WFM = "works for me"

Don't feel stupid about WFM.  Too many people are now using their own
acronyms in place of English phrases because of Twitter and other
texting systems.  Usually, only those who create such acronyms know what
they mean.

A frequent participant in Mozilla newsgroups is Tanstaafl.  That is not
someone's name; that is an acronym for "There ain't no such thing as a
free lunch".  I also see WTF and ROTFLMAO.  Here, SM is NOT "sadism and
masochism; it is SeaMonkey.  TB is not tuberculosis; it is Thunderbird.

Newsgroup messages are not Twitter tweets.  We all could understand the
discussions better if participants used English (or their native
language) and not acronyms.

I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can
be used when autocomplete=off.  See
