Bug 1060858 - Ghostery 5.3.1 does not support SeaMonkey



Phil



I'm a longtime SeaMonkey user (going back to Mozilla Suite around the 
end of the last century-never was an IE person) currently on Windows 8.0 
Pro.  But I won't use it now. Ghostery is more important to me than 
SeaMonkeysad it has to be this way.


I read the bug.  Pathetic that no one seems to want to resolve the 
issue.  I do thank you for your comments in the bug.  I raised this 
question with Ghostery back when Ghostery first stopped working with 
SeaMonkey.  I groaned when it was explained to me by Ghostery employees 
why this had happened.  I'm by no means the only long time SeaMonkey 
user who is walking away from a browser I have always really liked all 
these many years.  I have already left Fx at 24.8.0 ESR (for the 
superior Pale Moon fork). The attitude of Addons management regarding 
this extremely important issue of non-working Ghostery in the current 
and previous version of SM  is reflective of everything that has 
gradually become wrong with Fx and now is affecting SeaMonkey also.


What happened to SeaMonkey and Thunderbird having their own Addons site?

Windows default is to search the currently selected location in Windows
Explorer.  In W7 there is a search entry box in Explorer in the upper
right.  It should have grey italic text saying: Search Media (H:)
(assuming you're on drive H:).

I just invoked it (F3) from the desktop and it opened an Explorer window
and began searching EVERY location below that.  Every physical and

I just tried it on Vista and it does not search in hidden or system
directories unless you do an advanced search & check "Include
non-indexed, hidden and system files".  And on this machine,
c:\Users\Lee\AppData is marked as hidden.
But you said W7, so .. give me a minute...  blech!  doesn't find any
"mime*.rdf" files _and_  I can't find the option to search inside
hidden or system directories.

Open a command prompt & do

Paul, I do not have an Image Manager under Tools. And again this is when

I agree with that bug, but I don't know how easy it is to change hit

My personal pet peeve in this area is that if I define a nickname, it 
has no priority over hits that happen to contain that string. One of my 
clients has the code "GEO" in all our files going back a dozen years, 
but if I enter the nickname "geo" in the To: field, I get all kinds of

Two points on searches in Win7 Windows Explorer:

1) To the left of the search window, extending across most of the 
screen, is a pull-down that lets you specify a particular directory (and 
all its contents). Unfortunately, the listed items are just recently 
visited folders. But each of the elements of the path is clickable. The 
default is "Computer," which searches everywhere.


A more convenient way to search a particular directory is to begin by 
navigating to it in WE, and /then/ enter the search string. You will 
notice that the blank search window says "Search foldername," where 
"foldername" is the current folder name.


2) To search for hidden and system files, you must begin by unhiding 
them: Organize (button at far left), Folder and Search Options, "View" 
tab, enable the radio button "Show hidden files, folders, and drives." 
The usual warning to clumsy users who might inadvertently delete or 
rename such files applies.


FWIW, the search string
mime*.rdf
produced one hit in my SeaMonkey profile and a bunch on my backup drive 
(various earlier versions).

Check your firewall.  It might be refusing to allow the connections
because it does not recognize the new version.

It's probably the Remember Passwords add-on, which is incompatible with
2.29.


I thought I was using the built in SM Password Manager.  Cannot find a
Remember Password add-on in the SM add-on manager.  Am I missing
something?

Since you're not using a password add-on, you're not missing anything
except the reason that is causing you problems. Unfortunately, I'm out
of ideas beyond suggesting that it's possible your firewall, either
Windows- or antivirus-based, might be blocking it. If you haven't
rebooted already, that might help.

Was running fine in 2.26.1 but I decided to try your suggestions. 
Before doing anything I allowed an automatic update to 2.29.  Problem 
was gone, everything working fine.  Thanks for helping.
