I suggest you install the PrefBar extension from <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/prefbar/>. Then import the Permissions Menu menulist from <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html/category/privacy#permissionsmenu>. This gives you the old managers for Popups, Cookies, Images, and Installation, including their whitelist and blacklist maintenance. -- David E. Ross The Crimea is Putin's Sudetenland.
