BROKEN RECORD ALERT!!!

Put the profile(s) in their own tree away from the app(s).

Put the mail files in their own tree away from both apps and profiles.

Give your profile(s) names that are meaningful to you.

The name and location of all the above as well as apps is arbitrary. Put
them where you want, name them what you want.

Create a shortcut that has the target in the form of:
X:\SM214-Win\seamonkey.exe -Profilemanager
When you activate that shortcut a menu of available profiles will open.
  After adding or replacing a Mozilla product the profile you have been
using will probably be on that menu.  In the event it is not, select
create new profile, and set that "new" profile to use the sub-directory
that contains your standard profile.

My mail files started life in Netscape.  I have used this system since
then.  To lose mail I must loose a partition, not just do a simple app
change.  And I have had as many as twenty versions of SM, on the HDD,
using the same profile when I was looking for the date/time of a bug
insertion.

Thank you for your suggestions.  I still don't understand how SM v.2.15 
managed to lose its connection to the existing profile but maybe that is 
not important.


If I understand your suggestion correctly, you are telling me to have a 
'standard' profile stored somewhere so it can be used to create a new 
profile whenever this problem reoccurs.  Other than losing the bookmarks 
several upgrades ago, I have never seen SeaMonkey lose an e-mail profile 
during an upgrade -- and we have been using SeaMonkey since it evolved 
from the Mozilla Suite.

When the machine was booted this morning, the e-mail menu and icons that
used to come up were missing and SeaMonkey called for a new e-mail
account to be set up.  Other than the missing e-mail menus, everything
else in SeaMonkey seems to be working properly.  This situation reminds
me of a previous SeaMonkey upgrade where the bookmarks files went
missing.

As I go back to the MS-DOS days, I looked at the hard drive file
structure and it looks like both the e-mail and bookmarks files are, in
fact, still sitting on the hard drive in their proper positions.

1)  Can someone explain to me in simple language what may have gone
wrong?

2)  Can some kind soul tell me in a step-by-step 'fix it for dummies'
style how to get the e-mail working again?

3)  Ditto for restoring the bookmarks files.

Thanks, in advance, for any and all assistance.


Henrik, first off, in SeaMonkey have a look at Tools->Switch Profiles
and select "Default".Does your missing profile stuff show up now??

If not, having found your mail and bookmarks files (you are aware that
you bookmarks and other stuff are now stored in a file called
places.sqlite aren't you??), you can make yourself a new profile and
point it at these found files, e.g., if you found your bookmarks file at
something like C:\Documents and Settings\Seamonkey\profile\bookmarks and
your emails at C:\Documents and Settings\Seamonkey\profile\mail\inbox,
what you want to do is set up a new profile at C:\Documents and
Settings\Seamonkey\profile\

Go to Tools->Switch Profiles, select Manage Profiles and Create Profile
and, on the second screen, call it "TWO" (or whatever) and then click on
"Choose Folder..." and make your way to C:\Documents and
Settings\Seamonkey\profile. Click O.K. and, hopefully, it will pick up
you bookmarks (places.sqlite) and mail profile and away you go..

Hopefully.

Thank you for your insights.  The 'switch profiles' idea didn't work 
because there wasn't a default profile, only my wife's profile.  While 
it was listed, trying to select it didn't do anything.


I didn't know about the 'places.sqlite' so thank you for the pointer.  I 
do know where all of the mail files are located.


I am a bit confused when you say 'make yourself a new profile', but I 
believe I understand your instructions and will try to follow them shortly.

On each of two computers, one running XP the other Windows 7, I'm
running Seamonkey 15 and Firefox 18 with Java 7.11 installed. As far
as I know, the settings for Java, and the browser configurations, are
identical, or as close to that as possible, from machine to machine.
On XP everything works fine, but I'm having a Java problem on Win7.

At this site, www.time.gov, on both machines, java in Seamonkey asked
for permission to run and committed it to memory. So no problem there.

But at this site, www.stockwatch.com, when I tried to access streaming
quotes (behind a paywall), Seamonkey on Win7 refused to launch java.
Firefox launches java here without a problem.

Security is set to allow popups (required for the java app) at
Stockwatch.com, and the firewall would have given me an option if it
was about to block it, so I'm not sure what else to try.


