I too have come to a fork in the road and am now looking to move to
another browser. the stalling and memory usage has now gotten out of
control. since we move to the 2.53 series my ram usage has doubled,
and I don't have double the ram so it swaps constantly and because of
this its slow as a wet week.

None of the other browsers I have tried including Firefox use as much
ram for the same sites open.

Thanks


Are you using the binaries from https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ 
or is

it a distribution-compiled version?



Distro version (manjaro). I have now just downloaded the ones from
seamonkey and will try this for a few days and see how it goes


Thanks! Please let us know how it goes - it will be very helpful to know
whether this happens with both packages or not.



Ok I have been using 2.53.4b1 for a few days downloaded directly from 
SM website, I have been doing pretty much the same things I always do 
and have at this point in time an improvement in ram usage, down 
around 40%.


Ill keep using this for a few more days and report back again.

Thanks



Ok I can safely say Im still having the same issues .. over a period of 
a few hours CPU and RAM go through the roof.


Pity I was hoping for a fix.




Doing any cryptomining?

Testing Video Conferences

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Hi all,

Interested in doing some Tests with Video Calls / Video-Conferences with 
SeaMonkey?


It will be mandatory to have installed Add-on "WebRTC Permissions UI 
Toggl", and I recommend to install "User Agent Switcher [converted]" 
additionally.


May I ask you to keep strict Thread discipline?  New Thread for each 
Conference system, ...


Hope to see you here

Mail notifications still need add-on

[Dirk Fieldhouse]

The release notes for SM 2.53.3 say:


 SeaMonkey 2.53.3 shares most parts of the mail and news code with Thunderbird. 
Please read the Thunderbird 60.0 release notes for specific changes and 
security fixes in this release.


The Thunderbird 60.0 release notes say:

Native notifications on Linux are now re-enabled


But not in SM 2.53.3, apparently (LXLE Ubuntu 16.04 x86), where I still 
have to use the GNotifier extension to get anything other than a sound.

Which occurs because there is no captcha to complete.

Is there a fix for that?

It also occurs with FF.

Worked for me with no JS enabled on the site, SM 2.53.3. I created an 
account with a dummy email address and was then showed as logged in.


Did you fill in the "Verification: (what range of cameras is the forum

re-insert the Dongle and re-connect to the Internet.

To go Off-line, in SeaMonkey, I click the little connect-oid thingey
in the bottom right of screen  well, at least I do in my SeaMonkey
Browser or Mail and News screen.

But I cannot do this in the SeaMonkey Chatzilla screen. Why not??

Sure, it's no real 'biggy' having to switch to one of the other
screens, but why??


I don't use ChatZilla, so there might be something I'm not aware of, but
with ChatZilla 0.9.96 on SeaMonkey 2.53.3, it looks like there is an
offline/online toggle icon in the status bar, but with a different
image: the rightmost icon, just before the resize grip/handle.

Ah!! So the graphic used in Chatzilla is different compared to the 
graphic used in Browser and Mail & News.


Thanks for pointing that out to me!!

Re: Does 'K' really killfile a thread??

Over on one of my UseNet groups, one of the posters wants to become 
the greatest poster to that group  and one of the other posters, 
who is currently the greatest poster to that group.


So Poster A will post about anything with the slightest connection to 
that group (Actors Birthdays, Deaths, Anniversary, etc) which usually 
then draws a post from Poster B telling Poster A to stop Spamming the 
group.


I'm sure I have previously pressed 'K' in my SM 2.49.5 to Killfile 
such threads ... but they keep coming back or, at least, I think they 
are coming back next Birthday, Death Anniversary, whatever.


Are the new posts definitely in the same thread, or do these posters 
keep starting new threads (or replying in various different threads)? 
Even if the subject line is the same that doesn't necessarily make it 
the same thread - threading is based on message headers (Message-ID, 
In-Reply-To and References for emails, not sure if it's the same headers 
for newsgroups).  Outlook and perhaps others do attempt to use the 
subject to thread messages, but personally I find that a right pain, 
e.g. when it decides an email titled "Meeting today" is a reply to an 
email titled "Meeting today" from 3 years ago!  SeaMonkey and (as far as 
I know) Thunderbird thankfully don't do that.



Where is the Killfile stasis of the threads in a UseNet group stored??

Or am I wrong in my impression that when I press 'K' on a thread that 
thread should disappear from my sight forever  or at least until I 
take some remedial action to make a thread come alive again??


If they do keep starting new threads or posting in various other 
threads, it may be more effective to just ignore messages from these 
particular posters?  I don't use newsgroups (I post here via the mailing 
list) so not familiar with the exact filtering options for them, but 
there may be an option to ignore or mark as read messages from 
particular senders (and perhaps also to ignore the rest of the thread or 
subthread as well).  If they're trying to be recognised as frequent 
posters on the group, presumably they're posting with consistent names 
and addresses, so should be relatively easy to filter - unlike spammers 
who post from randomised IDs to evade filtering.


Definitely the same sender posting to the same thread using the same 
e-mail address and name/nym.


As some of the threads are to do with Birthdays, Anniversaries of 
Deaths, I suspect that the content might also be the same, copied from a 
web-site or some such!

You could try smooth scrolling.  I prefer that because it is less
jumpy that way.


How to smooth scroll ? Is it an SM option/parameter ?



1.  On the menu bar, select [Edit > Preferences].

2.  On the left side of the Preferences window, select [Appearance >
Content].

3.  Under Scrolling on the Content pane, select the checkbox for "Use
smooth scrolling" to insert a checkmark there.

4.  Select the OK button.

However, I found smooth scrolling to be somewhat annoying.


I have just try it: back to regular scrolling.
I do not like this smooth scrolling but i agree this can be fine for 
someone else.
