Sorry, forgot to add that I *do* realise that the Firefox redirect is not standard and that I can reset it easily. I normally use linux, but I've been using Windows the past few days to troubleshoot some LibreOffice issues and have been using both FF and SM in the process. My point was/is that entering arbitrary 'searches' in the URL address bar is, IMO a security issue overall. That's probably why I've managed to disable it in SeaMonkey... now I just have to remember how (the CRS is getting worse lately). _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
