Walter. I get this sometimes when the link is actually for JavaScript. The script tries to launch a new page (which in my case becomes a new tab) as it fetches the PDF file. It seems that the script actually downloads another script (new page) that, in turn, gets the PDF file. Obviously, if this is what is happening, it's a poorly designed Web site. In my opinion there is no need at all for SM to open a blank tab/page when it's the PDF reader that is launched, no matter how the web page is designed! Why not just open the PDF reader? I don't think it necessarily is supposed to. On occasion, when SeaMonkey crashes for whatever reason it goes to a Blank Home page the only way to cure is go to your homepage. then go to Preferences (in Macintosh - called something else in Widows/Linux/UNIX) then To Browser clear out what ever you have set as home page and click on Use current page) this will fix it until next crash. Possibly the same mechanism the screws up then is screwing up when you call a PDF and the only PDF viewer from within SM or ThunderBird for that matter, that works is called PDF Browser Plugin by Schubert of Germany. There's no crash involved with this, though - it's just this extra, blank page that opens up while the PDF is downloading and before whatever external PDF reader is called, and which stays open and blank, even after the PDF reader is exited. It's not a crash, and it's really only cumbersome to the extent that it requires one click on the X to close it away, but it's still a bug. -JW Cannot see the prob, myself!! You tell SM to open a page called www.somethinghere.com/otherthing.pdf The first thing SM does is start to look for the www.somethinghere.com so opens a new browser (or in a current browser) page, then, and only then, does SM look at the next bit otherthing.pdf and realises that it needs to do whatever you have set up to handle a pdf file. Cannot see the prob!! Of course, my understanding of the situation might be stuffed, but it seems to apply.

The small one is a reasonable short note, even with use of a few fonts for highlighting and rendering the mailing address in the sig as a mailto: link, the size is only a few hundred bytes larger than pure text. I had another, but lost it, using one indented paragraph in fixed with text (pre) so the shell script would stand out. That only added another hundred bytes or so, and made it much easier to read. I had to delete it, there was some client info in the script, sorry. The medium size has a quite fancy signature with a cartoon, and a bit of fonts and such, it's 12k and I only have that sig for a demo, not as a normal thing. The last has an embedded image, and it is larger, but can be viewed by someone who is behind a firewall which limits http access. It's large because the sender made it that way, not because it's HTML, and it does have an advantage of being viewable if you download and read offline. I send out a newsletter to ~200 people, and based on complaints I think about 8-10% do download and read later offline. People who pay by the connect minute, I'm told.

Thanks for assistance about:config --- New string: general.useragent.extra.firefox - user set - string - NOT Firefox/2.0.0.12 or other version like 3.5 The NOT is so that anyone (live person, not software) looking at the server log will see that SeaMonkey actually displayed the page. I would suggest, however, that you use an extension such as PrefBar or User Agent Switcher and delete the change to about:config. These extensions allow you to spoof Firefox or other browsers as needed without permanently spoofing. Thus, other Web sites that work okay with SeaMonkey will continue to have SeaMonkey logged when you visit them. Does as needed really work right? Or does that mean after you manually enter a list of sites to spoof? I avoid extensions, one more chance to do some unscheduled debugging. But having a profile with the bookmarks of sites needing Firefox and having the config option set makes sense and is nice and portable to another machine. I do not have many extensions installed; but I would find surfing the Web difficult without PrefBar, whose toolbar I use in place of SeaMonkey's personal toolbar. PrefBar comes with a preset list of spoofing user agent (UA) strings. I sometimes update that list when I actually see the UA string of a newer version of Firefox or Internet Explorer. Updating is simple. My SeaMonkey extensions are * Adblock Plus 1.1.3 (http://adblockplus.org/) * DOM Inspector 2.0.4 (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/inspector/) * Flashblock 1.3.16 (http://flashblock.mozdev.org/) * Live HTTP headers 0.16 * PrefBar 5.0.2 (http://prefbar.mozdev.org/) * Show Password On Input 0.1.3 (https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/6143/) The DOM Inspector was delivered with SeaMonkey and not something I chose to install. I get along without them, but I did put your list in my notes in case I find a machine where the feature is required or desired by someone else. -- Bill Davidsen david...@tmr.com We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the machinations of the wicked. - from Slashdot ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Walter. Walter, it can be done either of two ways, one loading Adobe Reader as a separate program and the other using Adobe Reader as a helper program to load the page with-in SM. Walter, have a look back through the posts here, and look for a thread called Constant crash on PDF links about 5-6 days ago. Could have an answer for you. HTH Daniel Daniel, I did look at the posts in constant crash on PDF links but did not find the problem mentioned there. As I explained in my original post, when I invoke the adobe reader then load the file I get NO blank page. It is only when I click on the pdf file and SM calls adobe reader, then the blank page is behind the pdf display. By the way, this has showed up after I downloaded and installed SM 2.0.3. walte. Same here. In the 1.x.x versions you had a choice Open in Browser or Open in (program). It seems as though the choice went away in 2.x.x. When opening in (program) a blank page was displayed, when opening in the browser it appeared in the tab. Strangely, I have discovered that if I go back to the page from which I came, (where I clicked on the pdf link) it will display that page as long as I have not xed the pdf page. After I x the pdf page, then the page from which I came (link to the pdf) is now blank. In checking the plugins, I find that adobe reader is the default reader of pdf files.
