browser won't open html files on disk
Just installed Seamonkey 2.0.1 Browser on a MacBook Pro (running 10.5.8). Migration from 1.1.18 when reasonably smoothly. Just two problems: one minor and one major (given my usage) major problem: Seamonkey will not open HTML files located on my HD ... not when double-clicked, not with keyboard command, not with Finder menu option either. The application will launch but the file is not displayed ... just a blank screen. The only way to get the page to display is you use the "Open File..." menu within Seamonkey. !?!??! Very odd ... Any clues? This is a deal-breaker as far as my be willing to use this software, as I used the various previous versions of this program to create and edit simple html files. minor problem: needing to type password every time I launch the program ... ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Just a shot in the dark using Win XP. When you saved your files to the CD disk those files may have had their user permissions reset to Read Write Execute to 0 0 0. Suggestion: Create a folder (directory) on your hard drive then copy all the files from your CD,look at the folder on your HD for the file permissions and set all files from yhat folder to read, write, execute. Make sure there is an "index.html" in this folder so SM can automatically open the home pafe.

It's working for me - though I did have some funny stuff going on with SM 2.0.x not coming to front on launch for a bit. What I ended up having to do was to was use a utility to rebuild launch services - that's an OS X thing. I used Main Menu, but Onyx from Titanium Software will also allow you to do the same, and that one is free: http://www.titanium.free.fr/index_us.html -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It should either open the item or open you home page window. I have a Bug where I have home page to open and if I don't have Browser and email to starts (just email), it opens about Blank. There is two ways to cure it for a little while before it creeps up again. Go to Preferences appearance and set Browser and email to open at start up shut down preferences , Shut down SM2 start SM and its fixed. Or go to preferences > browser and remove all content with the Box. Then choose use current page. and That fixes it for a while. about:blank should never come up for any reason. -- Phillip M.
