password manager keeps crashing
I recently upgraded to Seamonkey 2.1 and then 2.2 with the autoupdate and I just found a few days ago that when I try to access my password manager it will crash seamonkey every time. I get the password manager tab appear for a few seconds before it goes away. I have submitted a crash report a couple times in case it helps. I would like to be able to recover my passwords where possible as I doubt I can remember them all, as well as getting the password manager working again. Everything else appears to be working fine.

Can not add funds to T-Mobile prepaid cell phone account
Using SM 2.0.14 and SM 2.2, I am unable to add funds to my prepaid T-Mobile account. I am able to add funds using IE 7. Here's what happens with SM: I go to t-mobile.com and I log into my account; it shows me a page that includes Fund your account. I click on that; it shows me a page that includes Credit/Debit account. I click on that; it shows me a page with the current fund balance and a number of options for dollars and amount of time. After 2 seconds, that page is replaced by a Welcome back! log in page. I log in, and the page with Fund your account appears, and the cycle is repeated with no apparent end in sight. With IE 7, everything goes as expected, and I was able to add my funds to my account without any problem. Last year, I was able to this with whatever SM was current at the time. I have not experienced this behavior with any other website. So - bad web page? A clever SM setting I am missing? Is there a workaround? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Robert Kaiser No, not Bullshit, but charging elephant shit :-) Any person who is on say SM 2.2 and encounters bugs in that release, will not be able to remain with the UI features of that release, and just obtain fixes for the bugs/misfeatures in 2.2, without needing to wait until some future SM 2?.x which will have new mandatory features needing to be user debugged after the upgrade. This 2?.x will of course, as happens with all new features code, contain its own basket of fresh bugs. How about changing the upgrade code by adding a programmed check for, did the bookmark conversion happen? i.e.: - Check the new bookmark data structure contents against the old bookmark.html contents . If the conversion was faulty, generate a debug dump report and send it to development central.

Phillip, you keep stating you have a problem getting your SM 2.0 bookmarks over to 2.1 and subsequent versions. You vaguely imply you're getting some but not all of your bookmarks. Could you give a bit more exact info on what you're getting and what you're not. Do you import your SM 2.0 bookmarks.html [1] file into another profile you use exclusively with SM 2.1+, or? If you start SM 2.0 with your 2.1+ profile, even just once, you'll receive the bookmarks gone syndrome. This has been well noted [2], but seems people tend to lightly ignore it, and then bitch about it. Now, if you've managed to import your SM 2.0 bookmarks.html into a 2.1+ profile and you're just not seeing you Personal Toolbar Folder items, do you happen to find them in the Bookmark Manager under Bookmarks Menu (direct child of All Bookmarks)? If you do, you could just move the contents of the Personal Toolbar Folder to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder, and they will appear on your Personal Toolbar. [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/2.1/FAQ#Bookmarks [2] http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.1/#issues on 2.3.3 when I first opened in the created profile. The bookmarks files I had copied over. There were No Bookmarks what so ever. There were no personal Toolbar items when I opened there are just four empty items That you would expect when just creating from scratch. I then followed directions given here to convert the html. I then got back the links but no labels as to what the links represent so there is no way to sort them. -- Phillip M.

I know this is a Nightly build, so I think that this is a bug. In my experience Its been broke since 2.3.3a. I created a new profile. copied over my 2.0.14 profile items. on 2.1 worked though it stomped on my Extensions. 2.2 kept the foot down on the extensions, plus Stomped on my Plugins, 2.3.3a kept feet down on extensions and Plugins. Then choked out my Bookmarks and my personal Bookmark items which will take months to recreate. so gar 2.0.14 is the only SeaMonkey Version. Phillip, you keep stating you have a problem getting your SM 2.0 bookmarks over to 2.1 and subsequent versions. You vaguely imply you're getting some but not all of your bookmarks. Could you give a bit more exact info on what you're getting and what you're not. Do you import your SM 2.0 bookmarks.html [1] file into another profile you use exclusively with SM 2.1+, or? If you start SM 2.0 with your 2.1+ profile, even just once, you'll receive the bookmarks gone syndrome. This has been well noted [2], but seems people tend to lightly ignore it, and then bitch about it. Now, if you've managed to import your SM 2.0 bookmarks.html into a 2.1+ profile and you're just not seeing you Personal Toolbar Folder items, do you happen to find them in the Bookmark Manager under Bookmarks Menu (direct child of All Bookmarks)? If you do, you could just move the contents of the Personal Toolbar Folder to the Bookmarks Toolbar folder, and they will appear on your Personal Toolbar. [1] https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/2.1/FAQ#Bookmarks [2] http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.1/#issues on 2.3.3 when I first opened in the created profile. The bookmarks files I had copied over. There were No Bookmarks what so ever. There were no personal Toolbar items when I opened there are just four empty items That you would expect when just creating from scratch. I then followed directions given here to convert the html. I then got back the links but no labels as to what the links represent so there is no way to sort them. Just got through trying 2.5.1.a same problem. Nothing except Mozilla Links. -- Phillip M.

