I use multiple computers, and I want to setup the profile (or at least the bookmarks file) in a given place, on my own server, not on a public server (regardless of any privacy assurances) - will look at the "portable" version of SeaMonkey to see if it allows me to do what I need. Right now, with v 2.2, Seamonkey is loosing the edge it had over FF in customization capabilities. It still lets you select where to put the cache files without editing config files, like you have to do with FF, and its cookie options are easier for me to find and tweak, but taking away the "open bookmark file" which was there since at least Mozilla 0.98 is plain stupid, and I can see no advantage whatsoever for doing so. SM still has the single URL bar advantage (I hate with a passion the two bars on top of IE and FF, one for URL and one for search, at least Chrome got that right), but it is wearing thin..... It is pain to switch browsers, specially after you used one for a long time, but between bugs (printing, specially pages with frames, has been broken for a long time in Seamonkey - you get the first page, but not the rest; view page in IE and it prints just fine, and HTML editor seems to be broken in 2.2), features removed arbitrarly (like open bookmark file), and extensions no longer working in new revisions, the pain level for doing nothing is also getting fairly high. For now, 2.0.14 still works, and if Portable Seamonkey or SyncPlaces gives me a workaround the removed features in 2.2, I'll try to stay with Seamonkey, if not, I am open for suggestions :) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