I've noticed that one other site with a similar application, and where I
would expect the same problem of not being able to launch java to occur,
works OK, so it appears that the above problem may be site-related.


The newest version of Java .. raises the secrity lever Bat to HIGH 
because of Kackers taking control... It checks for Security Certificates 
at the web sites. If there expired or have none , it will not function.. 
  Click Java in control panel and lower the security bar to Medium. 
But download the newest java from Java.com .. They also explain this to 
you .

Don't know of any fix, but I agree that it doesn't work.  I go to a site to

and the coupon will print then.  I download and install it and nothing happens
except the site I'm on thinks I printed the coupon and I can't retrieve it to
print again.

I have complained to sites that use this method of printing coupons and most
will then send via snail mail the coupon.

I never have had this work in any version of SeaMonkey with any version of
Windows (up to Version 7).  Always works in IE.


What kind of plugin is that "coupon printer"?
Is it ActiveX?  IE will tell you that when you go to the site without

Oups ! You are true ... i never imagine that.
Anyway i have "All" for View-Threads option.

If you want mails to be threaded, choose View | Sort by | Threaded.

If you look very carefully, you can see a pale gray hairline between 
the three sets of options (Date... Attachments; Ascending/Descending; 
and Threaded/Unthreaded/Grouped by Sort). You can choose independently 
for each of the three groups, so for example you can have Date, 
Ascending, Threaded as I do.


In the case where you've chosen View | Messages | Unread (a separate 
option), each message that you open is automatically marked as read 
(until you unmark it manually), so if you view a message and then 
select another one, the first one (which is now marked as read) will 
disappear from the list. If you want all messages to be listed 
regardless of read/unread status, choose View | Messages | All. The 
unread ones will still be bolded in the list so you can tell them apart.


Another little-known option is at Edit | Preferences | Mail & 
Newsgroups | Message Display:


[x] Automatically mark messages as read
   (•) Immediately on display
   (o) After displaying for 00 seconds

This is the default. If you want messages to be marked as read only 
after some delay, choose the last option and enter the number of 
seconds. This way, you can view a message briefly and move on and it 
will remain "unread." Or, if you never want the system to mark 
messages as read (if you want to do all such marking manually), 
disable the first option.

 The java plugin is enabled without conditions or warnings in my SM
 v.15. My experience in activating java on time.gov is like what you

 presented me with an option to remember the permission, which I

And based on the "recognition problem" you're experiencing, I would 
completely uninstall the version that you have before installing a later 
one. By uninstall I mean a conventional uninstall via Seamonkey and then go

If you install the prefbar extension you can easily access (by one of 
several display options) a check box to enable or disable java. That should 
do it, but I would upgrade to java 7.11 first.

I've noticed that one other site with a similar application, and where I 
would expect the same problem of not being able to launch java to occur, 
works OK, so it appears that the above problem may be site-related.

The java plugin is enabled without conditions or warnings in my SM v.15.
My experience in activating java on time.gov is like what you describe. The 
first time I clicked the box to enable it, java presented me with an option 
to remember the permission, which I selected. The second time it just 
presented the box, so there is a glitch somewhere, but at least you can use

Java 7u11 is NOT blocked for SeaMonkey 2.15 under Windows XP.

Begging your pardon, Mr Ross, but if Java weren't blocked, I wouldn't 
have posted the message in the first place.  In point of fact, the 
plug-in is blocked, and the option to ENABLE it is not visible in the 
Add-Ons Mgr screen.  The only button visible is 'Disable', which is what 
I described to begin with.


I can begin to understand the current version of SM blocking Java due 
it's zero-day vulnerability, but if I am supposed to have the option to 
turn it back on, I have no idea how to do that because I can't see or 
find an option anywhere to re-enable it.  And Mr Gordon is accessing the 
same site as my wife, Pogo.com.  So he's seeing the same thing we are. 
And SM is preventing the site from using Java in any version state.


I'm not as prepared to 'jump ship' as Mr Gordon puts it, but either I 
have a fault which prevents me from seeing a re-enable option (help!?), 
or someone has programmed this to take the choice away from me.  Either 
way, I can't there from here.


