Very interesting!! If I select the link to "It's an attack" from Thunderbird (i.e., from the above reply) or paste the URI in the SeaMonkey address area, the Web page is blocked. If I select the link from my SeaMonkey bookmarks, the page is NOT blocked. -- David E. Ross I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can be used when autocomplete=off.
