This no longer works, including using an updated version modified with

The successor to this extension is No-Squint Plus, but it isn't
compatible with SeaMonkey. I got it to install using the compatibility
tool, but it doesn't do anything at all.

Is there another extension that can do this?


Someone got it working with 2.33.1 but I don't know if it still works 
with 2.46.

Other than that link, I have no problems with the New York Times. The

Perhaps this related to a Google problem that began in the last couple
of months. For example, if I type in "pizza" (no quote marks), I get the
usual ad links, a small map showing pizza places in the area, under
which is a list of those places. Clicking on a pizza place in the list
takes me to another tab, which remains blank with status line showing
"done". I used get what I still get in IE and Chrome: the list of
places, and a full map overlaid with box showing the details of the
place I clicked on.

I can get the usual full map, etc, if I click on the "Maps" link the
menu that's under the Google search box at the top.

Any ideas?

I get a blank tab in SeaMonkey, a log-in page in Firefox.

I am using 2.50 so maybe there is a bug in 2.46 and earlier firefoxes
which will be fixed.


The page showed up for me just fine in 2.48 (I'm logged into my own NY 
Times account.) So maybe it is a bug that got fixed.

Re: Google Accounts and Seamonkey

[Isaac Schemm]

Bill Spikowski wrote:

Several family members use each of our household and office computers.
We all have our own Google Accounts, but we share some of those
accounts. For instance, we rely on Google Keep to shopping lists and
to-do lists, but Keep works much better if we all use a single Google
Account rather than sharing Keep notes with different accounts.

Here’s my Seamonkey question. When accessing a Google website, it’s
pretty obvious which Google Account we’re signed in on, and switching
accounts is pretty easy. But many other websites seem aware of what
Google Account was used most recently on that computer but don’t display
that information or allow users to change accounts. For instance, a
‘save to calendar’ button or a ‘save this location’ button will add an
event to Google Calendar or a location to Google Maps, but the user
can’t tell which Google Account is receiving this information, or how to
direct it to a different account. I regularly save important events to
the wrong calendar or the wrong map, not realizing what happened until
I’m out and around and need the information on my phone and can’t find
where it got stored.

I open and close Seamonkey browser windows all day, but maybe because I
have a single Seamonkey email window open all day, Seamonkey remembers
which Google Account was used most recently, even a day or two earlier.

My problem may be worse because I regularly keep a Google Chrome browser
window open. I despise the Chrome interface, but there are quire a few
websites that just won’t display properly in Seamonkey, or won’t open at
all (financial sites are the biggest offenders). In Chrome, it’s a
little easier to tell which Google Account is being used, but I can’t
tell how or if Chrome and Seamonkey interact as to Google Accounts.

I’ve searched many Google support sites and forums to figure out how
Google Accounts interact with web browsers, but haven’t been able to
find any explanations that shed light on my situation!


I don't think Chrome and SeaMonkey would interact at all in this regard. 
If you're logged into a website in one browser, it won't affect a 
different browser.


I think Firefox and IE would probably do the same thing as SeaMonkey in 
this case. Chrome has a facility for logging into a Google account from 
the browser itself, because Google makes it - other browsers don't have 
that, as far as I know. So maybe it would be easier to ask for help 
elsewhere, since it doesn't sound like a SeaMonkey-only problem.

There are different themes and extensions you can get.

Sea Fox might be nice if you like the Firefox 3.x look:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/sea-fox/

Under the hood SeaMonkey shares a lot of code with Firefox and
Thunderbird, so you could use those if you feel more comfortable with
how they look & operate.


Actually I'm thinking in something like eM client or MailBird.

Check these out:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/seamonkey/complete-themes/?sort=updated

Also you can customize the toolbars by right-clicking on an empty 
section. You can choose icons, text, or both, and put the text under the 
icons or to the right.


If you don't find what you're looking for, SeaMonkey probably won't be 
able to fit your needs, unfortunately.

Valence and ADB Helper both work perfectly for me in SeaMonkey (I'm

That being said, I might be the only person who's tried to actually use

Re: SeaMonkey specific site problem

[Isaac Schemm]

Ken Rudolph wrote:

I'm running Win-7, SeaMonkey 2.40.

I am having trouble with a site written especially to handle voting for
a film festival.  The site works perfectly in Chrome and I.E.  It
doesn't work with SeaMonkey (and it also didn't work in the identical
way with Firefox 43.0.1).  The browser strips out film titles and other
important information on the site pages.

I had trouble upgrading Firefox 43.0.1, since I knew there was a later
version (the system froze during the update twice and never completed
it).  So I un-installed FF and re-installed a fresh version (46.0.1).
After that the site in question ran perfectly, exactly the way it does
in Chrome and I.E.  But it still wouldn't run correctly in SeaMonkey.

