Re: Moving Mozilla profile information email to SeaMonkey Profiles
Jim Pivonka wrote: I've long used Mozilla Mail for my email, and have maintained the browser as a repository for Bookmarks.

I have zero interest in updating my video driver. I like the version I use and have specific reasons for why I use this version of nVidia nForce driver. I would never have blamed Mozilla if my video driver caused Fx or SM to crash so I don't think Mozilla should arbitrarily placed video drivers older than the date they chose on a black list as some very old drivers work fine with HTML5 yet Mozilla put them on the black list. (I didn't blame Mozilla when Fx4 was crashing constantly a year ago and it turned out to be nVidia's nView that I love greatly but I had to disable it forever if I wanted to use Fx4 and above. I lost 50% of the functionality of my video card just to be able to use Fx4 but I didn't blame Mozilla so I certainly would not have blamed Mozilla if my video driver had problems with HTML5 on Fx or SM. Thus, I don't think Mozilla should have placed any video card driver versions on a black list. So, I can't use your help site unless I use Opera there which sort of defeats the purpose. When I get a new computer (waiting for OEMs to get Ivy Bridge processors) I guess the issue will be moot on the new computer. I think it is a shame you chose to make video only as I can't learn that way. I am a reader not a movie watcher. I want a help site to have text and screenshots. I rarely use Flash Player and don't even have it installed except on IE for my ISP's speed test but otherwise I don't want FP and HTML5 is probably going to be even worse than FP as far as never ending security issues go and privacy invasion for the user so I disagree strongly with your decision to make your help site HTML5 dependent. Whoa! You're making incorrect assumptions based on incorrect assumptions. So let's back up a bit, explain what driver blacklisting is, and figure out the /real/ reason you can't access HTML5 sites. _What does graphics driver blacklisting do_ SeaMonkey (as well as some plugins) have a feature called hardware acceleration, in which your graphics processor is used for drawing operations. There's also a web standard called WebGL, in javascript is used to render 3d graphics in web browsers. If your graphics driver is known to cause problems with hardware acceleration or webgl, SeaMonkey will disable hardware acceleration and webgl on your installation. I stand corrected. I hate getting older. I forget pieces of things way more easily than when I was younger. I had forgotten about WebGL. I had to go read my own posts about it again in a Mozilla forum. Now I remember my video driver is supposed to have problems with hardware acceleration but I took the Mozilla test many times on Fx4, Opera 10.6 and Iron before Mozilla blocked my video driver and scored 60+FPS on Fx4. https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/ I don't recall if I tested on SM. I think back then I still had a really old version of SM and was enamoured with Fx4 which I had recently upgraded to from Fx 1.5 but Opera was still my default browser then and had been for two years (now Fx 4 on my host and Fx10 Enterprise on a virtual machine are my default browsers and I upgraded SM six months or so ago and use it quite a bit also and use Opera less as I am not crazy about Opera 11x. I was able to watch WebM video on Opera long before Fx ever offered it. Neither of those are part of HTML5. _What are the affects of using a driver that is on the blacklist_ The drawback to a blocked graphics driver is that webpage performance will not be as fast. You will still be able to access the same websites. _Is Flash needed to watch the screencasts_ No. HTML5 video does not require any plugin. HTML5 does not have LSOs (Flash cookies). _What reasons could be for a blank page at seamonkey.ilias.ca_ Maybe it's because the search box uses an iframe? If you go to a page that doesn't have a search box, like http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/installing/, do you still get a blank page? The above page is fine. I also am not getting a blank page now at seamonkey.ilias.ca. Your site though is very inconsistent for me. For instance, in the column on the left, if I click on any question under FAQ Browser, I get a screenshot that says Welcome to SeaMonkey and nothing else. I get the same screenshot on ALL questions under Browser. Under FAQ Profiles, I get text only answers, no screenshots. Under FAQ General, I get a different screenshot that says Welcome

You can find instuctions at http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers Keep in mind that in many cases, the user is running the latest graphics driver for their card. Example: There is a newer video driver for this card but you are right that after about 1 to 1.5 years after you get the video card the last driver that works, and doesn't cause a bunch of problems, is issued. After that, nVidia may claim you can install a newer driver but if you do you will usually have lots of problems and have to uninstall it. I stopped upgrading the driver early though at only six months after I got this old computer when the newer driver would have worked fine except nVidia decided to force all of us who hated the new Vista nVidia panel (and thus we kept using the classic nVidia panel) to upgrade to the new vista panel which was missing about 50% of the options in the classic panel and which worked extremely, agonizingly slowly on XP computers like mine. The new panel was designed for Vista and Win 7. nvidia was very wrong to force XP users to the new panel like they did especially when using it lost us 50% of the functionality of the card and took away one of the main reasons I chose nVidia over ATI. Many of us simply did what I did and refused any further upgrades to our video driver so we could continue using the classic nVidia panel and we vented our anger and frustration in a thread that lasted many years and reached about 1000 posts at nVidia official forums. I did continue though to upgrade the driver package for audio, ethernet, SMBus, SATA IDE and SATA RAID, etc. for the nVidia mobo but there were only a few of those.

