flyguy, when you think about it, SeaMonkey is just one program, so when in the "Mail & News" 
screen, you click on a link another part of the one program starts up to display that screen!!


However, there used to be a preference which you could change so that, when you clicked a link 
in the "Mail & News" screen, the link would show in your chosen Browser.


Unfortunately, I think that preference has been removed/disabled. ;-(

But, that raises the question, flyguy  If the email part of SeaMonkey is based on 
Thunderbird and you want to use Chrome as your browser, why are you sticking with SeaMonkey and 
not switching to Thunderbird for your email??
I'm happy with SM email, so I'm avoiding the hassle of setting up a new email program. If it 
causes me problems in the future, I'll take a look at Thunderbird. So far, no problems, unlike 
the SM browser, which has had increasing problems with sites over the last couple of years that 
Chrome handles well. My wife hates SM with Facebook, like Chrome with Facebook, and that's what 
began our transition to Chrome. Chrome also seems to work easier and smoother; eg, auto updates.

This is a long-standing (but not quite as long as your use of the program, even if that can't 
be longer than 1.5 decades) "feature":



Perhaps try this, which is the closest to a fix I've heard about:

I started with Netscape and continued all the way to Seamonkey 2.53.4 so "decades" in that 
sense ;^)

Hi flyguy,
If you click on a link in SeaMonkey mail and newsgroups, it will open in the SeaMonkey browser, 
regardless of what your system default is set to. SeaMonkey is hard-coded to do that.

I think you would need to change some settings in about:config for 
network protocol external handlers.  I am not certain about which ones 
would be essential for that.  Possibly:


network.protocol-handler.external.ps -> true
network.protocol-handler.external.tps -> true
network.protocol-handler.external.ttp -> true
network.protocol-handler.external.ttps -> true

You would need to experiment to see which are needed.

I'm sure you'll be careful!

I did come late to the SeaMonkey game and don't know much about design 
choices but untangling the components is one of the very low low 
priority items on any list. It is an integrated suite not a mailer or 
standalone browser. Would need an internal redesign to allow the 
components to work independently and rest assured this will not happen 
soon or ever with the current developer resource shortage.


It could be useful to run the SM suite browser and mail/news in separate 
processes so that (a) when the browser is inevitably crashed by some web 
garbage email isn't affected (b) in the 32-bit world using a lot of 
browser tabs wouldn't affect the virtual memory available to mail/news 
(c) the two components could have different UI and extension 
customisations: like Opera's Hugin/Munin 
 of long ago.


To bring some certainty to this debate, I created a command script that 
displays its parameters in a dialog box (Linux LXLE 16.04, thanks Ronnie):


#!/bin/sh
exec zenity --info --title " Test Browser" --text "$(printf "%-40s" "$*")"

I installed the "standalone-seamonkey-mail" extension referenced in the 
thread above by myself and another contributor 
 
and set the script as my "external browser".


With this configuration in SM 2.49.5, clicking a link in message 
launches the script, solving the OP's problem without any additional 
development effort, as well as opening the way to a two process 
configuration as above.


Perhaps someone could try it with 2.53? Or a similar test in some 
version of Windows or OSX?

... which is why you can restore the option with an extension, as posted 
above. Or FFS just use Thunderbird?

Look at the second page where the "Standalone SeaMonkey Mail"

is discussed. It definitely solved your problem 7 years ago.

There isn't one.

ChrisI, I remember that there was a (mail or mailnews) Pref that could 
be changed, by going into about:config and changing that pref so that 
any link in Mail/News that was clicked on would cause SM (or was it 
Moz Suite or even Netscape Suite) to not use its browser to display 
the web site but would, instead, cause the System's Default Browser to 
open, displaying the appropriate web page.


Do you recall this happening?? Do any of the SM Devs recall this 
happening??

Well, Netscape, and then the Mozilla Suite which became SeaMonkey, were 
conceived as integrated internet packages. "Thanks" to j...@jwz.org, HTML 
rendering became part of email processing and having the browser and 
email in one program made this practical on machines of the day.


The browser and mail/news components were broken out as Firefox (etc) 
and Thunderbird: Thunderbird can and does ask the OS which browser to 
use for external URLs. You could install Firefox and Thunderbird, or 
indeed Chrome and Thunderbird, and have the OS default browser selection 
respected. By choosing SeaMonkey, you are effectively saying that you 
don't want that. If SM mail/news works for you and Thunderbird doesn't, 
you have to adapt SM to work as a stand-alone mail/news program, as below.



...>

The text in the permissions warning makes me hold back:

"Please note this add-on uses legacy technology, which gives it access 
to all browser functions and data without requesting your permission."


That just means it's a traditional add-on rather than a WebExtension, I 
think, which is unsurprising since it's intended for SM 2.19 - 2.49.*. 
Anyhow a quick scan of the code confirms that there are no unwanted 
features.


