hello, thanks for the response. it is version 2.6.1 I get the feeling now it is kinda old. My pc is also old but thats the main reason i'm trying linux. Functions in my car workshop mainly to lookup info, check mail and use youtube.. I'm going to try install a newer version, if possible the latest.

Thanks. Disabling "advertise Firefox compatibility" restored the normal
Google search box.
To turn off "Advertise Firefox compatibility" go to
Preferences->advanced->Http Networking. Uncheck "advertise Firefox
compatibility".
There is another possibility. You can use an override aimed at only one
site. For using Dailymotion with SeaMonkey, I set up this in about:config:
user_pref("general.useragent.override.dailymotion.com", "Mozilla/5.0

(I have before) Is there a way to make it use less memory? If so, what would it be? The amount of memory used by any browser reflect the following: * how many tabs are open * how complex are the Web pages * what scripts are running in the Web pages * what extensions are active That's always the case with memory usage. In my own usage, I find hangs and slow response happening when there's a lot of scripting active. I admit that I run a lot of extensions, but some of them are likely to have memory leaks. I've also found that if I leave Seamonkey open overnight, the following morning, the performance is sluggish enough that it's worth doing a restart. You had FOUR tabs open just of Facebook! Did you really need all four? How much memory is required if you have only one tab for Facebook and no tabs for anything else? How much memory is required if you have four tabs open but none of them are for Facebook? Were any of your tabs streaming a video or sound? I do not use Facebook, so I cannot test what happens with tabs open to Facebook. With two tabs open to Web pages that automicatically update, however, I just launched a YouTube streaming video of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto; the memory requirement immediately doubled (but still less than 260 MB). I don't use Facebook either, so I've never seen how it behaves on an individual computer. However, I'm aware that Facebook's architecture is such that it makes massive consumption of available resources. I have a friend used to be the IT services director for a college campus, and he noted to me that at their campus, most of the available bandwidth disappears between about 5:00 in the afternoon and 2:00 in the morning, and where most of that is being consumed by connections to Facebook servers. In a similar way, I know of a particular developing country that has similar issues at the same times of day. Nearly everybody in the country (at least those with Internet access) are on Facebook, and where the saturation is enough that it's pretty much impossible to use the Internet for anything else. Let me splain that. I do not often use the main Facebook "newsfeed". I use groups. I am probably an active member of a dozen or so. When i opened Usenet there were three groups available on my "subscribed" main page. I use faceook much the same way as i used Usednet for many years previous What you're actually using Facebook for is mostly irrelevant. Facebook and Usenet have entirely different architectures. Usenet (and even now, there's portions that are still functioning) dates back to the late 80's, where everything was simple text, and a significant amount of the activity was over dial-up modems. Facebook is decades newer, where it's built on the assumption of ubiquitous broadband, GUI in general, and the necessary infrastructure to support the World Wide Web. And where Usenet's model was collaborative and altruistic, Facebook is a for-profit operation. Perhaps there's a measure of merit in their stated goal of connecting the entire world together, but underneath that, the user-level interaction is what fuels an operation of data collection and analysis, which can be aggregated and analyzed, and subsequently resold for Facebook's profit. Thus, when Facebook has been challenged on privacy issues, their response has, so far, mostly been window dressing, where they make some token updates as a way of trying to mute the criticism, but where there's no substantial changes in the way that they do business, and certainly not in a way that makes a significant change in their revenue streams. At this point, further analysis of Facebook is very clearly off-topic for a discussion of Seamonkey. However, noting that as background helps explain why use of Facebook may impose performance issues on your use of Seamonkey. For you, whether you're using Facebook as a logical replacement for Usenet, or any other Facebook service, it's all Facebook, and it may be that the only variable may be how many Facebook services you're currently accessing. Having more tabs open with Facebook services will definitely increase that, but you may have considerable usage on even one or two tabs. Because I don't have first-hand experience of using Seamonkey, I'm only guessing, but I think it's probable that you're seeing evidence of what Facebook actually does while you're connected to it. It's not clear to me if your memory and CPU usage wo
