This fix solved the difficulties I was having with Google.

Google returned to its normal appearance.  Also With this setting 
turned off I have yet to find any negative effects on other sites. 
With this setting turned off, some sites even appear to work.

If I use Google, I always use its Advanced Search at

However, I generally search with DuckDuckGo at

information about me and my searches.

I seem to recall, some time ago, someone reporting that, when they 
used a (Google??) search engine, they were having difficulties 
seeing the text they entered  as though, to start, they were 
entering their text on line 2 of a 1.5 line high text box.

Google does incorrect user agent sniffing and return html gobblygock 
to SeaMonkey. You need to set a plain Firefox user agent for this to 
work.

I removed the printer, reinstalled the win7 software,

Yes, I saw your image.  However, that is not what I requested.  In the
image, the top has a Print button followed by a Page Setup button.
Select the Page Setup button.

You will get a smaller window with two tabs.  One tab is Format &
Options.  The other tab is Margins & Header/Footer.  I requested you
tell us -- in text not with an image -- what you see on the Format &
Options tab.  While you are doing that, you might as well also tell us
what you see on the Margins & Header/Footer tab.

By the way, the reason I request text and not an image is that the
operation of this newsgroup often filters out attachments, including
images.  As an alternative, you can create images and upload them to
some server.  In that case, indicate the URI (Web address) of the images.

As I reported earlier in this thread, I do not see this problem at
Google's Advanced Search.  I generally disable "Advertise Firefox
compatibility", so my user agent string is
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.49.4

Re: google search box

[Ronnie]

Thanks for the help! I'm on linux and it's been driving me crazy.. I 
found the newly update 'TotalSpoof' addon fixes it nicely... it's 
extremely lightweight and as an added plus it convinces the seamonkey 
addons site that all their plugins are compatible... in other words not 
greyed out... which will be great for most user... it also of course 
completely fixes the google search box issues...
