Was SeaMonkey 2.0 really ready for release?

[OldCroc]

With all the problems that too many seasoned users, of SeaMonkey,are
having, is it possible that the "Final" release of version 2.0 was
released PREMATURELY?? Yes, there are many satisfied users, also, but
there ARE too many who are NOT and the attitude of the developers
should be to listen to the users, and try to rectify Version 2.0 OR
WITHDRAW IT UNTIL IT REALLY IS READY!!! I have read where it is said
that the old code was not usable anymore, or could Not be corrected,
but it seems to me, that Version 2.0 IS NO BETTER! WHY DID THE
DEVELOPERS COMPLETELY IGNORE WHAT THE USERS WERE SAYING ALL ALONG, AND
THEN DEVELOP A LIMPING NOT-READY FOR PRIME TIME VERSION, ANYWAY?

These are sometimes called "challenge questions".  When you answer the
question correctly, the site sets a cookie in your profile.  The next
time you try to login, the site fetches the cookie and bypasses the
question if the cookie contains the correct information.  Sometimes, the
cookie will be for the domain of the outside service that created the
software used by the financial institutions.  Thus, you might not only
have to accept cookies "normally" (permanently and not merely for the
current session), but also you might have to enable all cookies and not
merely those for the originating Web site.

I have found that some sites restrict bypassing the challenge question
by sniffing for what browser you are using.  Only "approved" browsers
will bypass the question.  Of course (unfortunately), they sniff for
"Firefox" and not for "Gecko".  Thus, with SeaMonkey, you will always be
asked a challenge question.  (Sniffing also means that the question will
be asked if you change browsers.)

I stopped trying to convince two banks, two credit unions, and a mutual
fund group that sniffing for "Firefox" is wrong.  Instead, I setup a
special profile for accessing financial institutions.  In this profile,
I always spoof for Firefox with the following UA string:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4)
   Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0 NOT Firefox/3.5.3
I also have set this profile to accept all cookies "normally".  I never
use this profile unless I intend to logon to one of my financial
accounts.  To get public information from any of the institutions'
sites, I use my normal profile.

A few sites assume everyone has broadband with a fixed IP address.  This
is a very bad assumption.  Approximately 10% of Internet users in the
U.S. still use dial-up with a new IP address each time they connect.  On
top of that, you might get a new IP address when you reboot your
broadband modem.  You might try viewing your cookies -- on the menu bar,
select [Tools > Cookie Manager > Manage Stored Cookies] -- and see if
you detect an IP address as the value of a cookie that has the domain of
your credit union's Web site.  If so, the credit union has a real
problem that needs to be fixed.

By the way, a number of studies have concluded that challenge questions
and also security images provide no security.  In place of the
questions, you need to have strong passwords that you don't write down
on a PostIt or save in an unencrypted file.  In place of images, you
need (1) to check that the padlock icon appears in the lower-right
corner of your SeaMonkey browser window and (2) never access your
account from a link in an E-mail or newsgroup message.



This does not happen with CapitalOne. No matter how many times you login 
from the same IP, you get the challenge question each and every time, 
cookies or not. This "may" be the case with this OP's situation, who knows.

Re: Can't get profile to Seamonkey2.0

[William Morrison]

It must be finding it to run because all my separate in-boxes for mail 
and filters to them are there and working along with my bookmarks and 
passwords in Navigator. 1.1.18 by itself in running great it just 
doesn't show a named profile in profile manager.and now I've sort of run 
into another problem with 2.0. Someone suggested that I reinstall 2.0 to 
another separate directory so I did. Now I'm trying to uninstall 2.0 so 
I go to control panel>add/remove programs where I only find one 
installation of 2.0 I click remove and it goes through the uninstall 
process but it only removed the original install of 2.0 and even after a 
reboot there is no listing of the second install in add/remove. I've 
looked through most of the directories of 2.0 for an uninstall program 
but cannot find any, so how do i remove the second install of 2.0? One 
other thing I just remembered, awhile back I had a malware problem and 
in getting rid of it I deleted some needed files for the system to 
boot-up correctly so I installed a fresh copy of XP over itself which 
created a new user profile for Windows, could this be part of my problem.

