There is no solution to the OP's issue. Just the javascript slider script, not all page navigation. I don't use the sliding strip, so I didn't notice when it was gone. I guess it's up to the OP to decide whether it's a suitable enough workaround. I'd think there should be a way to deny a site's access to keystroke events via CAPS policies, but CAPS itself is so annoying to deal with that I can't make myself try it. -- »Q« /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign \ / against html e-mail X <http://www.asciiribbon.org/> / \ _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
