SM works fine with PDFs for others, and you did a clean install after uninstalling 2.03, so I don't think the program itself is at fault. I'd bet on some sort of corruption in your profile, and I'd create a new one to test it. Modify the shortcut that starts SM 2.04, byt right-clicking and choosing Properties. (This is what I do in XP. I'm assuming Win7 hasn't changed that.) In the Target box in Properties, add "-p" to the end of the line that runs SM. Save and close. Now start SM from the shortcut. Passing -p on the command line opens SM in ProfileManager mode. From here you can create a new profile. Give it whatever name you like. Clicking on "Choose folder" will also let to specify where the profile folder will be created. I have multiple Mozilla products installed, with multiple profiles, so I created a \Mozilla directory where everything lives, like \Mozilla \Bookmanrks \Extensions \Install files \Plugins \Profiles \Firefox \SeaMonkey \1.0 \2.0 \Dennis McCunney \Thunderbird etc. and create profiles under the \Mozilla\Profiles hierarchy. After you create the new profile, you can use the ProfileManager entry to start SM using it. See if you have the same issues with SM crashing when you try to view a PDF. > Ed __ Dennis ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

This has been true for 2.0.3 and 2.0.4 in my case. It seems to be true for links connecting to PDF files. IE8 connects without difficulty. My OS is Windows 7 with 8 GB memory and ample disk space. I just did a clean install of 2.0.4 after uninstalling 2.0.3 but the problem remains. BTW, I can usually right click and save the link target with no problem but, clicking to connect crashes Seamonkey. Any suggestions?? vampire13 I went to the exact link shown, and It did not crash. 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. Thanks, vampire13 Now that I've pasted the extra bit to the link onto the link, I was able to download the PDF instructions, no problems. Then I tried it without adding the extra bit, and was still able to get to the PDF. WFM!

Any suggestions?? vampire13 That part of your link that is a link (i.e. the bit in blue, up to the =hpn_1896), works for me! Linux, SM 2.0.4 Or are you just trying to advertise the film?? 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!