That dosn't sound promising. If SM1.1.18 doesn't find it's own profile,
SM2 profile migration wizard probably fails on that, too.

  

and if I try to create a new

Well that's normal and what a new profile is supposed to be ;-)


  

so I check profile manager in 2.0 and it shows a profile named "Default
User2", that's one I had created from the previous install of 2.0 but
when I do a search with Windows search using just the keyword "Default"
it finds every other occurrence of the word default except that one on
any of the four hard drives I have on this computer. This is really
getting confusing 



That's stupid XP, its search commonly excludes important folders. Make
sure you have the following checkboxes enabled:
http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/558/xpsearch.png
Maybe you want to search for "Seamonkey" instead of "default" to not get
so many results.
After you succeed fel free to delete all unnecessary profiles and start
again.
If everything fails again, you could also create your mail-accounts in
the new SM2 profile, then exit SM2 and copy your bookmarks.html and
inbox/sent/... files over the new and empty SM2 ones from your old profile.


  

I think I might just do like some of the others
have said and stay with 1.1.18 until the next version of Seamonkey comes




I doubt that this will correct your already existing profile issue, sry.


  

out unless it requires me to install 2.0 before I can upgrade to
anything newer and if that happens I might as well switch back to
Eudora, I've had people tell me it just laughs at viruses because it
can't open them and just deletes them.


executable files are being executed by the user and the operating

Yes, looks like MS-Office (2004) is the culprit. At least Word &
Excel. Not Powerpoint.
Other browsers are ok (Safari, Firefox), Preview, and a few other
fairly specialized apps.
I don't have OpenOffice or MS-Office 2008 to try.
Thanks for checking.

Just tested and it _does_ work in SM 1.1.18, but not in SM 2.0 (tested
on WinXP w/no spoofing as that seems to be what Ken is running).

Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U17

File name: npoji610.dll
Classic Java Plug-in 1.6.0_17 for Netscape and Mozilla

So it appears that there is an issue w/SM 2.0 & Java & 1.1.18. Not sure
if it's the application's problem, or SM 2.0's problem. But it is
reproducible. No errors in the 1.1.18 java console.

(note to the folks on bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=525601 - I just copied that
Java info from a working WinXP SM2.0 across a VNC network connection to
this post :-).

Actually, I had a look at that bug. Jens Hatlak suggested checking
another bug ( https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=334500 ), for
a nearly identical problem that plagued Firefox back in 2006... which
turned out to be caused by spyware.

So, there's a fair chance that it isn't a Seamonkey bug at all, but a
problem caused by spyware. Try some spyware scanner; some good free ones
are Ad-Aware, Spybot and Malwarebytes.

Nearly the same here... If SM is running it opens 'Welcome to
SeaMonkey.'

I note that I can drag the just clicked link onto the 'Welcome...'
page and open it.
I also note that if I change the get info to 'Open with SeaMonkey' SM
still opens with 'Welcome...'

Without further details, my guess would be that you had/have something
else wrong with your system. That's not to discount that something in
the SM installer didn't contribute to the issue, but I see no possible
way to show otherwise without additional details. _If_ SM did create the
problem, then it would be most helpful to know how/why as that's a
pretty serious issue.

 You still haven't provided details regarding the OS & hardware. Please
also provide the *exact* information regarding "trashed all my files in
acouple of folders" + what (if any) antivirus you use, when you last
scanned your system with the AV, etc.

I think the other respondents aren't getting it.

My credit union does the same thing. At the very least
it keeps track of the ip address I log in from. If I
try to log in from another ip it asks one of the ten
security questions.

Is it a laptop? Are you logging in from different
locations such as a coffee shop or public library?

I've also noticed that when I switch browsers it also
asks a question so it's not just the ip address they're
looking at. If you're not logging in from different
locations it may have something to do your cookie
settings.



