I am using SeaMonkey 2.17.1 on WinXP Pro SP3
User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/20.0 SeaMonkey/2.17.1
Build identifier: 20130410205058
I just updated from SM 2.12 to 2.17.1, taking the opportunity to
cleanup my obsolete profile [some items likely trace their
history back to Netscape 4.?].
My procedure was to:
1. rename prefs.js
2. delete user.js
3. create a new profile - object being to get a clean default
prefs.js
4. start SeaMonkey once with that profile in case there was any
housekeeping required
5. copy the resulting prefs.js to my "active" profile directory
6. create a user.js containing only lines containing "mailnews"
from the old prefs.js
7. start SeaMonkey once with that profile encase there was any
housekeeping required
8. create my desired user.js containing those items that may be
changed during a session but I wish to be in a specific state
each time I start SeaMonkey.
9. Run SeaMonkey tweaking some preferences with
Edit->Preferences (start page etc)
I now have two browser and one news problems. I've determined
that they are profile related as I have the same set of symptoms
running SM 2.12 or 2.17.1 .
In the browser:
I get a drop down message bar saying:
"SeaMonkey prevented this page from automatically reloading."
An affected URL is
[http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=&sid=KSGF&num=48&raw=0&dbn=m&banner=off]
When doing a Google search, either by entering search terms in
URL box and clicking "Search" or by going to
https://www.google.com/ and entering terms there.
I get a drop down message bar saying:
"SeaMonkey prevented this page from automatically redirecting to
another page."
There is no problem once in Google re specifying search terms.
When using USENET
I use two news servers news.supernews.com and news.mozilla.org .
In news.supernews.com, when there are new messages in a group an
icon shows before the groups title. That icon remains until I
have displayed all the new messages or switched to another group
regardless of whether or not there are messages marked as unread
[that is DESIRED behavior].
In news.mozilla.org that icon never appears.
I've unsuccessfully searched for the incorrect setting.
Suggestions. TIA
