I'm hoping they will provide for it, since the Forcefield approach sounds like a useful one. Thank you for that, and I am sorry if I have muddied the waters. I will be most interested in what the ZA techs have to say. It does sound like an interesting concept, perhaps there is some way you can add SeaMonkey to the list. Their reply was a non-committal we're looking at it, and that they will definitely continue to cover Firefox. So, for the occasional time when Forcefield is useful, I'll use IE. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