We're "getting it" as best we can with the information provided. The OP 
didn't say anything about logging in from a different location, hence a 
different IP address. The OP only changes browsers to IE and it works 
whereas SM asks every time. There are a lot of "ifs" involved here and 
IF the OP were to supply more specific info, we can stop guessing and 
assuming maybe. Your IP assumption BTW is correct, I've seen this before.

Whatever... afaik InternetExplorer doesn't have a FormManager like that
at all, so this might be a Cookie issue instead?

I think the other respondents aren't getting it.

My credit union does the same thing. At the very least
it keeps track of the ip address I log in from. If I
try to log in from another ip it asks one of the ten
security questions.

Is it a laptop? Are you logging in from different
locations such as a coffee shop or public library?

I've also noticed that when I switch browsers it also
asks a question so it's not just the ip address they're
looking at. If you're not logging in from different
locations it may have something to do your cookie
settings.

Remembering a password will not "remember" a security question(s).

Such as:

Q: What is your father's birthday
A: July 25, 1915

Now, if it's the same question and all you configured was only ONE
question/answer then formfill should remember that, not password manager.

but as forms manager in SM it does remember it but you have to type one 
or two letters for the pop ups to show. in the old forms Manager in 
1.1.8 if you filled  out a form and need to fill out a form somewhere 
else as soon as you tabbed to say name the name would appear.  If 
something wrong you went to forms Managers and clicked on each page and 
changed the items as necessary.  A Far better system than now.


people here a have complained about the code was lost. But they could 
have tried out the forms Manager on 1.1.x saw how it worked then 
mimicked the operation with new code.


That why when you go to a new code base you lose a lot of great features 
in Previous version. Because no one wants to be bothered with seeing how 
a feature works, they get lazy and say, we don't need it any way so we 
will just chuck it no one will notice.




Any "forms manager" should NOT remember passwords, huge security risk.

I'm extremely disappointed in Seamonkey 2.0.  The mail program bugs

didn't like the "feel" and they weren't integrated as a suite.  Now
Seamonkey has lost it's original feel. Things that I liked about
Seamonkey are gone (quick launch, quick mail filter 'clear' button).

I've reported two or three of the glaring problems (folder listings
disappearing, compact related issues). Until the major bugs are fixed,
I'll stick with version 1.18.


I really do understand your frustration. To be completely honest with 
you, you can certainly return to 1.1.18.  But you do have to realize 
that you are sticking with a complete dead end.


You can do that. Heck there are people out there still running the last 
version of the Mozilla suite, Netscape 7.2, even a few still trying to 
get Communicator to work. The older the abandoned product gets, the less 
functional it becomes.


For a good while, probably quite a while, 1.1.18 will continue to work, 
and work quite well.  But the days are numbered and the clock is 
ticking. I doubt that you will see any security updates for the 1.1 line.


If you value the suite approach, and if you want to have a product that 
is going to carry you into the future with any certainty, making 2.0 
work is the only real way to go.


The only other real option is to go Firefox/Thunderbird.  Its a good 
option, but I am willing to bet that you will have just as much 
conversion problems going that route as you will staying with SeaMonkey.


I am sorry this has been so difficult for you.

I believe that the biggest problem, is that bugs are most of the time 
never solved. Or ..too late. Per exemple did you expect a good date for 
the  patch to solve the copy/cut problem

Re: SM 2.0 Ubuntu 8.04 .deb package (64-bit) , also for Debian 5

[Anonymous S.]

Lou 提到:
Since Ubuntu won't release SM 2.0 for 8.04 (Hardy Heron), I decided to 
compile it myself and made a .deb package.  Anyone interested in trying 
it can get it here (click on seamonkey_2.0-1_amd64.deb to download)
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=9db35479c75a777d08f8df73f2072ed6e04e75f6e8ebb871 



It installs to /usr/local/lib/seamonkey-2.0 and the executable goes to 
/usr/local/bin/seamonkey.  On a standard Ubuntu installation, that 
should be on your path and should run from a terminal with no problems, 
but you may have to edit the menu entry (KDE, Gnome,)  to point to 
the right place.


