Creating a new thread for previously unsolved problem. User agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
SeaMonkey/2.15.1.
Issue: On versions 2.14 - 2.15.1, SM disables use of Java v7 upd 11, no
matter what Java security is set to, after first email sync. On 2 PCs
(this tower, and a laptop running Win7, SM 2.14, Java 7 upd 11)
Have spent 2 days trying to sort this. If I create a new profile Java
works fine, but at some point of restoring settings from previous
profiles (mail content, bookmarks, etc.), eventually it stopped working
again. Thought it was Theme, then one or more add-ons, then bookmarks,
then old mail. Finally found it was ANY mail download.
Stripped SM from tower PC: uninstalled, then deleted folders, then
cleared all SM references out of registry. Defrag'd HDD, restarted PC.
Downloaded new install of SM 2.15.1 using IE, installed. Created new
profile in new folder, NOT in default directory. Made basic changes to
home page/group, tabbed browsing and cache. Verified Java functionality
at wife's favorite game site, uk.Pogo.com.
Went thru new email wizard, manually added all settings for mail server
access. Had browser open to Add-Ons Mgr screen to watch Java SE plugin
status. First tries to sync w/mail server failed, 'cause I'd mis-typed
the username. Fixed that, mail sync'd, Java SE status went red in
Add-Ons Mgr.
Repeat: this is a clean install with a new profile; no add-ons or
themes added, no old content copied from previous profile.
Please!!! I've spent an awful amount of time getting to this point.
Java themselves don't recommend any prior versions due to security, so
putting old installs on don't help. Can someone take pity on this user
and point out what I may have missed??????
