I made the same cghanges to 2.6.1 that I did to 2.0.14 and still I get tabs sometimes. I managed to even redirect the context menu for tabs to open new windows instead on 2.0.14 Does anyone have a clue how to do the same to 2.6.1 ?? I appreciate that I can still disable that stupid search inpage that someone decided looked great on the menu bar, thanks for thinking of us who like the floating search. I often have over a dozen windows open at once and the ability to specify a text search in one then do all the windows one ata time by hitting F3 is great. Now if only there was some way to do the same to tabs. Is there a way to redirect gbrowser.add to a newwindow function instead? Thanks for listening to my rants.

Norton Internet Security 2012 integration with SM 2.6.1
Norton Internet Security 2012 offers "Browser protection" for Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, Chrome 10.0 or later, and Firefox 3.6 or later. According to Norton: "When you turn on Browser Protection, Norton Internet Security proactively blocks new or unknown malware programs before they attack your computer. By protecting your Web browser, Norton Internet Security secures your sensitive information and prevents the attackers from controlling your system remotely. Always keep the Browser Protection settings turned on to protect your Web browser against attacks by malicious Web sites." Can SM 2.6.1 fool Norton so it thinks it is FF 3.6 or later, and would the results have any value? Currently, my general.useragent.extra.firefox is set to Firefox/3.0 ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: 2.6.1 stored passwords - multiple redundant repeats over and over

When you go to, let's say, a financial webpage and log in you are furnishing a user/password to the main log-in page. This page after it accepts your log-in information usually has links to other pages such as: Your Preferences; Monthly Statement; Bills Paid; etc. To facilitate your operation the user/password you logged-in with is passed to the Sub-domain (URL of the link)saving you the time and effort to re-log into the new domain. This now creates an entry in your Password file which will have the same Host Name as the original log-in site, but with a sub-domain of the link's URL. Now you have two entries with the original Host Name. Go to another page following a link and the same process will occur. Now you will now have three entries with the original Host Name URL: and a different Sub-domain URL. Think of this file as a spread sheet. Column 1 has the Host Name URL, Column 2 has the User Name; Column 3 has the Password, and Column 4 has the Sub-Domain URL. When you say 'Delete Host Name URL entry' the system looks down Column 1 and deletes all rows of the entered Hostname since other info in the rows is now invalid. Not knowing if there is only one of these names in the spreadsheet, the software continues down the rows and removes ALL entries with the delete URL name. Simple - No?

My recommendation is for him to immediately call his credit card company to get the charge reversed. Tell them he was snookered by a scam. Then cancel and get a new card as you suggest. Then, if your efforts to remove the trojan don't seem to work, consider backing up his data and reinstalling Windows.