Thanks! It's also working on Debian 5 (I'm testing this .deb with Debian 
5.0.3 , stable distribution, amd64, GNOME)


At first I installed SM2 as root account (without caution...), but looks 
like everything was fine. I can run seamonkey as normal user account.


but I can not run SM2 from /usr/local/bin/seamonkey (so I removed it 
later. --sorry I forgot the error message.) Instead of it,

another path /usr/local/lib/seamonkey-2.0/seamonkey is OK.

This package is helpful, so I don't have to ready an environment for 
building SM2.


Relaxing.

Yes, it's an error in their application. The application needs to be
able to find all the classes (runtime application objects) that it
requires to run the application. It can't find the one called:
commonknowledge.class.

This means either the class is missing from the applet package, or
the application manifest doesn't include a viable Class Path (the
path used by the application to locate class objects).

What happens if you spoof a Firefox user agent identity?


I *am* spoofing NOT Firefox 3.5, which seems to work for most 
applications.  Anyway, the puzzles on this site don't work in 
Firefox itself *or* Google Chrome.  It doesn't work in SM 2.0 with 
the "experimental" IE Tab feature.  It *only* works in IE itself.  I 
can't test it with SM 1.1.18 because I've discarded it.  But, as you 
say...


Note that I'm still running 1.1.X here, and the puzzles work for
me, so I can't test that.


Well, yes, I never had a problem before with SM 1.1.18 or prior 
versions.  So why now?


Good luck.


I suspect luck has little to do with it.  And since the site doesn't 
seem to care (in other words not enough people are complaining) I 
guess I'll just have to give up my daily puzzle fix.  I'll get over 
it.  I'm certainly not going to load IE just for this.

If that's correct, it's perfect.

Cool! I've done the same on my other systems and that does indeed make
nntp livable again.


After starting it again today, everything is working correctly with your

pasting into composer

[jpdphd]

I have been using SeaMonkey 1.x for sometime and ran into this problem
only after switching to SM2.0 the other day (Mac OSX).

When pasting text that was copied from one program (say excel or word)
into Composer, the result is a string of information about the source
of the text, followed by the text itself. For example, this is the
result of a copy/paste operation from word (Office 2004)

Version:1.0 StartHTML:000265 EndHTML:002711 StartFragment:
002541 EndFragment:002675 SourceURL:file://localhost/Users...
Equilibration

all I wanted was the word "Equilibration".

btw, "Paste without formatting" does the same thing.

I have no trouble copying from TextEdit - even when text is heavily
formatted.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Stes that have Security Questions

[John D Jacoby]

*Hi,
For example, my Credit Union has a security feature and asks me for 
the answer when I log on.  After doing this one time with Internet 
Explorer it no longer asks for an answer and all I need to do is enter 
the Account number and a password.  With SeaMonkey, it asks every time!  
Is there a setting that I need to make so that I no longer need to keep 
giving a Security Answer in SeaMonkey?

Thanks for any help,

SQLite uses a separate "journal" file to provide the ability to roll

SQLite in-memory operations."

Site problem

[Ken Rudolph]

Win-XP 3rd. SM 2.0

OK, here's a strange one.  I've even had an e-mail exchange with the 
site and received really weird advice, more about that below.


The site is http://www.puzzability.com/puzzles/index.shtml .  When I 
click on any of the java encoded puzzles (for instance Common 
Knowledge) java fails to work giving an error message "Error. Click 
for details" with a lot of gobbledegook which means nothing to me. 
This even after reloading the most current version of java for 
Mozilla.  The same exact thing happens with Firefox and Google 
Chrome.  The site does work fine in IE 7.0, however.  But, and 
here's the strange thing, when I finally figured out how to add 
Coral IETab to SM 2.0 and used it, it still doesn't work with SM 
2.0:  it doesn't give the same java error message; but the java logo 
just keeps spinning and nothing happens.


