Did you check (as I suggested earlier) that you have enabled "Advertise
Firefox compatibility" for SeaMonkey's browser?  I am not sure, but it
might be enabled for E-mail but not for browsing.

Try going to <http://www.rossde.com/internet/intr_gloss.shtml#agent>.
Scroll down a little to just above the section "URI, URL".  You will see
your user agent string when browsing with SeaMonkey (or any other
browser).

Windows 7
SeaMonkey 2.49.2

It works for me if I enable "Advertise Firefox compatibility", but not
if I disable it.  (I normally run with it disabled.)  You indeed have it
enabled, at least for SeaMonkey's E-mail function.  For you, however,
the result is the user agent (UA) string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/51.0 SeaMonkey/2.48
while I have the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.2
I suspect that Google is blocking Firefox 51.0 but not Firefox 52.0.
You might want to update SeaMonkey now to 2.49.2 and not wait for 2.49.3
as suggested by Frank-Rainer Grahl.

But first, you should check to make sure you have enabled "Advertise
Firefox compatibility" for SeaMonkey's browser function.  For that,
select [Help > Troubleshooting Information]; check the data to the right
of User Agent under Application Basics.

There doesn't seem to be any way of limiting the search radius (I got

It wasn't clear from your original post - are you holding Ctrl while scrolling 
the mouse wheel to zoom Google Maps, in the same way as you can for any other 
web page? If you are doing that, try scrolling without holding Ctrl. Google 
Maps implements its own zooming behaviour on scrolling, so it may confuse 
things if SeaMonkey's zooming is also being activated.



I wasn't using CTRL -- just scrolling the mouse wheel -- normal Google Maps 
behavior.

Clicking the + and -  buttons in Google Maps still works fine. I had gotten 
comfortable using the mouse wheel because it's faster -- but now it won't stop 
scrolling when I let go of the mouse wheel!

I wonder if anyone else is experiencing trouble recently while zooming
Google Maps in Seamonkey.

In recent months I've noticed erratic zooming in Google Maps with
various browsers, but only in Seamonkey is it so pronounced as to make
Google Maps unusable.

The problem occurs while zooming in with a mouse scroll wheel; the zoom
continues (erratically) after I've reached my desired zoom level. In
Firefox and Chrome, it seems to only zoom one extra zoom level, but in
Seamonkey it will zoom maybe 5 or more zoom levels, letting me count
oranges on the trees when I'm trying to understand an entire neighborhood.

The problem is limited to Google Maps; I can use the mouse wheel and the
control key to zoom in and out of any other web pages in Seamonkey
without incident.

My mouse is a Logitech Anywhere MX wireless model;

I'm sure that without Setpoint I'll lose the low battery warning for

 Glad to hear it isn't just me.
I wish they could fix set point. It has never worked properly. The

Nothing unusual - with no modifier key, it's set to scroll the

I just realized I've never explained why I don't just skip mouse wheel
scrolling and use the  + and - keys -- it's because my uncontrolled
zooming problem in SM sometimes happens when I'm merely moving my mouse
across Google Maps (not just when I'm scrolling with the mouse wheel).

Just now, I moved my mouse across the window and Google Maps zoomed out
to view the whole world.


That is not supposed to happen. Sure sounds like you have a AutoScroll 
button defined in SetPoint




This is no killer problem; I can use Google Maps just fine in Firefox or

Nothing unusual - with no modifier key, it's set to scroll the document at 
100%

I just realized I've never explained why I don't just skip mouse wheel 
scrolling and use the  + and - keys -- it's because my uncontrolled zooming 
problem in SM sometimes happens when I'm merely moving my mouse across Google 
Maps (not just when I'm scrolling with the mouse wheel).

Just now, I moved my mouse across the window and Google Maps zoomed out to view 
the whole world.

This is no killer problem; I can use Google Maps just fine in Firefox or Chrome 
-- but I prefer the Seamonkey browser.

I too use the nicer logitec mice, but I keep having software incompatibility

starting of the driver in AutoRuns as I sometimes need it to set features.  You 
can RMB on the driver window and exit set point to regain MS control of the 
driver and see if that changes anything.


I'll experiment with that!


