I have windows 10 and at present SeaMonkey v2.48.
I would really like to stick with SeaMonkey so any ideas/suggestions as
to how I can do that.
If your profile has been around since the Netscape era, chances are that
you've accumulated a lot of cruft there, and where the problem is not
AT&T or "Seamonkey", so much as it is the specifics of your Seamonkey
profile. And if you're seeing better results in Firefox/Thunderbird,
then it's likely that the reason is newer profiles.
See what happens when you launch Seamonkey in Safe Mode -- that may help.
In the longer run, you may want to consider building up a new profile
from scratch. One of the things that I do routinely is to maintain a
"bare metal" profile, where nearly all the settings are default (and no
extensions installed). There are times when I have fussy behavior with
Seamonkey (and I'm fairly strict with permissions on Cookies, and use of
both NoScript and AdBlock Plus), and if I switch over to the bare metal
profile, I can easily check if it's something that's wrong with
Seamonkey, or it's my profile. Nearly always, it's the profile.
I also had a profile that dated back to Netscape, and I found that it
was useful to move to a new profile. Among other things, my prefs.js
file had an impressive accumulation of defs for printers no longer in
use, and it was good to get that cleaned up, even if the effect was
mostly cosmetic. However, with other stuff in the profile (including
reinstalling extensions from new downloads) did help with performance
and stability.
For doing a new profile with Seamonkey, it's not hard to do the browser
side, by copying from one profile to another. For most users, the
primary focus is bookmarks, and saved login credentials although some
may want to transition cookies and cookie permissions. Mail/news takes
a little more effort, especially if you're a POP user. Besides server
settings and mail stores, you also have to transition things like rules.
I interacted with a user not too long ago (and I think it was in the
Thunderbird support group) who indicated that using Mozilla Sync was
also helpful.
In any case, I'm inclined to believe that if you're using either Safe
Mode or a fresh profile, you probably won't be having problems with AT&T
(including use of AT&T branded stuff at Yahoo).