I contacted the support person at the site and she wrote me that 
they were sorry about this; but a possible workaround that "works 
for others" was IE Tab.  Haha.


Anybody else noticing this?  Any ideas?

I use my Hosts file for its intended purpose, as a local DNS database.
I even have an application that maintains it, allowing me to add or

Further testing shows that it does work if SeaMonkey is not running at
all when I click on the file in Finder.

If SeaMonkey is running, it pops to the Mail window first (or opens a
Mail window, if one is not running), then opens a new browser window,
but with the home page, not the one I clicked on in Finder.

Re: Failure to install SeaMonkey 2.0

[James]

You can only have one copy running at a time.  In cases like yours 
there's typically something running that is identified as Seamonkey 
1.1.18.  The usual culprit is Seamonkey 1.1.18 quick launch.  Disable 
that and reboot.


Then if it still doesn't work look in Task Manager to see if anything 
Seamonkey is running.  If so shut it down; you may need to reboot.


If it still doesn't work try booting into safe mode and launch 2.0.

opened 2.0 and I used it for a while.

This morning I booted up my computer and opened Seamonkey only to find

Searching the hard drive shows 2 installations: Program Files/

Is 2.0 a new kind of vaporware?;-)

SM2 + ReminderFox 1.9.5 -- feedback requested

[gNeandr]

Hi to all SM2 users
 having interest to run the brand new ReminderFox version - 1.9.5.

Any feedback welcomed!!

Günter

The latest ReminderFox update is just about ready to be released via 
Mozilla Addons.  Before it becomes public (as it often takes awhile for 
it to be reviewed by an editor and made public, and I have read there 
may be a long wait at the moment), I figured I'd send out a note for any 
of the list readers who wants to try it early:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1191/

Click the View Older Versions link at the bottom of the page, and you 
should see ReminderFox 1.9.5 available (marked Experimental).  You may 
need to be logged in to see the experimental versions.


The main changes are some improvements to alarms, and a few other goodies.
Thanks
Tom

ReminderFox changelog
1.9.5:
- Tabbed alarms - alarms and quick alarms now show up in a single window 
as separate tabs, so they are

now easier to manage in a single location.
- You can now add notes on quick alarms
- When adding a quick alarm or snoozing an alarm, you can select the 
calendar icon to add a specific day/time of
when to show the alarm, versus just the "show X minutes/days from 
now" method
- The calendar launched by the calendar toolbar button (right click on 
the Firefox toolbar and select Customize...
to add it) has been updated - it now shows dates with reminders (in 
yellow), you can hover over the dates
to get the reminder tooltips just like in the normal calendar, and 
clicking on a date allows

you to quick-add a reminder for that date
   Improvements:- Clicking on blank square in the calendar widget 
will move the calendar forward or backwards to that date
- The 'Add reminder' dialog has been reordered to be consistent with Add 
ToDo/Event dialog
- Context menu for Firefox - changed the postion of Add Reminder to come 
after Copy (as suggested by user

K. Jason)
- Updated to support Postbox email application - 
http://postbox-inc.com/extensions/ (Thanks to Günter Wahl)

- Updated for latest versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, and Seamonkey
- 'Send reminder'/'Send todo's' now also supports 'Export' (Thanks to 
Günter Wahl)


Bug fixes:
- Bug 21772  - thanks 
to Philippe for fixing this one!

Unfortunately, I'm still having the same problem in Safe Mode.  I
tried creating a new profile and had the same problem still.

Phil, I tried hitting ctrl-C twice and it didn't work.

Well, I spoke too soon. I re-installed Google Desktop Search, and it
only indexed Seamonkey e-mail and web pages that were viewed by
Seamonkey 1.18 on my PC. So...still wondering what the answer is.