If you look at the postings from Chris Ilias in this thread, 
Seamonkey/Mail has been hardwired to use Seamonkey/Browser since the 
release of version 2.0.

If this is the case, Chris would know.


That's why you need an extension to bypass the internal "wiring", which 
in the standalone-seamonkey-mail extension looks like this:

...
  if (winType == "mail:messageWindow" || winType == "mail:3pane") {

window.addEventListener("click", mailClickListener, true);

...
function mailClickListener(e) {

  var loadInExt = e.button == 0 || (e.button == 1 && 
getBoolPref("extensions.standaloneMail.middleClick"));




  if (!loadInExt) {

return;

  }



  var window = e.target.ownerDocument.defaultView;

  launchExternalBrowserFromElement(window, e);

}

...

Nonetheless, did you try the advice that I linked yesterday?

Look at the second page where the "Standalone SeaMonkey Mail" extension 
 
is discussed. It definitely solved your problem 7 years ago.

A couple of things to try:
1) In SM: edit/prefs/browser/helper apps:  change html open with to Chrome.


the only thing I found there is Adobe text/html changed it into Chrome. 
No fix.


There is no way in that menu I can change general hmtl to be opened with 
Chrome.





2) In windows registry: change htm and html open with to Chrome.



I don't mess with that.

If you click on a link in SeaMonkey mail and newsgroups, it will open in
the SeaMonkey browser, regardless of what your system default is set to.
SeaMonkey is hard-coded to do that.


Interesting!
Thanks Chris.

This is not interesting, this an abuse ...
SM will not appreciate if other programs work with the same philosophy 
"I AM THE BEST" is not a normal attitude  :-(
because rendering web pages are very often well done by FireFox instead 
of SM.

But there's a tweak that's been discussed here to have the system use a 
different browser even when the page is called from SM. Don't you 
remember what that was? (I don't...)


Ah! Found it!



Is that still valid seven years later?

Remove programs --- SEAMONKEY.
Install SeaMonkey and when it will ask to be the default browser .. 
ignore this request.

So yeah, maybe I should give Thunderbird another shot, especially since 
I leave all mails on the server these days anyway.


David, re: the size of your inbox, when you move/delete an e-mail from 
your inbox, it is not really moved/deleted, it is simply marked as 
moved/deleted. The inbox can be cleaned up by File->Empty Trash then 
File->Compact File.


As for using another Browser while using SeaMonkey for your e-mail, this 
was certainly possible (in SeaMonkey or was it Mozilla Suite??) by 
changing one of the preferences of SeaMonkey, but I'm unable to recall 
which pref.

I am not sure about Linux since I use Windows.  However, what you
experience is what I would get if the link began with "mailto:; instead
of "HTTP://" or "HTTPS://".

With Windows, I had to set the default in two places for "mailto:; to
use Thunderbird.  I had to set it in Windows' Default Programs, and I
had to set a preference variable in SeaMonkey.  It might be possible
that you have to do something similar -- two different settings -- for
"HTTP://" and "HTTPS://" in your Linux setup.

SOLVED: Making Seamonkey the default browser in Ubuntu

[Cruz, Jaime]

FINALLY got my question answered (I asked it about two years ago here 
and never got a valid answer).  The partial solution is in this link:


http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2234277

What's missing is that after you've updated the 
seamonkey-mozilla-build.desktop file, you have to somehow force the mime 
relationships to be rebuilt.  The OP of that thread said he rebooted 
several times and it magically showed up, but that's not it.


Somehow you have to force the mime-relationships to be rebuilt. I 
discovered it by accident when I uninstalled LibreOffice 4.2.5 so I 
could install LibreOffice 4.3.0.  Once the installation was complete, 
Seamonkey magically showed up as a choice in the System Settings 
Default Applications tool.


I wonder if there is a command that could force the rebuild of those 
relationships?  Also, maybe Daniel Folkenshteyn (sp?) could update his 
Ubuntuzilla scripts to take care of this automatically?

I had the same issue... depending on what version of Windows you are 
using, you can go to Control Panel  Default Programs  then click Set 
Your Default Programs, and choose SeaMonkey as your default browser and 
email.

It's not because you go online that any browser should start.

To test if SeaMonkey is your default browser:

- Under notepad create a file containing:
html
body
This is a very short html page
/body
/html


- Save this file with the name: shortest.htm  into (per example) the 
directory C:/ALLDATA/


- Go under windows explorer, find this file and double-click on it.

Then, if SeaMonkey start showing This is a very short html page BINGO 
! SeaMonkey is your default browser.

You really need to give more information:

What is your platform (e.g., PC, Mac, IPad)

What is your operating system, including version?

What version of SeaMonkey are you using?

