Re: re enable add ons - recover from SM reset

[Frank-Rainer Grahl]

This is not implemented im SM. Sounds more like a glitch with the add-on 
registration database. There were a few reports in the last years but nothing 
worth tracking track down and not reproducible.
I would check the disk for smart failures or corruption and the computer ram 
for errors. Failing hardware can do this too.

Sounds like it did a Firefox refresh. But I don't see how looking at my SM 
2.49.4 on Linux Mint 19.1.




Sorry, I can't help with the extension problem.

re enable add ons - recover from SM reset

Yes if it helps SeaMonkey! :/

There is no new Gecko engine. 56 is pretty close to 57 and not that 
much different from 60. Quantum is more of a marketing gag.


Oh. I thought that was the new Gecko engine, but v52 to v56 is a big 
change. SM needs that badly. :(



There are always some optimizations being made which reduce memory 
usuage. Much was because of ripped out functionality.


The biggest changes between 56 and 60 are the new style system named 
stylo. Only big component used and written in rust (which I don't care 
for because seems to be just another overhyped programming language). 
Also e10s is always on in Fx thanks to no more classic extensions so 
you will see a more responsive browser with s*cky websites like 
facebook. Memory comsumption here is up because of multiple processes.

That could be a problem for me since others and I use our decade old 
computers (Windows 7, Mac OS X, and Debian oldstable/Jessie v8)! :(



In reality the browsing component of 2.57 already on the "new" shiny 
quantum does not feel much different form the patched up unofficial 
2.53. The only big difference here is missing e10s and this does not 
do anything to reduce menory.


Dang it. :(



Running 60 at work now and then and I still prefer SeaMonkey even with 
its limitations :)


Ditto. I always loved the suite products, since Netscape days, even 
though people think I am crazy!



There are a lot of good people still working on Gecko and doing good 
things but Fx will never again be my browser of choice. Porting 
SeaMonkey to the latest source would mean ripping out more things like 
themes and bookmark enhancements and and. The resulting product would 
probably be nothing I care about so I am just looking forward to get 
2.57 done and see what happens then.


Same here even though I do have and use it just in case since MS and 
many web sites don't support its IE11. I hate Google Chrome! :(

Pick Bills build and backup your profile:
http://www.wg9s.com/comm-253/

Halfway to 2.57 and based on latest 56 with now around 1200 patches.

Uses my patch queue and we accept filing bugs against it.


Eh, I'll wait for the public stable version. :)
