I see here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/your-hardware-no-longer-supported

It says:

"You may be able to obtain a version that does not require SSE2 from
 your Linux distribution."

Does this mean that I could compile seamonkey on my AMD Athlon XP
(currently running slackware) in theory?

It affects my AMD Athlon XP, although I don't use it very much, so I am
not too bothered.

Is SeaMonkey v2.40 very slow on it? I can't remember if I used SM on it. 
I know I used Mozilla suites.

So please check out [1] or [2].

Please note that the website information, while updated for

Hi All,

(this is a personal note, so any flak should be directed to me only and
no one else).

While this is in the soon-to-be-released release notes, I felt it's
prudent that I post this here.

SeaMonkey 2.46 took it's not-so-sweet time in being released due to a
plethora of issues (I am so damn glad at least others are more on the
ball than I am -- namely frg whose more clear-headed than I am).  That
said, there is one major issue.

SeaMonkey 2.40 will be the *last* version that supports non-CPU SSE
enabled systems.  2.44 (or maybe 2.43) *was* supposed to be the version
that gave users the 'your system will no longer be supported due to
it not having a SSE-enabled CPU' message (or something like that).
Unfortunately, 2.44 was skipped (as was 2.43 and 2.45) and so this
will come to users as a surprise (especially those installing the
full installer).

Since I have no knowledge (we lost this metric awhile ago) of how many
users we really have, I don't know how many are affected by this
and I suspect we won't know unless someone speaks out here or
anywhere.  If you are affected, please use 2.40.

My humblest apologies for suddenly springing this version on the user
base without mentioning it anywhere beforehand (the bug that dealt with
this change slipped off my radar).

Is there a method by which an end-user can determine if a PC has a CPU
that is SSE enabled?  My wife's PC was built in 2010 with an Intel
Pentium processor, but I cannot tell if it is Pentium 4, which is where
SSE first appeared.

You can install Piriform Speccy, free or paid version, and check it 
under the CPU heading.

If you aren't fortunate enough to be on an OS where that works, Windows

I tried Ralph's work around GIF and mine doesn't do that for some reason.  I
see your bug got declined as "invalid".
Sounds like the fix is to change the user agent. What is the best way to do
that these days? I had a plug in years ago for that but haven't had to do it
in years.


I used "user agent switcher" as described by FRG in the bugzilla. Search
for that in addons. But you have to then download and import a list of
agents to get Firefox 49. Otherwise it's just i.e. and a few obscure
ones.

http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/



Thanx, that did it.
Finding the user agent list to import was way less than intuitive. It 
didn't have FF49 in it but FF47 UA fixed the issue.

Resurrecting an old theme

[Roger Fink]

In case anybody else has saved a copy, the Mostly Crystal theme works 
perfectly on this upgrade to 2.46, even after many years of lying 
dormant. Or at least that is true for my installation on Win7/32, which 
I use for browsing and newsgroup posting. I only had to update install.rdf.


JMO of course, but I've always considered Mostly Crystal to be THE best 
of the "traditional GUI" themes for SeaMonkey, including the various 
baked-in default themes. The woman who created it, whose screen name 
I've forgotten but who used to post on this board, got a little 
frustrated with Mozilla and closed it down. It would be great if someone 
devised a way, with her assent, to keep it current and make it an 
ongoing offering (or the default theme) for this browser, since


a) the releases aren't coming that fast anymore.
b) it plays nice with the Menu Filter extension, which reins in the wild 
and crazy SM drop-down menus, and,
c) importantly for an integrated browser/email application, the hard 
work has already been done.


So far SM v.2.46 works beautifully - great job.

Never mind; I found them.

Previously, a very large file of checksums would have been at
, the main

the checksums for all language versions.

Now, the file of checksums for my en-US version is

 There appears to be a checksum file in each language's folder.

This is okay, just as long as checksums are indeed provided.  However, I

Hello.

I text/SMS through e-mails, but I noticed SeaMonkey doesn't show the

inlined though. Also, replying them with quotes fail as well.


