Why would Seamonkey be chewing up 430 megs of RAM all the time? ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Interesting, thanks. I had about a dozen tabs open at the time, that may have caused it. A lot of this is greek to me. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

And as I said in my other post, it's JavaScript included with the Google page. Try using Google with all your add-ons and extensions disabled. OK, apparently it's called Google search-as-you-type and there's more here: http://code.google.com/p/search-as-you-type/ When I reverted to SM 2.7, it started doing it again after a couple of days. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Now for some reason it still isn't working right in Google searches. It used to automatically search Google instantly as I typed in the search box. Now I must type everything and hit search. It stopped doing the instant part when I upgraded to 2.8 and hasnt started doing it again now that I reverted. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The new fad for searches that start while one is still typing is, as far as I am concerned, yet another example of fashion for fashion's sake. It accomplishes nothing other than wasting resources (my computer's and the network's) by searching for things in which I am not the least interested and in transferring single character packets rather than waiting for a complete buffer full.

That annoying search-as-you-type is accomplished by JavaScript. Javascript is still all enabled for the browser. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

It's in the SM Edit pulldown menu - Find text as you type. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Jean, from the header of your message, I cannot tell what operating system you are using, but I'm guessing Windows, so these should work. Yeah, Win 7, sorry for not saying. First things first.back-up your profile! In SeaMonkey, have a look at Edit-Mail Newsgroup Settings and select Server Settings for your e-mail accounts. At the bottom of this screen is your Local directory location. This is where your profile is stored. Make a copy of the profile or use a program called MozBackup to make a copy. NextDownload a copy of SM 2.7.2 from www.seamonkey-project.org. I just went this far and ran the install and it appears to have worked fine, thanks! Came right up after the install with all my saved toolbar tabs, latest bookmarks and everyhing. THANK YOU Dan! ThreeInstall SM 2.7.2 over the top of your current SM 2.8. To find where your SM 2.8 is installed, right click on your desktop icon and note the location listed under properties. Fourto connect to your profile, in SeaMonkey, select Tools-Switch Profiles-Manage Profiles-Create Profile, give it a name and, on the same screen, Choose Folder and point it to the folder (has a name something like efbj6hdb.default) that contains your old profile. Report back. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
