Are the other PC's running the same version of SM?

I had a facebook override in about:config. Deleted it and facebook is 
now normal.


What was the key name? I don't see it in my about:config

I use Facebook Purity (FBP) and the display of the pages in FB is due to 
an algorithm FB changed. The FBP site also offers a temp workaround on 
their revertsite.com. BUT - it does not always work for everyone and it 
will stop working for you after a certain amount of time.


I have tried in Firefox and Chrome and the new Edge. FB made the changes 
unilaterally and I don't see the functionality coming back. As it is 
(for me), I do not like th epush to make things look like the mobile 
app. I like the customization FBP gave me in controlling what I WANTED 
to see and not what Zuck wanted us to see.

It's as though SM is boot looping the retrieve process and not seeing

A question regarding junk mail

[Zeb Carter via support-seamonkey]

I receive email from pensacon.com (sci fi convention is Pensacola, FL). 
Seamonkey thinks it's a scam or junk mail even though I do have the 
address in my addressbook (newslet...@pensacon.com). How do I get SM to 
stop flagging it? I hit the ignore warning button each time but I can 
get another one the next day and it gets flagged.

Now that it has been reproduced, after clearing caches, making sure

Using the URL supplied, to the left is the XFINITY label, then a search

A login in not required.

Type your keyword(s) in the box and then you will see web, TV & movies,

Two things to look for:

1) In a composition window, pull down the View menu to Show/Hide
and see
if the corresponding boxes are checked:
[✓] Menu Bar
[✓] Mail Toolbar
[✓] Status Bar
If they aren't, check the boxes to enable them.

2) If that doesn't solve it, look along the left edge of the screen
next
to the "From:" line and you'll see a speckled vertical bar with a
downward pointing triangle. Follow it with your eye to the bottom,
just
under "Subject:" and above the message body, and you'll see one or
more
horizontal versions of the same thing. Click each of them to reveal
the
corresponding toolbar.


I know about the grippies on the left side of the boxes. The only
grippies visible correspond to the areas I mentioned. I've even tried
resizing the screen but that doesn't do anything either.

I'm thinking there might be something in chrome or userprefs.js perhaps
that got screwed up.


So you're saying step 1) above was not helpful either?


That's one of the things I checked for right off the bat.

That's an interesting one!

Looks like somebody removed the check marks for the Menu Bar and Mail
Toolbar. Like I just did to try and reproduce the problem.

Now that I have reproduced the problem, I can't find a spot anywhere in
the composition window to bring those back. There are no grippies, right
clicking in the Header bar doesn't bring up the customize window.

Looks like we both have broken SeaMonkey's now.

A new profile should fix it.

This post originally typed in SeaMonkey, but with no Send button, well
you know I couldn't send it. Probably a key command for that.

I appreciate the help and knowing that the problem was duplicated, now I 
can see if a new profile will fix it. I will report back.

Upgrading from 2.26.1

[Zeb Carter]

I haven't upgraded yet due to concerns regarding some problems with 
2.29/2.30.


The primary reason why I haven't upgraded was the breakage of viewing 
images in binary newsgroups in the later versions.


I haven't seen any indication that this has been fixed n 2.32. Can 
anyone confirm this is fixed?


And yes, I know running an outdated browser has certain security issues.

Thank you SeaMonkey team!  One seriously annoying bug fixed.  Still,
after several months, the Chase (and also the BofA) sites still have

not give you the best experience when you're on Chase.com.
We recommend that you use any of the following browsers: Internet
Explorer 8 or higher, Firefox 25 or higher, Safari 6.0 or higher, and
Chrome 31 or higher.

I wish there were some easy way to alter the user-agent line to
preference the Firefox version, since asking the banks to accept
SeaMonkey as a valid browser over and over gets nowhere.



That is why I copied the FireFox user agent string and added it to
PrefBar as an additional user agent.  I now tend to leave this set as my
user agent string to avoid this very idiotic message there and
elsewhere.


Could you specify exactly how you added the FireFox user-agent string to
the PrefBar.  For somebody who is tech stupid, that is.  There used to
be a way in the Tools menu to manage the user-agent.  That hasn't been
around for a while.


It has been a while since I did so, but I believe it was relatively
simple.  Hit the Customize button on your PrefBar toolbar.  That
should open a new window of available and enabled items.  Right-click on
the User Agent entry under enabled items and select Edit from the
pop-up menu.  Open FireFox and access the troubleshooting information
either via menus or about:support so you will have access to the User
Agent string.  Hit the + button on the user agent edit window from
PrefBar to obtain a new entry in the table.  Copy/Paste the FireFox
string into the blank Value field and label it as you like. Optionally
you can re-order the user agent strings and the hit the OK button to
save the changes.

Dave



To add to this, go to http://www.useragentstring.com/

You can cut and paste any of the user agent strings to spoof other browsers.

Re: password manager

Windows7, SM 2.24.

I was happily memorizing usernames and passwords with SeaMonkey.

I have F-Secure Internet Security.  They sent me an email saying they
had a new free product (F-Secure Key) that they said would store my
passwords in encrypted form.  I misread it to say that it would also
store data (I've been looking for a way to store my credit card
information securely)  So I installed it.  Alas, it only stores
passwords and user names, and has some language problems (it kept
requesting my bank password, I entered what I and my bank call my
password, but it was rejected.  Eventually, I realized they wanted my
PIN, bur only after being locked out of my bank.  Due to too many
similar problems, I uninstalled F-Secure Key.

Unfortunately, when I had installed it, it had apparently turned of the
password manager capture feature, so now when I go to a new site that
needs a password, SeaMonkey doesn't ask if I want to memorize the
password, and doesn't memorize it.