The site is https://notsiff.net/siff2016/siff.html .  However one has to
make a login and password to actually access the site, and the site is
made for a small group of users for a specific purpose.  But even on the
log-in page using other browsers there are links opposite the icons that
don't appear using SeaMonkey (and didn't appear using FF 43.0.

I guess my question is this:  My SeaMonkey info says:
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/43.0 SeaMonkey/2.40

And as I indicated Firefox 43.0.1 didn't display the site correctly.  I
was wondering if there is a version of SeaMonkey that utilizes the
Firefox/46.0 engine. Maybe then the page would also work correctly in
SeaMonkey.

I'm not sure if this is a reportable bug, or if my SeaMonkey just hasn't
updated to the latest browser version?  Or what?

Thanks for this site and all the help I've gotten here over the years
since Netscape 0.8.

The SeaMonkey version goes up by .01 each Firefox version, so SeaMonkey 
2.42 = Firefox 45 and SeaMonkey 2.43 = Firefox 46.


You can find some unofficial, pre-release builds at 
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly

Your obsolete browser message is crappy and infuriating. I'm running
*Google Chrome* on a *Chromebook*, which is about as modern as you
can get, and the browser update page you link to tells me that *I*
need to update my browser. What nonsense. Meanwhile, users of
Seamonkey, which is a perfectly modern browser, based on the same
rendering engine as Firefox, get a study and annoying message that
their browser isn't supported, which far too many users read as "you
stupid obsolescent geezer, why don't you get with the 21st Century?".

Great public relations there on Weather.com's part.

Seamonkey works fine with Google Apps, which is a very modern heavily
scripted, fully interactive site, so what's so &$^&*(&)%^ special
about your "new" Weather.com that you have to make an issue of the
browser. Maybe *you* need to join the 21st Century and realize that
the browser wars are supposed to be over. And learn to process User
Agent strings properly so you can recognize a modern browser when you
see one.


I'm just glad it's fixed.  I think NetFlix is my next target.


Rather than telling them to sniff for SeaMonkey, why not have them
sniff for the "gecko" process  that way they'll fix their website
for several browsers!!

You could do worse than send them to http://geckoisgecko.org/ 
might be old, but the relevant information probably still applies!



In every browser I have installed, the UA String starts out with
Mozilla/5.0. For browser sniffing it seems that would be good enough.

The proper way is to feature sniff, which is what they might have been
doing, and SeaMonkey didn't cut the mustard on being up to date on
enabled features. 

Except for IE and Edge, I have Brave 0.9.0, Chromium 49.0.2623.108,
Firefox(release, beta, nightly), Opera 37.0.2178.32, SeaMonkey 2.46a1
(nightly), and Vivaldi 1.1.453.52 installed on my system.

SeaMonkey 2.46a1 did not get the nag at weather.com. My test of 2.40
did. Is it because SeaMonkey 2.46a1 based on Gecko 49 was feature
enabled for what weather.com was offering. 

Happy camper that SM 2.40 users are now in the happy camper camp.



weather.com wasn't happy with Firefox 43 either at the time. I think it 
was ignoring SeaMonkey and just looking at the "Firefox/" part of the 
user agent string.


IIRC, when IE 11 came out, there were problems where it was detected as 
Firefox 11 (old version) because it has "like Gecko" in the UA string.

Pardon my Mac-ingorance but it sounds like you have your application

scaled larger than your desktop resolution. In Linux you can
ALT+Left-click
drag to grab a windows anywhere, not just the non-visible title bar, and
move the window off screen enough to grab a corner or edge to resize it.
Does Mac have something similar? In Windows you have to right-click the
taskbar and click Cascade Windows to fix such a situation.


After trying a number of ways to reduce the size of a too-large window,
I've come to the conclusion that the best description of the situation
is "full screen without menu bar".  The window isn't too large for the
screen, it is fitted to it exactly.  How do I get the menu bar back?
Do you see the menu bar when you move the mouse to the top of the 
screen? Newer versions of OS X hide the menu bar when you maximize a 
window, until you move your mouse up to the top.

If this is the case, you can make it visible by un-maximizing the window.

Are your not in fullscreen mode then? F11 toggles the mode.


On this system, F11 hides (but doesn't minimize, they appear to slide
off-screen) any open windows, showing the desktop.  F11 again reverses
this.  This happens whether the window is SeaMonkey or any other
application.

Just checked - looks like the key command to turn full screen on/off on 
OS X is Shift+Command+F. See if that helps.

2.35 will be based off of the Firefox 38 (extended support release)
