Are you saying that when you launch IE and type a URL into the address bar, it becomes SeaMonkey? When you run IE, what do you see when you go to Help -> About Internet Explorer? I've been using various browsers since about ... what? 89? When they first became - and I've never seen this. I'm guessing you're not typing your URL into IE, but into something else. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
