I get my computer connection to the world through Comcast. After years of ATT, Comcast is a nightmare. Cannot use ATT because I moved to an apartment that will not allow any outside wires which ATT needs to connect both tv and computer. So now using Comcast. Two weeks ago, the comcast box died and could not can computer connection to the world. So, after a week, a service man came and connected me to a new box. Too my surprise, when I turned on the computer, I no longer had the screen that usually popped up but got a strange looking one, instead. Turned out I was now on Windows10! It was like greek after my old Windows I was on which I think was 8. Anyhow, I tried to go backwards through a windows app and looks like I might be in windows 8 again but not really sure, just know it works better. However, it does not like SeaMonkey. Could not set up tabs and links didn't work. At the same time, Yahoo email that ATT uses for email went through a new update. I tried to set up my mail with Sea Monkey on my computer and on my laptop which didn't go through the windows problem but can no longer download my mail.
Now have to go to E to get on yahoo and then read and answer mails there. So far, online, I have found 3 different directions on how to set up my mail so I could download it on SeaMonkey, none worked. I still have my laptop with SeaMonkey and that is where I am working on trying to get my email. It was not online during the connection problem so SeaMonkey is working wonderfully on it, except for my email. Yesterday I set up Firefox which allows me, at least, to set up tabs (like I used to be able to do with SeaMonkey) but still need to go to Yahoo site to read and answer my email. I really want to go back to SeaMonkey which I have used since day one, back in the 1990s after Mozzilla quit. Any suggestions on how I can get Sea Monkey to work on my computer again. They have a conflict and I cannot even go from tab to tab, hard also to set up my tabs.