This is because the internal format changed and the upgrade process only works in one direction. In any case you go back using your profile with SeaMonkey 2.0, even for just one session, you'll find your bookmarks gone starting with SeaMonkey 2.1 and subsequent versions, next. Yes I Understand and I do have. else I would not be using my 2.0.14 now. From my understanding of what I have been reading, the developers have no idea how to fix this problem of not converting bookmarks and it can strike anytime with no warning. This should be the top number one bug to be fixed. Honestly I don't understand which part of the upgrade process only works in one direction you don't understand. May be you think you're smarter than the developers which have given you exact instructions on what _not_ to do, but you've done it anyway... and then you've been given number of advises how to recover from your mistake. I don't think the SeaMonkey developers could invest more just to make an automatic fix for your mistake. If it was that easy, they would have done it already. Look if you have hundreds of Bookmarks and the disappear. when you switch to updated browser. Wouldn't you want the bug fixed. You don't understand this a Deal Breaker!

2.2: Personal Toolbar folder does not import
I went from 2.0.14 to 2.2. I imported bookmarks.html. The included Personal Toolbar folder which populates the toolbar does not import, I had to rebuild it. After doing this, I exported the bookmarks to bookmarks.html and looked at that in the browser. I see that what populates the toolbar is now the Bookmarks Toolbar. I suggest that if a bookmarks.html file is imported, that the Personal Toolbar should not be ignored. This is just an FYI for the Seamonkey team, I've fixed mine.

2.2 Composer will not edit links
I went from 2.0.14 to 2.2. Using composer, I then attempted to make a change in a line in a html page. It was a link to a url. I selected the text part of a ink anr right-clicked on it, as I have done many times in the past, and found that the Link Properties selection was greyed out, and I was not given the opportunity to edit the link properties to change the link. As a test, In Composer, I created a new web page with a single line test text and put a url with it, and saved it. It worked fine, but then, after opening the web page in Composer for a further edit, I was not given the opportunity to edit the link properties to change the url. This is a local html page in my NAS, I didn't try to edit a page over the internet on my website.

Re: 2.2 Composer will not edit links

SM2.2 online job application form problems
Hi all, Why does SeaMonkey have problems with filling out online job application forms nearly all of the time? I almost always have to switch the rendering engine (IE) to show the form correctly and submit the information. The forms on most jobs websites will not work with SeaMonkey. It becomes very frustrating, trying to fill out these forms and they just won't work right. Is there some sort of conspiracy to force people to use IE, in order to fill out these forms? Or is there something wrong with SeaMonkey and the way it shows them?

Following your instructions, I double clicked on the link and got the Link Properties dialog. I didn't see a choice for source, but I selected Advanced Edit. The Advanced Property Editor allowed me to change the target url. I was then able to save it. Apparently what you describe are additional changes from 2.2 to 2.3! But at least you helped me to be able to do the editing I wanted to do, using 2.2. Much appreciated.

I had tried one time before and showed nothing. so I did an import as someone suggested here. Was able to get all the links (but not their labels). I opened up again and checked for updates.

No, not Bullshit, but charging elephant shit :-) Any person who is on say SM 2.2 and encounters bugs in that release, will not be able to remain with the UI features of that release, and just obtain fixes for the bugs/misfeatures in 2.2, without needing to wait until some future SM 2?.x which will have new mandatory features needing to be user debugged after the upgrade. This 2?.x will of course, as happens with all new features code, contain its own basket of fresh bugs. That's not what you originally said. You said with 2.3 almost here, bugs with 2.1 or 2.2 or upgrade there-to will not be addressed. Just because there are UI changes, doesn't mean bugs in previous versions are not addressed.
