Interviewed by CNN on 9/1/2010 18:57, OldTimer told the world:
The install instruction at the download site (www.chuonthis.com)stated
to save the file to [SeaMonkey] but I don't know which file to use.
1) c:\Documents& Settings\sony\Application Data\Mozilla\Seamonkey ?
(There's also an "extension" subfolder in Mozilla).
2) c:\program Files\Mozilla.org\SeaMonkey ?
For the time being I've placed the download file (folderpane.xpi) on my
desktop.
The install instructions are to open Tools and select "Extensions" and
click Install button. The Tools menu in either SM folder (above)
doesn't have "Extensions, but does have "Add-on Manager". However when
I click on "Add-on Manager" there's no folderpane extension listed.
And I thought I was doing so well getting it downloaded to my PC.
Can you take me through the next steps?
Oh, you are almost there. You already have the folderpane.xpi file, and
you already know where the Add-On Manager is.
Now:
- Open the Add-On Manager.
- Click on the second icon (Extensions) -- the one that looks like a
green jigsaw puzzle piece.
- Click on the "Install" button on the lower left.
- Select the folderpane.xpi file from where you saved it (apparently
your desktop) and open it.
There you go!
The folderpane.xpi fanished from my desktop and there's no sign of it
when I Search. So I downloaded it again.
When I attempted to "Install" it in the "Add-On Manager" I got the
message: "Incompatible Extension: Folderpane Tools will not be installed
because it does not provide secure updates."
I decided to try the "easier" way and so I deleted folderpane.xpi and as
per instructions at Dotnetwizard.net "to turn compatibility checking
back on ...by going into 'about.config' and type
'extensions.checkCompatibility' into the search bar at top of list ..
when your entry comes up, right click on it and select 'Toggle'from the
context menu."
1st problem: I don't have a search bar at the top of the list - There's
a "Filter" bar. So I scrolled down to locate
"extensions.checkCompatibility"
2nd problem: There's no listing for "extensions.checkCompatibility"??
Does this mean I've done something serious? (could this have anything to
do with SM freezing in "Compose" after first letter of an address is
entered?)
Where to now?
Ed
Well, I went ahead and tried the "easier" way - (thanks to MCBastos &
Philip), and my accounts are arranged in the order I want and I've also
set a different account as default. You can't know how much your help
has been appreciated.
But now I'm still left with the two questions:
1) I understand I originally disabled the compatibility check. How can
I be sure it has been enabled and if it hasn't, how can I enable it in
the light of my comments in my previous message?
2) Do you think any of this has anything to do with SM "compose"
freezing? If not, I'll start another thread for this problem.
Thanks,
Ed