Here is an example from an e-mail's source code from an [deleted phone

Paul B. Gallagher wrote:

David E. Ross wrote:


I have files unrelated to SeaMonkey that are no less important. I
do a system-wide backup every week.


In my case, nightly (mission-critical work computer). The first week
I had a computer (a PC-XT in 1985), I lost a whole day's work by
failing to back it up. Ever since, my motto has been, "If you love
me, back me up."

Some basic principles all users should follow for backup (I'm sure
you know this, but other readers may not):


I would go one step further -- think through your potential recovery
scenarios. There's enough variants that one particular backup
methodology or tool may not fit all the possibilities for recovery.
There's a difference between doing a bare-metal recovery following a
device or controller failure and a recovery from an "oops" overwrite or
deletion of one or two critical files.


Good point. An ideal backup system supports both.


1) Do it automatically. If you have to think about it, you'll forget
or make excuses, and when disaster comes you'll lose something
important because you didn't back it up.

2) Separate the backup media from the source computer. If the backup
is killed by the same disaster as the computer, you have no backup.


And don't rely on a single media set that's continuously attached,
although this works against point 1). Now that one of the varieties of
malware that we have to account for includes ransomware, you need to
make sure that you account for the possibility of that kind of thing
encrypting your backups. Plus, there's always the the matter of making
sure you have off-site backups (think: building burning down, or a
lost/stolen laptop).


Yep, that's the point of separation.

There are essentially two approaches to this: backup via the Internet to 
a remote site ("the cloud"), or swap the media regularly so the 
penultimate one is always off-site.


There are trade-offs here. Backing up to a remote site entails the risk 
that someone else may gain access to your data (use hard encryption), 
that the remote host may fail (HW crash, etc.) or go out of business, 
and that you may lose/forget your password, encryption key, etc. And 
swapping the media runs up against points 1) and 3) -- the more thought 
you have to put in, the less reliable it is.



Years ago, I was backing up a desktop PC onto floppy disks, and I had
the habit of using just one set of floppies, writing a new backup over
the previous one. One time, I was doing a backup when the hard drive was
in the process of failing, and I had a crash while I was backing up.
Thus, the new backup set was unusable, and the old backup was no longer
available.  Following a reboot, I was able to run a new complete backup,
but I learned that it's important never to discard/obliterate an old
backup, until you have a usable one to replace it with.


Excellent point.


Keeping this on a slightly Seamonkey focus: ...

On my own system, I do have things set to do nightly backups (and I know
how to get to the profile data in the Windows directory hierarchy), but
with my main Seamonkey profile, I periodically use MozBackup to make an
extra copy. If I don't write that archive directly to my backup drive,
it's not a problem to drop it into a folder that normally gets backed up
as a part of the daily backup process.  However, because I do that one
manually, it's a good example of why it's unwise to rely on backups that
require that you run them manually.


Yepper.

Install a popup blocker.  I use uBlock Origin.

The popups may be html5 so make sure your flash blocker also blocks html5.

I used "user agent switcher" as described by FRG in the bugzilla. Search
for that in addons. But you have to then download and import a list of
agents to get Firefox 49. Otherwise it's just i.e. and a few obscure
ones.

If you got it from Adrian stay with 2.47. Not sure if the profiles are

2.48. It might also not be available officially as a 64 bit Windows version.

Always good to have then so you know no one tampered with the files.

Then why have all previous versions of SeaMonkey -- and the latest
releases of Thunderbird and Firefox -- have checksums (also known as
hashcodes)?

Re: SM2.46 default search engine problem

[Frank-Rainer Grahl]

Use the force (or google search).

Known bug. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1265881 for 
a workaround.


Or open Sidebar. Set search engine and do one search from there. Default 
engine should be set to this one then.

I am getting the same problem on SM 2.46 in OS X 10.11.6.

I can set the default search engine in the preferences dialog, but that 
does not change the default search engine for the url bar; it is always 
'DuckDuckGo'

Well... um.. *embarrassed grin*

I'm sure everyone knows that my intention was to s/2.40/2.46/,
in my haste, I just did the c&p and missed the 2nd part. :(

Re: Am I doing this correctly ?

