Firefox, get a study and annoying message that their browser isn't supported, which far 
too many users read as "you stupid obsolescent geezer, why don't you get with the 
21st Century?".

Great public relations there on Weather.com's part.

Seamonkey works fine with Google Apps, which is a very modern heavily scripted, fully interactive 
site, so what's so &$^&*(&)%^ special about your "new" Weather.com that you 
have to make an issue of the browser. Maybe *you* need to join the 21st Century and realize that the 
browser wars are supposed to be over. And learn to process User Agent strings properly so you can 
recognize a modern browser when you see one.


I'm just glad it's fixed.  I think NetFlix is my next target.


Rather than telling them to sniff for SeaMonkey, why not have them sniff 
for the "gecko" process  that way they'll fix their website for 
several browsers!!


You could do worse than send them to http://geckoisgecko.org/  might 
be old, but the relevant information probably still applies!

The extension User Agent Switcher works well.

I've used it for many years on Fx and recently added it to SeaMonkey.

You will need to import the user agent list from
http://techpatterns.com/forums/about304.html.


Why do the people who make these lists of user-agents not fill in all
the blanks other than vendor?  If the appcodename, appname, appversion,
and platform are left blank, it becomes obvious that the user-agent is
faked.



PrefBar only needs a user-defined name for the UA string plus the UA
string itself.  The import file is NOT .xml, which is what User Agent
Switcher uses.

I hand-edit the UA menulist from a log of visits to my Web site, which
contains the UAs of visiting browsers.  I do this about once every 1-2
months in my primary SeaMonkey profile.  Then I export the menulist and
import it to my other profiles and to the SeaMonkey profiles on my
wife's PC, each time deleting the existing menulist before importing the
new one.

What I do is take the .xml file with the fakes, import it into 
User-agent Switcher, then use the extension itself to fill in the blanks 
for those agents that I might possibly want to use.  After that I back 
up the list of user-agents so that I do not have to do that over again 
if something happens to my profile or the extension.

It's possible it is reporting usable RAM at 3.5GB as you may not have
many components in your system occupying address space. I'm not saying
Speccy is wrong, but in most cases a 32-bit system with 4GB of RAM
will have 3.1GB usable. With a 64-bit system, usable RAM on a 4GB
system would be nearly the full 4GB.

On my lowly Latitude E6500 (released in 2008!) with 4GB RAM:

Physical Memory
Memory Usage65 %
Total Physical  3.93 GB
Available Physical  1.36 GB
Total Virtual   7.85 GB
Available Virtual   4.82 GB

As you can see, I'm seeing 3.93GB of the 4096 that 4GB of RAM totals.

I don't know how new your system is presently, but you ought to be
able to buy a used Optiplex 960, 980 or 7010 for cheap on eBay with a
64-bit version of Win 7. I think you might even be able to grab a
64-bit Win 10 install CD from Microsoft and use your 32-bit key. Might
want to research that option a bit more.

@The Chicago Wolf:

If the upper limit on a 32-bit system is 4GB, why are you saying that it's 
really 3.1 GB? Do you mean that if I switch out to 64-bit Win7, I will get the 
full 4GB?

Right this second, Speccy (sysinfo untility) reports:

Physical Memory
Memory Usage53 %
Total Physical  3.50 GB
Available Physical  1.62 GB
Total Virtual   7.00 GB
Available Virtual   4.32 GB

Take a guess how much I want to:
(a) upgrade to 64-bit Windows 7;
(b) purchase new hardware.

The only reason I upgraded from 64-bit WinXP to 32-bit Win7 is because I got a 
5TB external USB 3.0 hard drive and WinXP-32 and Win XP-64 have a 2TB partition 
size limit and cannot see a drive that large (unless it's already formatted to 
partitions no larger than 2TB). That and the fact that Microsoft finally and 
completely dumped XP support.

Whatever computer hardware I buy now can only be cheap used hardware at a local 
computer store that specializes in selling used PCs, presumably obsoleted out 
by businesses.

Given what you wrote, and the fact that I have no money for new computer 
hardware, do you suggest: choosing the most resource-light browser I can find 
and then only running that browser on my system with no other programs running? 
I know this is a SeaMonkey site, but which browser is the least CPU & memory 
intensive?

Note that my preferred method of Web-surfing means running 2 or 3 browsers (SM, 
FF and Maxthon) simultaneously with each browser running multiple tabs, while 
at the same time playing music on the PC, perhaps also with Foxit (PDF reader) 
and OpenOffice also running. When I monitor my system for the purpose of this 
thread, then I do have only 1 browser (Seamonkey) open. However, right now I am 
running both FF and SM and CPU usage ranges primarily from 15-30% (while 
watching Task Manager I also see spikes to 55%).

Thank you.

Since you're on a 32-bit system and some others have explained it's
memory limits, you might be experiencing memory pressure issues.
Meaning, you're hitting a memory ceiling and the system is starved for
resources with your tabs open. These web sites might have intensive
images and other resource gobbling code. If you have anything else
running on your system while Firefox is running, it too will eat up
memory only making the problem worse. Not much you can do.

You have a 4GB system with a 2GB video card. That 4GB of system RAM
works out to be about 3.1GB usable to the *whole* system. It's a
32-bit OS limitation.  That 2GB video card eats up 2GB of RAM
automatically for address space leaving you with 1.1GB of free RAM. If
anything else is using memory, you're going to run out of free RAM
quickly. Thus, experience CPU churn and hard disk swapping virtual
RAM.

The Seamonkey build and update system has been busted for quite some
time now on Mozilla.org. However...

Please try with 2.43 from here as it's being built by a Mozilla person
on a loaner machine until they fix things properly at Mozilla.:
https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/



Also read https://blog.mozilla.org/meeting-notes/archives/2340.

"Adrian Kalla is still producing his localized builds. Ratty suggests
that we should put out a notice on the default SM start page to tell
people where they can download the latest 2.4x release builds
(Mozilla-release is currently at Firefox 45 which corresponds to
SeaMonkey 2.42)."

I'm happy to see it fixed.  I'm among the naggers, and had some fun with my

You don't have a relevant issue so I just picked one.

Your obsolete browser message is crappy and infuriating. I'm running *Google

What nonsense. Meanwhile, users of Seamonkey, which is a perfectly modern

annoying message that their browser isn't supported, which far too many users 
read as "you stupid obsolescent geezer, why don't you get with the 21st

Great public relations there on Weather.com's part. 

Seamonkey works fine with Google Apps, which is a very modern heavily scripted, 
fully interactive site, so what's so &$^&*(&)%^ special about your "new" 
Weather.com that you have to make an issue of the browser. Maybe *you* need to

modern browser when you see one.


I'm just glad it's fixed.  I think NetFlix is my next target.
