Re: Seamonkey 2.53.6 - why does it block ad blocking and tracking blocking
It is not plugins, but extensions that do the ad and tracking blocking. uBlock Origin still works well with SeaMonkey. Same here. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The new bookmark is meant to be created by default. To "Cancel" adding the bookmark, you have to use the "Remove Bookmark" button. It appears to be a bug that changes to the dialog fields are still applied even if Cancel is used. Personally I would not have made the dialog behave this way (even with the bug fixed). Rather, I would have had OK and Cancel options so that no bookmark is added until OK is used, and any changes to the dialog are saved at the same time. The dialog as-is is adequate for editing an existing bookmark (especially if the update bug were fixed). /df -- London UK ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Weather extension for Seamonkey 2.53.x?
Hi Everybody, Which weather extension that works with Seamonkey 2.53.x would you recommend? One that would display the forecast for the next 3-4 days on the status bar. Unfortunately ForecastFox (fixed version) 2.4.8 no longer works on the Windows version of Seamonkey 2.53.x. Thanks in advance dstamat ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
How not to loose data ---Broken record alert
Everything natural and man made is subject to breaking. And if every part of a system is in one container, failure of one part threatens the utility of the entire system. There used to be "console" home entertainment systems. Because of the difficulty of replacing or upgrading one part, component systems replaced the console concept. If all computer software is in one "bucket", trying to repair, work around, upgrade an OS, apps, or data, is more difficult - and sometimes scary - than if different types are partitioned off so as to reduce the effect they have on each other. I am doing this message on a laptop. The partitions are; two Win7, Apps, Data, and two Storage. If an OS has an issue I can boot the other. I can replace an OS and use the existing apps. Here the primary subject is Mozilla. The apps are in the Apps partition, and profiles and mail are in their own separate trees on the Data partition. I can add or replace a SM version and have the new use the existing profile. To the degree that they are compatible, different versions can all use the same profile. There was a time that I made serious use of OS/2. I had OS/2 SM and Win SM using the same, literal profile files. My primary profile began life in Netscape. That includes all it's data; mail, bookmarks, passwords. At some point there started being calls such as "I lost my mail". My primary mail account has grown to about a hundred filters. I filter the stuff I want to read, and that leaves the Inbox as mostly all of the incoming junk, and easy to dispose of. EXE install programs have a tendency to try to "freshen" everything. And that sometimes results in a blank profile, and "lost" data. Look at the screen shot linked below. I currently have nine SM versions on the HDD. Clicking any one of those run objects calls the profile manager. Whatever SM version I selected can then then select any one of those profiles - each profile is dedicated to one or more SM versions. All the listed profiles either use the same mail files, or a new blank file. I will delete most of those versions as I determine I no longer intend to use them. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kGqMk5fA8YUR6PkJ7 Since it is possible for one SM version to make unwanted changes to a profile maintained by another version, before running a version that might cause an issue I run the profile backup routine shown below. Repair is just delete/copy the backup back to the primary location. This scheme also provides for multiple users the to use the same computer and app, but with their own profile. My mail has never been "lost".

Ctrl-D presented a bookmark title I could edit. I then highlighted folder A, and then B, and then clicked cancel. The bookmark was placed in B. The window is tilted "Edit". Editing is often a messy operation with many changes and sometimes cancellations. And in any system I can think of, "Save" is required to be a deliberate act. This "Edit" function just put an entry where I did not want it, just because I touched an object.

Re: Ctrl-D window size
Ray Davison wrote: It appears the function of Ctrl-D has not changed. The heading has changed from "New Bookmark", to "Edit this bookmark". Which is really Edit this Bookmark title. It used to show the actual link which it called Location, but not in the current version. And, what used to be "Save" is now "Done". Changing New to Edit and Save to Done has made those functions labels less intuitive. I suspect the reasons for the changes to wording are that: * If you have already bookmarked the page, the same shortcut and dialog edits the existing bookmark - so it's not just used for adding new bookmarks * Changes are applied as soon as you make them - you don't have to click that button, and labelling it "Save" would imply that the changes aren't saved unless you click it I don't know whether those aspects of the behaviour have changed, and the text changed accordingly, or whether it's always been that way and the text just updated to more accurately reflect what it does.

Re: Help! All my passwords gone after update frum 2.53.3 to 2.53.6.1 - Its gone worse
Hi Rainer, after the first start of the new version the other preferences seemed to be present. But after I closed SeaMonkey and opened it again - all my email accounts have disappeared up to one which I have not in use. So I think I will re-install the former version. Can you tell me where I can have an overview of the files to be saved if I want to restore SeaMonkey? On Windows 7 Pro I can find such files in the \user\AppData directories. Are there any othe relevant files in other directories ? Next question: is it possibe to import password data from FirefOX or from Google Chrome`? thanks for help - Kann ich Ihnen auch auf Deutsch schreiben ?