I suspect that GDS only indexes one account/profile (the one it detects
on installation?). That doesn't sound very clever but who knows...
Maybe it would be worth a try to zip your SM1.1.18 profile, store it at
a safe place and delete it from your documents&settings folder
afterwards. Make sure SM2 is running fine with it's own profile. Then
reinstall GDS ad see if it finds your SM2 profile.
If all that doesn't succeed I would still recomend asking google or at
least one of their groups why it doesn't index (refering to that SM2
uses the same container-format which used to work with SM1.1.x for you)

Very interesting idea, Martin!  I'll give it a try later today and let 
you know.  Thanks for your thoughts...

Odd SM2 problems

[Mr. Cheese]

- the toolbar for changing font sizes, adding emoticons, etc does not 
display when composing an email. I can't find a place to change this.


- when I look at some old emails which are replies to emails the quoted 
email shows in some odd unreadable font.


Any help would be appreciated

Re: Failure to install SeaMonkey 2.0

[Stephanie :]

Thanks. I think I did forget to exit the Quickstarter.

However I realized how much I depend on the tab session manager in the
Multizilla add-on and I would lose all my currently saved sessions (I
do a lot of research) so I think I will hold off on the upgrade until
Multizilla has a SM2 compatible version out.

Must be related to our local setup. Works fine here even with Cookies
only being accepted from the original website.
I would try to dlete all Cookies and ry again. If it still fails make
sure that there's no other software firewall or similar interfering.

That dosn't sound promising. If SM1.1.18 doesn't find it's own profile,
SM2 profile migration wizard probably fails on that, too.

Well that's normal and what a new profile is supposed to be ;-)

That's stupid XP, its search commonly excludes important folders. Make
sure you have the following checkboxes enabled:
http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/558/xpsearch.png
Maybe you want to search for "Seamonkey" instead of "default" to not get
so many results.
After you succeed fel free to delete all unnecessary profiles and start
again.
If everything fails again, you could also create your mail-accounts in
the new SM2 profile, then exit SM2 and copy your bookmarks.html and
inbox/sent/... files over the new and empty SM2 ones from your old profile.


> I think I might just do like some of the others

I doubt that this will correct your already existing profile issue, sry.

executable files are being executed by the user and the operating

Binary multipart attachment download from newsgroups?

[Rex]

Is it possible to do in Seamonkey? I remember in Outlook Express, you 
could select all the messages representing a binary file, and use an 
option called 'combine and download' or something.


Can one do that in Seamonkey?

I suspect your SM1.1.18 has already been running at that time (maybe
you're using the Quickstarter?), they can't run together at the same
time without additional effort.
So make sure SM1.1.x is _not_ running, the Quickstarter next to your
clock is closed (no seamonkey.exe in the process list in the
taskmanager), then start your SM2. (you can verify that you're starting
the correct seamonkey.exe by right-clicking, selecting properties and
navigating to the "version" tab. Open "Product version" below in the
list and it should say 2.0)

If you close the message, you will get the full choice of folders in
your menu

Have no idea what's wrong with your sig line here. :)

Thanks, but I was complaining exactly that - you have to close the 
message in order to see the full list.


That behavior sucks and was not how it worked under 1.19.

I often leave an Email open while I'm working on the problem mentioned 
in the Email (I'm a Unix server support guru), and having to close it to 
copy it into one of my support queues is a major PITA.


I expanded on the Sig problem in another reply in this thread.

Well the proper sig delimiter should be a dash dash space. Sig should
work, note that it is on an account by account basis. You must set up
the sig for each account. If you use the same sig on multiple accounts,
save it to a text file, and link to it in Account settings.

I'll set a sig to this reply, to test.

Lee



Sig attached as expected, and should be stripped in this reply.

Lee



See the thread titled "2.0 - Forwarding Email does not pick up my Sig, 
the Sig works as expected in Compose" for more detail on the problem.


Basically, I use files for my sigs, and specifically a .txt file for 
NG's like this, and in fact the SAME sig file for this and my main NG 
server.


The sig append works on the main NG, but not on this one. The prefs and 
settings are *exactly* the same for the two NG's.
