I can make it work in the way described by Ralph's first work-around.

Disabling Javascript seems to make the problem go away by placing the
search options in a menu on the left. Disabling javascript completely is
impractical but using noscript to disable it just for google might be a
solution.

My Seamonkey 2.49a2 identifies itself as Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64;
rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49a2. So I thught maybe
this is a bug which hasn't yet reached my firefox which is still on 51 I
think. But that doesn't fit with the problem being in Seamonkey 2.40.

I suppose the thing to do is to see if it has been recorded on bugzilla
and if not then raise it on there, and then it will be rejected if it is
down to google and not to a fault in the browser.

I might do that shortly.

I tried an new clean profile with the same results.
Any idea?



If I hold my mouse just below the "any time", there is a level where
"any time" changes from grey to black.  If I click at that level, I get
the drop-down to change the time.

Good to know it isn't just me. This is a pretty big issue for me.

Here, it works where the mouse pointer changes to a _hand_.

If my first idea still doesn't work, change your User Agent string (my 
second idea above).




My current work around is to use "advanced search" which is an overkill
PITA.

Any idea what the issue is and what can be done to fix this? Seems to be
a major bug.


IIRC it used to work in SeaMonkey 2.40.  If so, SeaMonkey 2.40 has not 
changed -- Google has.


FYI Google only supports the most recent two versions of major browsers
(Firefox, Chrome, IE, Edge).  SeaMonkey 2.40 looks like Gecko/Firefox 
43.0  Google appears to have updated its HTML/JavaScript and relegated

Gecko/Firefox 43.0 to "historical" status.

The good news is that profiles are mostly portable, from platform to 
platform.  The link you posted in your follow-up notes a couple of small 
things to account for -- menu navigation that's slightly different, 
differences in fonts, extensions that may be platform-specific, etc.


The key thing is mostly a matter of location.

In Windows, your profile is in %HOMEDIR%\Mozilla\Seamonkey\Profiles.  In 
Debian-based systems (and I'm assuming that for this Debian and Ubuntu 
work the same way), the profile is located in ~/.mozilla/seamonkey.


On the Debian side, what you want to do is launch Seamonkey, and let the 
profile manager run -- you don't have to complete it, but let it get as 
far as the first dialog.  That will be sufficient to create the profile.


The thing that you don't want to do (actually, you can, if you want, but 
it's more effort) is to edit the contents of the profiles.ini file. Take 
the contents of the directory specified by the profiles.ini file on the 
Windows side, and then copy to directory specified by the profiles.ini 
on the Debian side.


In discussions of backup methodologies, there are some that insist on 
copying profiles.ini, and then if it comes to shuffling profile 
contents, editing profiles.ini, and ensuring that a new profile on a new 
machine has an identical name as the original profile.  For me, I'm 
content to use the profile manager, and let it assign the directory 
names, and simply copy the contents of the profile directory.


One other suggestion: if you normally do POP for mail, rather than IMAP, 
I suggest tweaking the settings on both the old and new profiles to 
"leave messages on server", and setting the retention period for 
something like a week, at least while you're in transition. Doing this 
will allow you to get to all your mail from either machine, until you're 
satisfied that everything on the new machine is performing the way you 
want. After the transition is complete, you can return to your previous 
retention settings.

In Linux desktop, the .file and .directories are usually visible with
Ctrl H.


You can simply copy your profile directory, informations here :




That link does not cover moving between operating systems.

I see something broken too. I am on 2.49a2. The "search tools" is on the
left instead of the right as it is in firefox.