I always assumed that if Setpoint wasn't running, I'd lose all its 
configuration settings. But I just ended the process and I really can't tell 
any difference, except that the odd scrolling problem in Google Maps has 
suddenly gone away!

I'm sure that without Setpoint I'll lose the low battery warning for my 
wireless mouse -- but that's insignificant since I know how the mouse starts acting when 
its battery is low.

Now the test is to see if I've lost anything important. If not, this problem 
will be completely solved!

I see AutoScroll as a choice for certain buttons, but with my mouse at least, 
Setpoint doesn't give me any choices about how the scroll wheel behaves. But 
maybe its getting invoked some other way . . . .

If it does the same thing at all, less or more frequently than in SM, 
try updating your mouse driver.  Sometimes something that simple can

It wasn't clear from your original post - are you holding Ctrl while 
scrolling the mouse wheel to zoom Google Maps, in the same way as you 
can for any other web page? If you are doing that, try scrolling without 
holding Ctrl. Google Maps implements its own zooming behaviour on 
scrolling, so it may confuse things if SeaMonkey's zooming is also being 
activated.

visible and you can zoom to be more precise.


Google Maps permit you some action when you Right-Click on a point on

Google Maps works fine for me, always has, no complaints from me or them.

Do you have a URL that's giving you trouble?



http://maps.google.com/maps

Once there click on the Experience MapsGL on the lower left in the
column next to the map.

I am running 2.12 'out of the box' on Windows 7 x64 and did not have a 
problem. Clicking on Experience MapsGL opens a little box with 'Try It

I clicked the Experience MapsGL, and got a blank map. WebGL is enabled
in my SeaMonkey.

Works in Firefox Beta. Haven't tried the release version.

WaltS:

I clicked the Experience MapsGL,

That i get only if i check 'Advertise Firefox compatibilty' resulting in
an UA containing Firefox.

and got a blank map. WebGL is enabled in my SeaMonkey.

Works here for
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:18.0) Gecko/2012090700
Firefox/18.0 SeaMonkey/2.15a1-h

But i will not support the bad sniffing of Google and therefore disable
the FF compatibilty again. :)

You have Windows XP.  MapsGL requires Vista or Windows 7.  It also
requires advanced video hardware capabilities.



Ah Ha - That was the part I missed. Thanx.
That said I can't see why the OS should matter. Isn't this a browser 
capability issue?
As for Video. I'm on very nice Precision Laptop designed, in part, for 
high end video for engineering so I doubt the video is the issue.

MapsGL uses WebGL, which requires support from both the browser and your 
graphics card.

WebGL support was added in SeaMonkey 2.1.

Mozilla Foundation Security Advisory 2012-62 is not the same as the

Advisory 2012-62 says:
 The first issue is a use-after-free when WebGL shaders are called
 after being destroyed. The second issue exposes a problem with Mesa
 drivers on Linux, leading to a potentially exploitable crash.  
It refers to two CVEs (CVE-2012-3967 and CVE-2012-3968) that were both
submitted to the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures List within the
past two months.

The US-CERT vulnerability was reported more than a year ago and deals
with denial of service through crashes and cross-domain attacks.  These
appear to be CVE-2011-2366 (fixed with bug #655987) and
CVE-2011-2367 (fixed with bug #656752).

Despite the fix of the vulnerabilities noted by US-CERT and those noted
in Advisory 2012-62, there remain 214 open WebGL bugs, 29 of them
Critical and 7 of them Major.  Thus, I will continue to disable WebGL.

I hope that you realize that CVE's et al are sponsored by the same
source (US Homeland Security).

Further, I wasn't recommending that you keep WebGL enabled. I only have
two machines that are 'new' enough to run it  those are sandboxed for
any testing anyway.

JS issue with Google maps/SM 2

[Paul B. Gallagher]

Can't get Google maps to respond -- it seems to load OK, but the moment 
I start typing an address, it says loading... and then stops.


Their help file says this (out of date?):

[begin quote]

If you are running Mozilla Firefox 0.8+ or Netscape 7.1+ on Windows or 
Mac OS X, follow these steps:


   1. Type about:config in the browser's address bar.
   2. Type image in the Filter field.
   3. Look for the field dom.disable_image_src_set and verify that the 
value is set to FALSE.
   4. Look for the field network.image.imageBehavior is set to 0 (the 
default setting). In some browsers, this setting may be named 
permissions.default.image.