Besides the addtional information requested in my other reply, I need to
understand more clearly your problem:  Are you expecting SeaMonkey to
launch as soon as you establish a connection to the Internet?  If so,
that will NOT happen.

I do not know of any browser that automatically launches merely because
an Internet connection exists.  Indeed, I often use SeaMonkey without
any Internet connection, to view changes to my Web site before I upload
the HTML files.

Agreed.  What does initially go online even mean?
How are you /doing/ that?

Back in my dial-up days, I seem to remember launching Netscape 4.7 and 
then IT told the modem to dial-up.  Not vice versa.

Re: Make Firefox default browser for SeaMonkey Mail?

[Grant Hogarth]

Jim---
   As far as *I've* been able to determine, the answer is NO (at 
least on Windows 7).
SeaMonkey does not appear to care what you have set as your default 
browser (I've tried FF, Chrome, and IE), and will only open its own 
idiosyncratic browser.


I've resigned myself to this sub-optimal behavior.

I've looked at Thunderbird many times but I have yet to figure out how to

great for this - can easily insert a dozen addresses pulled from a number of

TB 3.x removed the rebuild found broken indexes upon search encountering a broken index. Thus there is no way with TB 3.x code to per-account check for corrupted index files. And with 1500+ mail 
folders, I am NOT manually rebuilding all indexes!!!


Message filters may be stuffing mail into a folder with corrupted index. The 
folder will not light up as the index is corrupted. No visual indication where 
the new message ended up.

Current SM retains the TB 2.0.x logic that will rebuild the index on-the-fly 
when a Search operation finds a corrupted one. I think of it as ChkDsk /f for 
Mozilla Mail.

There has been considerable damage done to the Thunderbird product, such that

Thus the outcome I see as the configuration of choice at the present time is 
Firefox + SeaMonkey.

Yes it is. I switched from Thunderbird 2.0.x to SeaMonkey a few years ago, yet 
wanted to retain Firefox as my primary browser.

That is obtained via a SeaMonkey extension named Launchy.

http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy.html

So it will not be the link browse or what not, it will be on its own Launchy

I installed Launchy in SeaMonkey, but unfortunately, links in SeaMonkey
mail still open the SeaMonkey browser instead of Firefox, which is my

menu; is this a toolbar? Where would I find the Launchy menu? Also
the options window for the Launchy extension under "Launchy knows about
the following applications," Mozilla Firefox is listed but not enabled;
it is inactive and provides no means of enabling it. By the way, I
installed Launchy in Firefox as well, and the behavior of the options
window is the same. Please advise.

Jim,
As long as you have Launchy installed, you'll see the menu item when you 
right click a link in any email. I have it installed and it is working 
just fine since I don't want to default all clicks to open another 
browser other than SM, just some.


However, you will have to create a launchy.xml file and place it in your 
profile directory, and have it there prior to opening SM.


Here is a link to automatically create the file you need.

 http://gemal.dk/mozilla/launchy-xmlfile.html

And if you are only wanting to add Firefox to the menu since, like you 
mentioned, it is not enabled, copy the attached file to


C:\Documents and Settings\
YOUR USER NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\chrome

It's the file I created to add Firefox to the Launchy menu.

I hope it helps.

Thanks, but I want to un-default Mozilla.  I'm going back to IE8.  I've

Well, I'm not quite sure of what you mean here, but...

If you don't want to click on a link in a message in Mozilla 1.78 Mail
and the site to be opened on the Mozilla 1.78 browser, I think you are
out of luck. While I remember some talk about an obscure setting to make
Seamonkey open links in mail on an external browser, this old version

Anyway, Mozilla 1.7.8 is quite an old product, I believe about six years

both in features and security. You really should consider moving to a
newer product.

If you use only the mail and newsgroup parts of Mozilla/Seamonkey, you

Sounds curious, the default browser is set in the Windows registry and not in
any browser. Either IE8 doesn't have enough rights or you might need to restart 
after changing or ...


Start regedit and search for Mozilla, then clear the entry. Windows will then 
ask for it when you start IE8.

Q: How to select Firefox as the default browser in SM emails

[Michael Lueck]

Greetings:

How can I specify that I want Firefox to be launched when I click on URL links 
in SM emails?

Thanks!

I presume this would occur if Foxy was the default browser, 
not IE or any other.

Michael, if you are using SM as your mail agent, it is my understanding 
that you *must* use SM Browser to open any URLs


After all, it's all the one program, mail  browser

Why would you want to open URLs in any other Browser program?

Hm. Begs the question then, why would you use SeaMonkey for mail/news
and not Thunderbird?

Good question.

I am just fine using the latest Firefox, however I was stuck at TB 2.0.0.24 
prior to migrating to SM.

For now, I am training myself to copy the URL instead of clicking the link, 
then paste it into a FF window. A bit annoying...

Sincerely,
