any solution?


Javascript is disabled for viewing email messages in SeaMonkey. There's 
no way to enable it. You're going to have to watch the Youtube video in

Updater?

[Larry S.]

I was under the impression that the Seamonkey updater wasn't working, 
but now my wife (but not me) is getting a notice that there is an 
updater.exe, sourced from the Seamonkey location on her hard drive, and 
asking to be executed.


So far she is turning it down, but it keeps coming. So, is there now an 
official Seamonkey updater, or is this a scam or virus?

The broken update doesn't affect all platforms. It for sure isn't working on 
Windows. I think it works on macOS. ewong is also still working on it and 
might have fixed it but I didn't see a notice from him about it. If you do a 
check for updates and it comes up should be ok.

Mine is Windows 7, and hers is W 10. Check for up dates doesn't show 
anything (no updates found), but both are up to date anyhow with 2.49.3.


She finally clicked o.k. on the message she was getting, and it opened 
the 2.49.3 Release Notes (which, of course, show in red that automatic 
updates are not available). Strange!

It was advised for ver.2.49.3 to load it fully, so not with an update

Programmed Obsolescence

[Francois LE COAT]

Hi,

Why versions of SeaMonkey are not available for Mac OS X 10.6.8 ? It's
called "Programmed Obsolescence" because there's nothing to explain !

Re: How to Seamonkey after New SSD and Win 10 installation

You'll need to reinstall Seamonkey under the new OS. If you want to keep 
your configuration as is:


* First, make a copy of the new installation's 
[whatever_name_it_is].default profile directory. You'll end up with a 
"[whatever_name_it_is].default - Copy" directory. This is insurance.


* Delete the entire contents of the new installation's profile directory.

* Go to the profile directory of the earlier, other-OS Seamonkey and 
copy the entire contents of that directory.


* Paste those contents into the new installation's now-empty profile 
directory.


You should now be back in business.



I am! Thanks guys!

Hi Francois,
The underlying Mozilla code that SeaMonkey uses no longer supports macOS 
10.6.

Recent versions of Mac OS X are not intended for my hardware. It would
be awfully slow. I won't upgrade my OS version. I would lose all my
work on this computer, the Rosetta virtual machine, only 64bits
versions etc. I'm not living on this planet ! Apple and Pears ...

Here's a direct quote from the time it was announced for Firefox in 2016:
"The motivation for this change is that we have continued failures that
are specific to these old operating systems and don't have the resources
on engineering teams to prioritize these bugs. Especially with the
deployment of e10s we're seeing intermittent and permanently failures on
MacOS 10.6 that we are not seeing elsewhere. We get very little testing
of old MacOS versions from our prerelease testers and cannot dedicate
much paid staff testing support to these platforms. We also have an
increasingly fragile set of old hardware that supports automated tests
on 10.6 and do not intend to replace this.

This will affect approximately 1.2% of our current release population."

I don't know what the percentage is for SeaMonkey.

Cool. :)

Same basic idea can be used for backing up and restoring SM configs to and from other 
directories/disks without using any special software.