Is there an easy way to turn this feature back on, or should I just
reinstall SeaMonkey?

4.  Depending on the ZIP application, open the install.rdf file in a

5.  Near the bottom of the install.rdf file, under the line that is
!-- Mozilla SeaMonkey --
change the line
em:maxVersion2.1b1/em:maxVersion

em:maxVersion2.20/em:maxVersion

6.  Use the Save capability of the editor.

7.  Close the ZIP application.  If it asks about saving install.rdf, the
answer is yes.

The extension can then be installed from the local XPI file on your PC.

SeaMonkey is working for thousands and thousands of people, but not for Ed, is 
there a light bulb flashing over your head yet.

This threads a mess how can anyone follow it. PLEASE do try other Email 
programs and when they fail come back with a cooler head.

If you go back upthread, I also mentioned a hang when downloading 
headers in certain binary newsgroups - particularly if there's several 
thousand to get. The only solution that has worked was to delete the 
associated .msf file. Over time, this file grows in size and that I

I think that that (4GB) may be a magic number.


Especially if it's a Windows PC and the drive is formatted FAT32.

Machine in question is a Windows 7 machine - defintely NTFS. Per the 
original msg, I moved the messages from the default SENT folder to the 
one under LOCAL folders, pointed the system to that folder and the sent 
messages go there as they should.


With an empty SENT folder under the default account, sent messages 
appear and then disappear after closing Seamonkey and reopening SM.


Very strange behavior!

Some problems regarding SENT folder in 2.0.11

[Zeb Carter]

I provide tech support to a customer/friend of mine. He called me about 
a problem he was having with the SENT folder under his profile. 
Actually, there are 4 issues happening:


1) On entry to the mail/news side, he gets a notification saying summary 
file being rebuilt for this folder


2) Sent messages appear in the folder but on exiting the program, and 
going back in, the message no longer appears.


3) Compacting the folder does not seem to work (file size is roughly 4GB).

4) Cannot delete or rename the folder in an effort to recreate it.

What I have tried - deleting the .msf for that folder (still does a 
rebuild on reentry to program after being closed/exited). I do have a 
work around in place using a SENT folder as the repository under LOCAL 
FOLDERS. Newly sent messages do stay put and it did compact properly but 
I did not check final file size.


Any ideas or suggestions on a fix or wait for 2.0.12 for a fix?

Thanks in advance!!

I just did that. but I used Moz Backup. It was very easy to use and got
everything - passwords, bookmarks, emails!


from the support page of mozbackup :

Can I use MozBackup for synchronization between two PCs?
I don't think this is a good idea. If you use Firefox try Firefox Sync
which is better for such task. If you use Thunderbird try to think about
having your mails on server and access to them via IMAP protocol.
Familiar solution you can have for contacts.

I think mozbackup not enough documented


I got the impression that the OP was not trying to sync his new machine 
to the old, just that he wanted the same bookmarks, email settings, 
theme, etc. Sure you could do that stuff manually but why do that if 
there is a tool available like MozBackup?

Update to the problem Re: Moving profiles from XP to Win7

[Zeb Carter]

Zeb Carter wrote:

I am in the process of setting up a new computer for a friend of mine -
old computer running XP Home, new computer Win 7. Both have SM 2.0.8.

I have created duplicate named profiles on the win 7 machine to match
the XP machine. Working from a cloned copy of the XP drive, I have tried
to copy the contents of the XP machine's profiles to their corresponding
counterparts on the Win 7 system. Files are there but SM does not see
the information there. In fact, of the 6 profiles, only one is actually
working.

When I try and open the new profiles, I get the dialogue asking me to
create the new mail/news/RSS account(s).

What am I doing wrong? I've copied the appropriate files into the proper
locations but something is not working.

Thanks in advance!


Things are not going well. After having tried copying to the appropriate 
folders, deleting the .msf files, using MozBackup, creating new profiles 
and copying to them, things are still not working as they should.


I still cannot see old mail in the inbox but did manage to get old sent 
mail working.


Help!! Please.

When I do this, I first close SeaMonkey on the old computer, and copy
the entire profile folder (e.g. salt.profilename) to the new computer.
Then I use the profile manager on the new computer to create a new
profile with the same profile name and use Choose Folder to navigate
to the copied profile.

The profile manager is smart enough to realize that it should use the
existing profile in that location, rather than creating a new profile in
that location.


I tried that today. I copied the profiles straight from the cloned drive
to the appropriate folder in Win 7. Started SM, told it to create a new
profile with the name of the profile I ad copied - SM created NEW
profiles with the same name but a different random number sequence in
front of the name.


SM doesn't need to have the random number sequence in the profiles
location, I think it a bit of a security measure.

With-in SM, go to Tools-Switch Profiles-Manage Profiles-Create
Profile, give it a distinctive name, then on that screen click on
Choose Folder, and find where you saved the old profiles location then
select one level above that, so that the profile is a sub-folder of
where you tell SM to look.

i.e. If your profile files are in the directory
C:\Personal\Internet\old_one\profile location, you would tell SM to look
in C:\Personal\Internet\old_one

HTH

I'll try that. Is Moz Backup a good alternative to exporting and 
importing profiles between 2 PCs? Also, I can't seem to find the command 
line switches to use the migration wizard. I really do appreciate all 
the help folks!

It's been a while since I have had to do it but my HD crashed and I am 
recreating my USENET lists. I want to show the full title in stead of 
the abbreviated name of the newsgroup.


I know I can do it in about:config but haven't stumbled on the right
