reply to you, EE, in which DocBill simply stated "IT WORKS ! "?? So I'm guessing he has fixed his problem!! Yes - I got it to work. Where would I post (on here) to say that ALL IS WELL ?
