Re: 2.2 switcharoo? Or is it my imagination

So when I right mouse and select open link in new tab I keep getting a new browser window because I'm selecting the wrong thing. This is a new issues since 2.2. Did ya'll switch the order of open link in new tab and open link in new window or am I going crazy? If I'm not crazy then why the change - seems it would screw up many who click on auto pilot. Yep, their order was switched in the context menu. Open in a new tab is now on top. That must've been borrowed from the FF5 code which did the same thing.

I'm not up on my acronyms so AMO is a mystery but maybe that's not important. I've figured out that it's probably better to goto the author's website anyway. For example yesterday I couldn't get Flashblock to install into a new Firefox profile, but it worked OK from the author's website. [Apparently the Mozilla servers have problems sometimes, and some routes/methods work better than others. That was a temporary glitch and it's working OK today.] I only have 3 special add-ons (extensions/themes) on my list that I want to always use in Firefox and SeaMonkey so that's not too much trouble.

SM2.2 Add-ons Manager searches poorly
I use the Flashblock add-on in Firefox which comes up OK when I search for Flashblock with the Firefox Add-ons Manager, along with 23 other related add-ons. When I try the same search in SeaMonkey2.2, only one add-on is found, NoScript, which is related but not what I want.

Another add-on which I use in Firefox is Titlebar Tweaks Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/titlebar-tweaks-plus/ This comes up along with 36 other related add-ons if I search for Titlebar with the Firefox Add-ons Manager, but SeaMonkey only finds 3 related add-ons. I also tried a google search and apparently a SeaMonkey version of this add-on is not available. Some relevant questions come to mind: -Did former versions of SeaMonkey search better, or is this a bug in SeaMonkey2.2? -Are a lot fewer add-ons available for SeaMonkey compared to Firefox? -Are the add-on developers not registering their add-ons properly so they'll be found with SeaMonkey searches? Or what? -Is there any way to test/try a Firefox compatible add-on in SeaMonkey if a SeaMonkey version is not officially available (such as my Titlebar Tweaks Plus example above)? -- J.Q.P.

It looks like the same size text is used on the Tab Bar, Menu Bar. and in the address window. It's marginally acceptable at those other locations, but the Tab Bar needs better legibility (a bigger font). It would be OK with me if the font size were increased at all of those locations. Is there any way? Thanks. Here are ways to adjust text size: 1. Start/Settings/Control/Personalization/Adjust Font Size 2. Start/Settings/Control/Personalization/Display Settings 3. Start/Settings/Control/Personalization/Window Color and Appearance/Advanced. Then try adjusting Message Box and Menu fonts to larger and possibly different fonts. 4. In SeaMonkey, Edit/Preferences/Appearance/Fonts. Then make size column values 16, 16, 18. You might also want to change some of fonts (experiment with them). Thanks. That did it. It has been years since I played around with those settings and I did myself some real good. My old eyes thank you! FYI: the SeaMonkey font settings don't affect the font size used on the tabs. That is controlled by windows Message Box.

Add this to your userChrome.css:
/* Make the Search box flex wider */
#search-container, #searchbar {
width: 400px !important;
}
Change the 400px to whatever suits your needs.
Thanks, but I'm in over my head and am getting confused...
I found this reference and have read some of it:
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html
I'm familiar with .html but never did anything with .css
I can make a userChrome.css file with a text editor, but I can't figure out
where to put it. It's supposed to go into a chrome folder in my SeaMonkey
profile folder, but there is no chrome folder therein. So do I create one?
That's for my fully installed SeaMonkey, which is quite different from my
portable installed SeaMonkey. The latter includes an example userChrome.css
file, a chrome folder, etc., which are entirely absent in the full install
SeaMonkey.
It's like the fully installed SeaMonkey 2.2 is missing something. Maybe it's
detecting and using part of the portable installation profile. Maybe I need
to delete the portable installation...(?)

Nope! The chrome folder and example .css files were not there in Firefox nor

of Firefox 3.6.18 and they appeared OK. I also uninstalled SeaMonkey but
haven't reinstalled it yet. I expect it to behave the same. I'll play with
it some more later, maybe tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