I don't want to give up SM: I've seen Firefox and I prefer the suite 
verion I use now (and have been using for many years).  And I detest the 
MS product.  It's bad enough I have to put up with it at work, I don't

David,

SM 2.15 effectively blocks all versions of JAVA.  Yesterday I had SM 
2.13 installed and running JAVA applets by enabling JAVA in the Ad-Ons 
Manager.  Last night I upgraded to SM 2.15 and JAVA applets would not run.


I checked the Ad-Ons Manager and JAVA was disabled, I enabled JAVA and 
tried the previous applets, they would not run, in fact the web site 
(Pogo.com)  insisted I download and install the latest version of the 
JAVA plugin.  I downloaded again from the Oracle web site and tried to 
install, the install program stated I already had the current version 
installed, I replied to install anyway.


After restarting SM I tried the Pogo.com applet and again I was prompted 
to install the latest JAVA upstate.


Side note:  Internet Explorer, v.8, has no problem with the latest 
version of the JAVA plugin.


It is time to jump the sinking ship.  The Mozilla Fire Breathing Dragon

What kind of plugin is that "coupon printer"?
Is it ActiveX?  IE will tell you that when you go to the site without

Win7/SM15/Java7.11 problem

2013-01-18 Thread Roger Fink
On each of two computers, one running XP the other Windows 7, I'm running 
Seamonkey 15 and Firefox 18 with Java 7.11 installed. As far as I know, the 
settings for Java, and the browser configurations, are identical, or as 
close to that as possible, from machine to machine. On XP everything works 
fine, but I'm having a Java problem on Win7.

At this site, www.time.gov, on both machines, java in Seamonkey asked for 
permission to run and committed it to memory. So no problem there.

But at this site, www.stockwatch.com, when I tried to access streaming 
quotes (behind a paywall), Seamonkey on Win7 refused to launch java. Firefox 
launches java here without a problem.

Security is set to allow popups (required for the java app) at 
Stockwatch.com, and the firewall would have given me an option if it was 
about to block it, so I'm not sure what else to try.

Don't know of any fix, but I agree that it doesn't work.  I go to a site to
print a coupon.  It says I need 'coupon printer' and to download and install it,
and the coupon will print then.  I download and install it and nothing happens

HenriK wrote:

On both my and my wife's PCs, we have used SeaMonkey since it first
became available.  On my wife's PC, running XP-Home, fully updated,
SeaMonkey 2.15 automatically installed itself a day or so ago.  The
latest Java update also installed itself the same day.

When the machine was booted this morning, the e-mail menu and icons that
used to come up were missing and SeaMonkey called for a new e-mail
account to be set up.  Other than the missing e-mail menus, everything
else in SeaMonkey seems to be working properly.  This situation reminds
me of a previous SeaMonkey upgrade where the bookmarks files went missing.

As I go back to the MS-DOS days, I looked at the hard drive file
structure and it looks like both the e-mail and bookmarks files are, in
fact, still sitting on the hard drive in their proper positions.

1)  Can someone explain to me in simple language what may have gone wrong?

2)  Can some kind soul tell me in a step-by-step 'fix it for dummies'
style how to get the e-mail working again?

3)  Ditto for restoring the bookmarks files.

Thanks, in advance, for any and all assistance.


Henrik, first off, in SeaMonkey have a look at Tools->Switch Profiles 
and select "Default".Does your missing profile stuff show up now??


If not, having found your mail and bookmarks files (you are aware that 
you bookmarks and other stuff are now stored in a file called 
places.sqlite aren't you??), you can make yourself a new profile and 
point it at these found files, e.g., if you found your bookmarks file at 
something like C:\Documents and Settings\Seamonkey\profile\bookmarks and 
your emails at C:\Documents and Settings\Seamonkey\profile\mail\inbox, 
what you want to do is set up a new profile at C:\Documents and 
Settings\Seamonkey\profile\


Go to Tools->Switch Profiles, select Manage Profiles and Create Profile 
and, on the second screen, call it "TWO" (or whatever) and then click on 
"Choose Folder..." and make your way to C:\Documents and

you bookmarks (places.sqlite) and mail profile and away you go..


Hopefully.