If you continue to experience difficulties, you may want to uninstall 
any programs or extensions that change the way your browser handles 
JavaScript. Other users have reported that these programs may affect the 
ability to view the maps.


[end quote]

What do these options really do? More specifically, how would I be 
changing SeaMonkey's behavior generally and on other sites?


My settings are currently false and 1, respectively. For 
permissions.default.image, this is the default, despite their statement. 
This page seems to think 0 is not an option and 1 should allow all 
images:

That used to be true. Now, no matter how long I wait (and I do have a 
broadband connection, I can download about 25 MB per minute), it doesn't 
work. The status bar says Done before I enter the address, and the 
spinner isn't moving, either. Doesn't matter. The moment I start typing, 
the yellow shaded Loading... appears at top, and when I hit Enter or 
Search Maps, I get (in quick succession):

Looking up maps.google.com
Waiting for maps.google.com
Done
but the map is still the entire North American continent. The pan, zoom, 
and scroll controls are unresponsive.


I've tried disabling AdBlock Plus entirely (everywhere), but no joy. 
That's not it.

When you first install the SM-2.1 (currently b2pre), the Firefox UA 
probably is turned-on by-default, but it is easily toggled-off via the 
menu:-
Edit  Preferences  Advanced  HTTP-networking  User Agent String  
and uncheck the Advertise Firefox compatibility box. No about:config 
scenario required.
I can't remember what the initial state is as I usually have it off, but 
it probably is turned-on to allow new users and people like me who 
forget to turn it back on when encountering problem sites, to surf 
without having to deal with that extra angst.
Oh, through dozens/hundreds of nightly upgrades which completely-clear 
the entire application-folder, but not the profile, the 
Firefox-UA-switch stays turned-off, in accordance with my preferences.

FYI and IIRC, this problem has been around for years ever since Google

I get the maps fine in SM 2.1b2pre, but not SM 2.0.11.

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:2.0b9pre)
Gecko/20101227 Firefox/4.0b9pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre (KDE 4.5.4)

I get the line on SM 2.0.11, but not the map! LOL!

So is it Linux or SeaMonkey?

WLS



This seems to be another case of screwed-up sniffing.

All of the following were done with SeaMonkey 2.0.11.

With the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16)
Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11
both the map and the blue overlaid route appear okay in my browser
window.  The the overlaid route DOES NOT appear in any print operation,
including preview.  Thus, the problem is not related to whether the
operating system is Windows or Linux.

With the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13)
Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13
both the map and the blue overlaid route appear okay in my browser
window.  The the overlaid route DOES indeed appear in print operations,
including preview.

In the case of SM 2.1b2pre, I suspect the pre is the key :-)  Google
Maps might have sniffed this as being for a Pre smart phone, in which
case the mapping apparently works.  (Not having -- or wanting -- any
smart phone, I can't test that.)  However, the experience of Barry
Gilmour indicates otherwise.  Maybe it's the combination of pre and
KDE that works.  Also not having Linux, this is another one I can't
test.

In the case of Opera, it might be a browser that Google ignores while
sniffing.

I found four open bug reports about invalid sniffing by Google.  While
two of them address problems with Google Maps, none of them specifically
address this problem.  I have submitted bug report #621619; see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621619.

The problem will not be fixed unless the Web site owner is informed.
(It might still not be fixed.)  NoOp is now responsible for notifying
Google of the problem; I won't.  You might want to read my
http://www.rossde.com/internet/sniffing.html  before notifying Google.

Nevermind. Sorted out that you were trying to say that the workaround
isn't really the solution. The purpose of tagging [Solved] was to let
others know:

1. The reason for the problem was found (thanks),
2. It's not a SeaMonkey issue,
3. A workaround is available.

IMO this is solved with regard to SeaMonkey. In other words, there
really isn't anything that SeaMonkey can do about it.

I agree that the overall issue won't be solved until Google fixes
their side, but good luck with that. Trying to get Google to fix their
side is like trying to use a kayak to turn an aircraft carrier into the
wind...

