Solved - How to convert from Seamonkey 1.1.13 to 2.1b3
I converted from Seamonkey 1.1.13 on Slackware 12.2 to Seamonkey 2.1b3 on Slackware 13.37 by following this rather cumbersome procedure. (1) Set up Slackware 13.37 Linux kernel 2.6.37.6 on new machine and create/log in as normal user. (2) $ rm -rf .mozilla (3) $ startx (4) $ mozilla (in window) (5) [exit mozilla] (6) $ cd .mozilla/seamonkey (7) $ rm -rf *.slt (8) $ scp -p -r -v root@oldsys:/home/olduser/.mozilla/seamonkey/*.slt browser.default (9) ~/.mozilla/seamonkey$ vi profiles.ini change the last line Path=.slt to Path=browser.default (10) ~/.mozilla/seamonkey$ cd (11) $ startx (12) $ mozilla (in window) (13) [exit mozilla] *** ALL DONE *** - Yaakov p.s.

HI,
Was wondering if in Seamonkey and Firefox it's possible to disable
about:addons in the same or similar manner that one can block
about:config from appearing? Just want to prevent users from mucking
around or disabling enabled addons, etc. Thanks for any tips.
You can make it do a disappearing act by adding this:
#addons-page { display: none !important; }
Would this modification hide also the menu -> "Tools" -> "Add-ons
Manager" ?
And also render inoperant the keyboard keys: Ctrl+Shift+A ?

If I go into the eml file with Notepad and edit out those line breaks, SM then displays the data correctly. It works the same whether I use a space or a tab to separate field name/field data. But why change the extension when saving and then change it back later? Why not just leave it as eml and let SM handle it properly? Because .txt files are smaller than .eml files. But, i have seen other points not handled by SM when i fool it changing .txt to .eml. So you are right; It's better to save it as .eml.

Please help me figure this out, thanks! The first thing you will want to do is make your web document compatible for web standards, and then for Internet Explorer. Within your tables declarations you have used a CSS element called: margin-right: auto; and margin-left: auto; IE ignores those elements if the is not compatible.

The entire doctype should be on a single line with only one blank space between the quots of EN and http:// You will need to modify the doctype in a text editor and set Komposer (Composer) to not change the HTML coding when opening a web document.

How do I go about doing this in a fail-safe manner? - Yaakov Kernel levels are irrelevant for this operation, Slackware levels are also meaningless for those of us who do not use Slackware. I believe the conversion is done automatically when you start the newer Seamonkey, although I would make some preparations first: - Clear your Cache - take a backup of your $home/.mozilla directory (this is the "fail-safe" part). - Start the new Seamonkey. I seem to remember reading that the newest versions of Seamonkey no longer contain the code to migrate 1.x levels, but your Seamonkey level is old enough for that not to be a problem. Yes, when I read the OP, I was wondering why Yaakov was just going to SM2.1b3 and why to a b3 level at all?? Why not to SM2.1 final, and then update through to SM2.8 or the soon to be released SM2.9?? I tried to use Slackware for a while in the mid 90's and seem to remember that updating software was . . . pretty fraught. Then again, configuring it to do what I wanted was pretty fraught as well so I checked out Red Hat and SuSE and then moved on. Going back to the point, Slackware 13.37 was released a year ago this week, my guess would be that it came with that level of Seamonkey. Yeah!! I wondered if the SM2.1b3 had come with a distribution, as well. And I know nothing bout Slackware, so, perhaps, I shouldn't have commented! -- Daniel ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
