Daniel Not likely, I was looking to download a project for my grandson. I don't know where you find a film, since the end file is a PDF. Don't be so suspicious, I'm 77 and retired with no ambition to advertise anything. I'm just trying to find out why PDF links crash my Seamonkey. vampire13 What PDF link?? on that part on the link you provided, I don't see any mention of PDF! Daniel Daniel: My apologies, I assumed responders would check the "View" and "Instructions" links next to the images which are the links to PDF files I should have made that clearer. By now I should know not to "assume" anything. I certainly can connect to the page but whenever I click on any of the indicated links Seamonkey crashes and closes. Again, this only happens in Seamonkey. I can right click and save the target but, I cannot open the links in my browser. Ed Ed, have you got anything set up as a helper to help SM handle PDF's? Daniel Good catch Daniel, PDF documents under helpers was set to "always ask" I reset it to use ADOBE Reader as default and presto, the links now open in an ADOBE window. The other ADOBE files are set to open the reader in Seamonkey. I haven't had occasion to test them but, at least I know where to go if there is a problem. My thanks to all the good people for their help and suggestions. Ed ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Works for me in SM 2.04 under Windows XP with 4GB RAM, with a caveat noted below. Right-click and Save Link As on the View link by each project saves a PDF locally. Attempting to open it in SeaMonkey invokes Acrobat Reader to display the PDF. One thing you might try is a configuration change in Acrobat Reader. Invoke Acrobat Reader, select Edit/Preferences, and in the Internet page *uncheck* "Display PDF in browser". Normally, the browser attepts to call Acrobat Reader as a plugin, and displays the PDF in a tab. Unchecking that option in Reader makes it open in a new window as a separate external process. I formed this habit years back to work around a bug in Acrobat - if it was called as a plugin from the browser, the Acrobat process remained in memory, even *after* closing the browser. It's possible Acrobat Reader no longer has that annoying behavior, but I've felt no need to change back to the default behavior. Do that and I think it will fix your crash problem. vampire13 __ Dennis Thanks Dennis and Paul for the tips. Dennis, I tried your suggestion in Reader preferences and while there, I noticed a connect speed dialogue under Internet which was set at 56K. I don't remember ever seeing that before. I reset it to LAN. I shut down and rebooted but find the problem still exists for me. Neither correction made a difference. The reader never appears, there is a delay of several seconds and Seamonkey crashes. I must be living under "Murphy's Law".

I use Foxit and it works great. Very cool site, btw. Thanks! You're welcome. My viewer is ADOBE Reader, latest version. I have no problem opening the PDF's if I save the link targets to my hard drive.

However; I did not try to go anywhere else in the site. SM 2.0.4 Mac OSX.4.11 PowerPC 17" 1.67GB Processor 2Gb RAM 80 GB left on 120GB Drive. I guess it's obvious then that something is not right in my Seamonkey installation. I have used the Mozilla browsers for years going way back to the 90's and have not had this kind of trouble. My Seamonkey 1.X's all performed very well and 2.0 was fine until I upgraded to 2.02. Since then, I crash on links associated with PDF files and on sites Like Tax Slayer when trying to access completed tax forms even though entering the data was not a problem. What annoys me is the need to use the dreaded IE8 to complete some projects. Hopefully, someone that knows the inside works of the browser can come up with a suggestion. I have revisited the links since my first post and the problem remains.