The version that I have installed on WinXP (Version: 91.36) *is* the current WinXP driver. http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_91.36.html Fact of the matter is that my Quadro4 will never support WebGL. Reason being is that, even if the hardware supported it, nVidia will never update the driver to do so. The card simply is too old and they would rather sell new cards (understandably). The card works just fine for me; Supports OpenGL GLX, I can rotate my desktops in 3D, use 3D graphics for CAD and other programs, etc. So I see no reason to go spend additional $$ to buy one simply to run WebGL. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

That information is missing. I haven't looked at that for ages but I used to be able to see it. I also have no information on using multiple monitors and that should be visible too. There is a newer version of Workstation that I keep being bugged to install. I have resisted because it is a hassle to update Workstation. You essentially cannot. You have to uninstall the current version and then install the new version. I doubt I have enough space on my drive to download the new version which is huge. I am extremely low on space. I am waiting for Ivy Bridge processors to buy a new computer so I haven't been really concerned about this disk space on this one as it has a bulging capicator on the mobo so its days are limited anyway.

That's whack, man! Their computer. Personally, I would go the route of not saving ANY password on the computer. That way, you fulfill their absurd requirement without actually surrendering any password. It's a drag, having to type all passwords by hand, but still better than surrendering your personal passwords to a third party. There are no personal passwords, and I'm not just accessing their web site, I'm doing stuff for them. Using a computer used for nothing else, running Linux, accessing no public anything (the VPN only lets me talk to them).

Jay O'Brien Original Message Subject: Your browser is blocking Flash error message Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:24:52 -0400 From: Rostyslaw Lewyckyj urj...@bellsouth.net To: support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org SM 2.8 on an x64 Win7 ultimate OS Starting several days ago when I log in to Att/Yahoo webmail I get the following error message box: --- Flash required for this application X Your browser is blocking Flash. You must have Flash 9.0 or higher installed and unblocked to run an openmail application. You can download and install the latest Flash Player _here_ OK -- where that _here_ is a link to the Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.228 download page which reports: Your system: Windows 64-bit , English, Firefox Do you have a different operating system or browser? Note:The 64-bit Flash Player installer includes both a 32-bit and 64-bit version of Flash Player To be on the safe side, just in case my Flash had become disconnected from SM I downloaded and reinstalled it. However the error message keeps coming back whenever I log in to webmail, But if I click on the X (to close the error box) or on OK, the error box goes away and my webmail session appears to work without crashing or obvious errors. So what can be the problem between the webmail site and SM and/or SM and my installed Flash? How is SM blocking Flash? How can I check the connection between my SM and my Flash? -- Rostyk ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: SeaMonkey Help is back…with screencasts!

If you go to a page that doesn't have a search box, likehttp://seamonkey.ilias.ca/installing/, do you still get a blank page? The above page is fine. I also am not getting a blank page now at seamonkey.ilias.ca. Your site though is very inconsistent for me. For instance, in the column on the left, if I click on any question under FAQ Browser, I get a screenshot that says Welcome to SeaMonkey and nothing else. I get the same screenshot on ALL questions under Browser. Under FAQ Profiles, I get text only answers, no screenshots. Under FAQ General, I get a different screenshot that says Welcome to SM Mail and Newsgroups on every question. But under Documentation, Upgrading I actually get useful screenshots and text. I have not checked every page on your site but you get the idea. What you're seeing is the screencast start image. For instance, if you go to http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/browserfaq/WebFeeds, which is in the browser FAQ, the image you see should not be Welcome to SeaMonkey, but of CNN World. There should be a play icon embedded over top of the image. If you click on the image, the screencast should start. Does the play icon not appear? If it doesn't appear, does clicking on the image still start the screencast? -- Chris Ilias http://ilias.ca Newsgroup moderator ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Problem with Seamonkey 2.8
Unless I'm getting a bogus error message, Seamonkey 2.8 won't work on my Slackware 12 system. I'm getting a message that gcc 4.2.0 is required, but I have gcc 4.1.2 installed. Is it correct that Seamonkey 2.8 for Linux requires gcc 4.2? If so, what is the most recent version of Seamonkey that will work with gcc 4.1.2 (and where is it on the seamonkey site)? Thanks. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
