SM 2.26.1 Mac - link following problem...

[Rufus]

Ok...got around to installing SM 2.26.1 on my MacBook Pro and noticed 
just now that if I invoke the Profile Manager at startup and click a web 
link in an e-mail that SM launches and opens to my home page...unless SM 
is already open previously.


This is a bit different from what I was seeing in the bug(s) I wrote - I 
was just getting a blank page...and this was just for links to on disk 
files - I wasn't having a problem with web links.


If I don't invoke the Profile Manager at startup SM opens and the web 
linked page is presented properly.  Whatever was broke, it's 
broker...and I still don't see what the Profile Manager has to do with 
it, but it does.


And I'm also still getting the random Master Password prompts...gr

Is there an easy way to get this back to the original order.

It may be helpful to repair the folder in question (right-click on

issue, so it may be worthwhile emptying the trash bins and then 
compacting all your folders.

Hello!

   Is there any way (f.e. in stylish, or userChrome.css) how to set up
different background in the thread pane for watched threads?

Watched (or any other kind) threads are content, not chrome.  If there 
is an element name for watched threads, then presumably one could theme 
them with userContent.css.

I am surprised that SM did not import everything from Tbird.  It did for 
me with version 2.20.  You should be able to get the address book 
(extension = .mab) from Tbird's profile and copy it to SeaMonkey's 
profile.  You can locate both profiles by using Help > Troubleshooting 
Information.


You can either backup Firefox bookmarks or export as HTML, to a location 
external to the profile, then restore or import as HTML with SeaMonkey.

Why?  Please detail why this is a bad thing to do.



yes.  Do.  For mail I want to read text the way I want it.  But for a

might as well SEE them.  If it's something terrible like light blue text
on a medium blue background I turn-off the style sheet.

Btw, Urban Dictionary page looks totally fine in every way here.

I'm curious.  Do you have a large wide screen monitor?  Maybe I can't
compare since yours would be Apple and mine is not.  I have a newish
(Jan 1 2014) 24" widescreen Dell Ultrasharp monitor.  It is my first
wide screen one.  Urban Dictionary appears in the center of the screen
in a way too large font.  I use Zoom Page extension to zoom it down to
65% and then I have the font small, but readable, but the website is now
extremely scrunched up very small in the center of the screen with lots
of wasted real estate on both sides...


informational web pages, designed to read like a book, should never be
designed "for" a wide screen, they should look like a book page, and
this sight does that perfectly., even if you insist on dragging the

I remember that I just was back home from the States that I made a 
lecture for the Dutch Unix User Group about TeX and troff, Dik Winter, 
www.cwi.nl/~dik started a discussion with me why I found that TeX and 
Metafont were better for mathematical formula's and languages like 
Zapotec and Chinese than troff. I followed some lectures with Prof. 
Ralph Griswold PhD about the Snobol5 and the Icon programming languages...

He send away half of his students if they had no payed for the lessons.
I asked him: what about me, I don't pay anything, he said YOU STAY HERE, 
so I did.
I can learn some lessons now from my son, David, he just visited 26 
countries in 5 different continents, working at the offshore industry 
near Darwin...
But he comes over to visit me now, all beit just for a few days, he is 
to busy with his aerodynamics study and psychology in Delft and Leiden..

No web page should be designed with text lines more than about 60 
characters wide; it's just hard to read (or to use a technical term, 
"dysfunctional"). If you must use all that real estate, use multiple 
columns or boxes so none is wider than about 60 characters.

That's because

Absent a solution I plan on deleting that account from seamonkey and

It should not be necessary to do anything to your account - RETR errors
are typcally server errors, not client errors.