Example:

Same issue with Opera. But I am able to print the overlayed route marker
using Chromium or Google Chrome - same system, same printer(s).

Anyone know of a solution for this?

Note: I cannot reproduce on WinXPPro running in a virtual machine with
2.0.11, so I suspect that this is a linux only problem.

Sorry, forgot the screenshot of print preview using WinXP:

I get the maps fine in SM 2.1b2pre, but not SM 2.0.11.

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:2.0b9pre)
Gecko/20101227 Firefox/4.0b9pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre (KDE 4.5.4)

I get the line on SM 2.0.11, but not the map! LOL!

So is it Linux or SeaMonkey?

WLS


This seems to be another case of screwed-up sniffing.

All of the following were done with SeaMonkey 2.0.11.

With the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16)
Gecko/20101123 SeaMonkey/2.0.11
both the map and the blue overlaid route appear okay in my browser
window.  The the overlaid route DOES NOT appear in any print operation,
including preview.  Thus, the problem is not related to whether the
operating system is Windows or Linux.

With the UA string
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13)
Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13
both the map and the blue overlaid route appear okay in my browser
window.  The the overlaid route DOES indeed appear in print operations,
including preview.

In the case of SM 2.1b2pre, I suspect the pre is the key :-)  Google
Maps might have sniffed this as being for a Pre smart phone, in which
case the mapping apparently works.  (Not having -- or wanting -- any
smart phone, I can't test that.)  However, the experience of Barry
Gilmour indicates otherwise.  Maybe it's the combination of pre and
KDE that works.  Also not having Linux, this is another one I can't
test.

In the case of Opera, it might be a browser that Google ignores while
sniffing.

I found four open bug reports about invalid sniffing by Google.  While
two of them address problems with Google Maps, none of them specifically
address this problem.  I have submitted bug report #621619; see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621619.

Spot on the mark! I missed that one completely. Enabling Firefox 
spoofing restored Print-Preview to include the route-overlay in
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20101227 
Firefox/4.0b9pre SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre ID:20101227003001

In the case of SeaMonkey 21b2pre we also include Firefox/4.0b9pre in
the UA string.

You are correct, it is a case of browser sniffing. Just changed to:
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3)
Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3
and print preview  printing now includes the overlay. Also figured out
why it was working in my WinXP virtual machine. I have two versions of
SeaMonkey installed: 2.0.11 and 2.1b2pre. I had clicked hte 2.1b2pre
version for the test  thought that I had clicked the 2.0.11. The reason
why the 2.1b version works is that the UA string includes Firefox in
the UA string (as Barry also pointed out).

 
 In the case of Opera, it might be a browser that Google ignores while
 sniffing.

Now I just have to figure out how to file a bug report with Google...
Only way I've found is to use the Report a problem on the Maps page.
I'll try that, but suspect it will go into the Google ether.

I am running SM 1.1.19 on XP-SP3 and can zoom and pan Google Maps to any 
 level without any problems. Noted that is is slower today than usual 
when panning.



I'm using 1.1.19 and Google maps does not work in satellite view. I just 
get a white screen and then have to close SM.

That's one of the symptoms... it is some type of a sm refresh that has 
a white screen with only the title bar at the top... no menu, address 
line, etc... it does recover back onto the google page, they cycles back 
to a blank white screen.

Re: Google Maps and SM

[Beverly Howard]

Thanks for all of the responses.

I'm beginning to think that it may be specific to the austin, tx sat 
image server.


I duplicated the problem on a different computer running sm... the 
interesting thing is that the root problem is there but the symptoms are 
slightly different...


Initially there appeared to be no problem, but selecting a view where 
the distance index (lower left) showed 2,000 ft, moving the view several 
ttimes resulted in the same slowdowns until effectively locked up.


second computer;

xppro sp2, sm 1.1.17

seamonkey cpu holds at 98%

somewhat more mouse/cursor control but still slow, jerky

delayed button/command button responses

Will run some more tests.

Re: Google Maps and SM

 Will run some more tests. 

Ran some tests spoofing different browser user agents...

google maps quit working (would not load) when spoofing ie7

I then went back to the default user agent (seamonkey 1.1.17) and the 
problem is no longer there at the moment.


Confused,
