Can't clear offline storage, 2.53.6

[Gerry Hickman via support-seamonkey]

Hi,

In my profile is a directory called 'storage', which then has three 
sub-dirs called 'default', 'permanent', 'temporary'. These dirs are full 
of junk like sqlite databases.


What is the proper way to clear all this 'storage' so that it doesn't 
keep coming back?


Trying to do it from "Edit : Preferences" doesn't seem to work at all.

It does branch based on the user agent string, but I think there's also 
a misconfiguration going on at their end.


503 usually means there's a proxy server that's become disconnected.

If you set the user agent to just 'Mozilla/5.0' it doesn't give that 
error anymore.


If you have a way to contact them, it would be worth reporting it.

What is EPEL?



Ubuntu doesn't provide SeaMonkey in its main repo anymore.

I have to download and install each new version over the old. An 
internal app update mechanism would be greatly appreciated.


EPEL is "Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux", you can add it as a 
repository to either RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) or to CentOS. The 
packages are in RPM format, (Red Hat Package Manager). The package 
manager is a robust way to manage installed programs, for example 
checking dependencies and preventing conflicts.


Ubuntu uses APT and *.deb packages.

I'd say it's important that you upgrade (and test) any old profiles as 
soon as possible, so they're at least compatible with the current 
version. Make (and keep) a backup before upgrading.

Now fast forward a few years to 2020 after working on this on-and-off.
With the release process still being half-manually generated (though

issue once and for all.


The way it works on Linux distros is really much better than I remember 
on Windows where individual apps had their own updaters with their own 
schedules, installers, and admin rights. On Linux distros, you run a 
simple command and the whole o/s (and all apps) offer their updates. 
SeaMonkey is already in EPEL for example, so it's a ten second job to 
update it. You don't need to run an exe file (installer), you just copy 
a few files, and you can even downgrade.

Linux, 2.53.3, no add-ons: JavaScript loop, after a while it asks me if 
I should continue or abort the script.  Aborting it works fine.
I'll be updating my Seamonkey in a few minutes so we'll see what the 
newer level does.


Maybe NoScript is blocking the bad script for me. It generally allows 
any script that's served from the same domain, but NOT a script from a 
different domain. Most bad scripts and ads come from different domains 
so NoScript tends to block them...

As far as I know, Seamonkey does NOT implement or support DRM.

It's unclear (to me) whether Widevine is "safe" or not, e.g. some of it 
is open source, but it's considered bad. It's used by many TV web sites 
that offer catch-up services.

The above is from 'top' as of right now. As I am not on YouTube right 
now and Swap isn't being used, there is /currently/ no slowdown in 
performance.


YouTube also has music. Some individual tracks from albums will also 
display a static video, it's usually the album cover for the duration of 
the track.


Ok that's good info, but you need to show the initial state, and then 
the state after xxx minutes showing the problem.


It sounds like a 'youtube' issue, as opposed to a SeaMonkey issue. You 
need to do the same test with some media that is not on youtube, e.g. 
put it on your own web server. The videos that just show an album cover 
are not music, they are videos, but with just one frame repeated, I'm 
not sure if it plays the same frame thousands of times, or if it somehow 
knows there's only one frame and freezes it, but either way, it's still 
a video.


If you can show that playing a music file in SeaMonkey, that is not on 
youtube, is using progressively more memory as it plays, then that would 
be a serious problem in SeaMonkey. Do you know which libraries SeaMokey 
uses behind the scenes to play media files?

This could actually be something Linux is doing relating to the usage of 
memory, because I have seen the exact same issue occur with other web 
browsers, not just SeaMonkey. After a while, the Swap partition becomes 
active, then there is a noticeable slowdown of the system.


Which Fedora Supplied package and which o/s distro, version?

On Linux, you should quickly be able to see who is using what, for 
example using "System Monitor" and then go to "Processes", sort by 
Memory with highest at the top.


You should see SeaMonkey at abnout 300MiB

Note the value from a cold start, then time how long before it reaches 
the value that you are concerned about.


It's unlikely listening to music would cause this, but the word 
"youtube" rings alarm bells as it's not "music", it's running hundreds 
of horrible JavaScripts launching hundreds of adverts and attacking your 
computer.


If you think it's music, trace the URL to the real music file (or 
stream) and run the same test again (outside of youtube).


I didn't even know youtube had music, I thought it was video.

Well, youtube is supposed to be for watching videos, so I can't imagine

you visit huge data sucking sites that run thousands of "affiliate"

Memory use can be a bit misleading anyway, because modern applications 
will sometimes keep huge chunks of memory in the background "in case 
they're suddenly needed", trying to trick the user into thinking they're 
getting better performance. However, a well written app should free the 
memory when it closes.


I don't know how you measured it, but there's a really good extension in 
Seamonkey called "SeaMonkey Debug and QA UI", that shows you what's 
going on inside the browser, including memory, and there's even a menu 
item where you can "Flush Memory".