[NFN Smith]

All good stuff. A couple of additional thoughts inserted...


Paul B. Gallagher wrote:

David E. Ross wrote:


I have files unrelated to SeaMonkey that are no less important. I
do a system-wide backup every week.


In my case, nightly (mission-critical work computer). The first week
I had a computer (a PC-XT in 1985), I lost a whole day's work by
failing to back it up. Ever since, my motto has been, "If you love
me, back me up."

Some basic principles all users should follow for backup (I'm sure
you know this, but other readers may not):


I would go one step further -- think through your potential recovery 
scenarios. There's enough variants that one particular backup 
methodology or tool may not fit all the possibilities for recovery. 
There's a difference between doing a bare-metal recovery following a 
device or controller failure and a recovery from an "oops" overwrite or 
deletion of one or two critical files.




1) Do it automatically. If you have to think about it, you'll forget
or make excuses, and when disaster comes you'll lose something
important because you didn't back it up.

2) Separate the backup media from the source computer. If the backup
is killed by the same disaster as the computer, you have no backup.


And don't rely on a single media set that's continuously attached, 
although this works against point 1). Now that one of the varieties of 
malware that we have to account for includes ransomware, you need to 
make sure that you account for the possibility of that kind of thing 
encrypting your backups. Plus, there's always the the matter of making 
sure you have off-site backups (think: building burning down, or a 
lost/stolen laptop).


A further consideration: cloud-based backups can be one way of quickly 
getting off-site, but it's one that is good not to rely on entirely.  If 
you can't get to your backups (no internet connectivity, DDoS of 
provider, provider failure, etc.) you have no backup.


Years ago, I was backing up a desktop PC onto floppy disks, and I had 
the habit of using just one set of floppies, writing a new backup over 
the previous one. One time, I was doing a backup when the hard drive was 
in the process of failing, and I had a crash while I was backing up. 
Thus, the new backup set was unusable, and the old backup was no longer 
available.  Following a reboot, I was able to run a new complete backup, 
but I learned that it's important never to discard/obliterate an old 
backup, until you have a usable one to replace it with.




3) Use a system that doesn't impact your lifestyle or workstyle. If
it's a PITA, you'll find an excuse to abort it or cancel it, and then
you'll have no backup.

4) Test the restore function periodically. If you can't restore, you
have no backup.


Absolutely. Think: fire drill.  Years ago, I had a major disaster when a 
server failed, and then we discovered that the controller of the backup 
device had silently failed some time previously.  We didn't have any 
backups.


Keeping this on a slightly Seamonkey focus: several months ago, I was 
having problems with my inbox and indexing (which I discussed in this 
newsgroup), and more than once, I lost most of the messages in my POP 
inbox. I was grateful to have daily backups to draw from, and I needed 
them more than once.  For that, a file-centric backup (where I could 
recover just my inbox, and not even the entire profile) was what I 
needed. A full-image backup (including boot sectors and Windows 
registry) would have been far less useful for that kind of recovery.


On my own system, I do have things set to do nightly backups (and I know 
how to get to the profile data in the Windows directory hierarchy), but 
with my main Seamonkey profile, I periodically use MozBackup to make an 
extra copy. If I don't write that archive directly to my backup drive, 
it's not a problem to drop it into a folder that normally gets backed up 
as a part of the daily backup process.  However, because I do that one 
manually, it's a good example of why it's unwise to rely on backups that 
require that you run them manually.

Now that's a Christmas Present I can get behind!  I'd made myself a
promise that if there wasn't a new version of Seamonkey by the New Year,
I'd be converting over to Firefox and Thunderbird.  I already did on my
laptop since I travel around with that thing and can't be 100% sure of
every wireless access point I use, but I was hanging in there on my
desktop with Seamonkey.  Thanks, and Happy Holidays to everyone
involved.  Can't wait till it shows up in the Ubuntuzilla PPA!


Ditto. I just upgraded my 64-bit Debian stable/Jessie's with the 64-bit 
version. So far, so good. I will wait for the internal updates in 64-bit 
Windows 7 HPE SP1. :)
