Yes, but note that the "main Window" is from a local file on my hard drive. That window is an HTML representation of my bookmarks. On launching SeaMonkey, I can select a bookmark for another local file on my hard drive; that renders immediately. Thereafter, the first time I select a bookmark to a page on the Web -- requiring communication over the Internet -- there is a delay. Subsequent selection of links to pages on the Web do not have that delay. Thus, the delay has something to do with initializing a connection to the Internet. > Further to this, I don't really understand the second paragraph, about > the "throbber" and the "bubble".

Right-click on the SeaMonkey tool bar or menu bar, select the blue-circle icon from the Customize Toolbar window, drag the icon onto either your menu bar (which I did) or your tool bar. That is a throbber, which shows rising bubbles while SeaMonkey is downloading and rendering a Web page. > One other idea for your specific issue, have you tried disabling > extensions and plugins and launching again?

Ross Republicans scream that Hillary Clinton was responsible for the tragedy in Benghazi. They conveniently forget that it was the Republican-controlled Congress that drastically cut the State Department's budget for embassy and consulate protection. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