I thought the install process on Linux was just to extract the x64

1. Write down the profile location
2. Back up the profile
3. Back up the old SeaMonkey binaries
4. Extract the new SeaMonkey binaries

Ok, that's odd, I know there are moves (in the latest browsers) to 
disable certain types of invasive behaviour, but I'm not aware of 
anything that different between FireFox and SeaMonkey right now. Have 
you confirmed for example that FireFox is using less resources than 
SeaMonkey when opening the same tabs and visiting the same sites?

Those "big" sites will fire up so many http connections, bandwidth hogs

Modify two request headers

[Gerry Hickman via support-seamonkey]

I have a router with a web interface. It worked with SeaMonkey 2.7, but 
recent versions of SeaMonkey add two headers to each request

DNT: 1
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1
the router doesn't like any header that it doesn't understand

I found a way to "fix" this in FireFox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/simple-modify-header/
You create a URL pattern, so it only affects one site, then you tell it 
to remove the two headers you don't want (for that site only)


Just wondering if there's a way to do this in SeaMonkey?

FRG


But the main question I see is whether this storage (or "these 
storages", since there are several) should be cleared or not, and when/why?


The reason why you should be able to clear them, is related to 
"privacy", and also reducing garbage in the profile. The SeaMonkey 
interface indicates that you can check the size, and also that you can 
clear them down, but my original post (and David's post above) indicates 
that when you press "clear" in SeaMonkey, they don't get deleted.


However, Frank says above that "clearing still works", so it's a bit 
confusing.

No it is a bug in SeaMonkey


OK, so my understanding of it, is that the offline storage api is still 
used by SeaMonkey, but the ability to report it's size, and to clear it 
down do not work?

Profile and Offline Storage

[Gerry Hickman via support-seamonkey]

In my SeaMonkey profile is a directory called 'storage/default'
and within that directory there are dozens of websites listed with 
sqlite databases.


I'm guessing this is related to "offline storage", but I've just gone to 
"Preferences : Advanced : Offline Storage", and it says I'm using zero 
bytes of storage and clearing it makes no difference.


I'm using SeaMonkey/2.53.1, but I think this was the same in my previous 
version.

If you're sure it's related to the videos, or you want to disable 
autoplay anyway, you could try setting media player plugins to "ask to

about:config
media.autoplay.enabled : false

How does SM play MP4 video on Windows?

[Gerry Hickman via support-seamonkey]

Hi,

I'm interested to know how SM plays MP4 video. For example does it have 
it's own hand coded player (unlikely), or does it use a ready built 
player API?


My guess is that it's using Media Foundation (like Windows Media 
Player), but how?

Win2k was effectively NTv5, very stable (and very fast) in a corporate

Block Requests to specific domain?

[Gerry Hickman via support-seamonkey]

Is it possible to prevent SeaMonkey making requests to a certain domain? 
I know you can "block images" from a certain domain, but can you tell SM 
to never make any kind of request to that domain?


e.g. a domain called ads.com, with servers, x.ads.com, y.ads.com

can you block any request to *.ads.com?

Hello all - over the last few days I have received a 500 Internal Server
Error Code error when trying to access my web mail and DHS website.

Also for my web mail I get the pop up box indicating that the site is
untrusted.


A few possibilities:

1. The genuine server at the other end is broken. They probably know 
about it by now (after many complaints), and have fixed it.


2. A domain has expired and you're getting bounced off to a different 
server (usually full of adverts) which is giving the 500 error.


3. Your network has been hijacked and you're being bounced to a fake server.

A possible solution is to log in to your hosting provider's home page 
DIRECTLY and check your settings for things like DNS. Another option is 
to post the exact URL for the website where you make the initial request 
- someone here will be able to tell you if the DNS is messed up.

Re: SM 2.46 eMail Loss

[Gerry Hickman via support-seamonkey]

I updated to 2.46 from 2.40 on my Laptop using Win Business Vista 2, I
Am not able to retrieve/see over 18 months of email for only one
account.


The first thing to do is locate your old SeaMonkey profile and see if 
the files are still there.


e.g.

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\69y9sdxz.default


I have reverted to SM 2.40 and still not able to find the messages...


In general, it's not a good idea to "revert" because your profile would 
have been updated to a newer version, and reverting can cause data loss.

Basic Authentication issue in 2.46

[Gerry Hickman via support-seamonkey]

I have a SiteCom router with an embedded web server. For many years I 
was able to log in from SeaMonkey by typing http://10.0.0.1/ and then 
the user name and password. This still works in older versions of SM and 
FF, but not in SM 2.46


I believe the issue is related to a new HTTP header being sent by SM 2.46

Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1

I set up a raw HTTP test on a linux VM (without using a browser) and 
tested both with and without this header.


Request with header : Authentication FAILS
Request without header : Authentication WORKS

It's quite strange, as I don't see how the router can even know about 
this header as it's too old. I also noticed something even more odd, if 
I change the header to something like


BlahBlahBalh: 1

the authentication also fails, but if I use

BlahBlahBalh: one

everything starts working

Is it possible to disable the 'Upgrade-Insecure-Requests' header in 
SeaMonkey?
