My opinion is that the webmaster have badly analyzed the sniffing result.
Anyway all the problem came from the fact that most people did not know
that seamonkey is a browser otherwise
the UA string: "SeaMonkey/2.40" would be perfect.


The server is the software that receives your browser's request for a
Web page and sends the result.  Often, there is confusion when "server"
is used to describe the hardware platform -- the "host" -- on which the
actual server operates.

The server may have a software component that sniffs the header fields
sent by the browser, which includes the UA string.  Based on how the
server's sniffing routines were developed and configured, different
files might be sent.  This often happens when a Web developer decides to
take advantage of the peculiarities -- idiosyncrasies -- of a particular
browser that does not exist in other browsers.  Sometimes, those
peculiarities are actually errors in how the browser

I'm having the same problem. New with 2.40. However, you can fix it on a
temporary (and very annoying basis), simply by dragging the bottom of
the selection window down. With that, you will be able to see and scroll
through the bookmark folders as before. Trouble is, it doesn't stick.
Next time you use "File Bookmark", you'll have to drag the window longer
again.

There is a bug open, but no idea when/if it will be fixed. Its very
annoying


Do you have the bug number? I can't find it from a quick search of
bugzilla. I was going to do something about filing one after this came
up a few weeks ago, but never got around to it.

This issue also seems to affect a few other dialogs, e.g. some pages of
the preferences.


It looks like #1249536 
 is the one, at 
least for the File Bookmark dialog. Ended up extending the search to 
include closed issues, which returned a duplicate (#1258608) pointing to 
this one.

Why undo it?  You'll have less problems online if you advertise FF
compatibility.


But, if sites work, due to my advertising FF compatibility, then I'll 
never know which ones I should bitch to about their faulty Browser sniffing!


Not that I can remember when a site I went to in SM didn't work 
properly!! Oh! Hang on. Today, I tried to run a video on Kickstarter in 
Full Screen mode didn't work. Maybe that was because I didn't have 
"advertising FF compatibility" enabled!!


But some Vimeo and Youtube pages *did* work in Full Screen (without 
"advertising FF compatibility" enabled)!!

I'm having the same problem. New with 2.40. However, you can fix it on a
temporary (and very annoying basis), simply by dragging the bottom of
the selection window down. With that, you will be able to see and scroll
through the bookmark folders as before. Trouble is, it doesn't stick.
Next time you use "File Bookmark", you'll have to drag the window longer
again.

There is a bug open, but no idea when/if it will be fixed. Its very
annoying


Do you have the bug number? I can't find it from a quick search of
bugzilla. I was going to do something about filing one after this came
up a few weeks ago, but never got around to it.

This issue also seems to affect a few other dialogs, e.g. some pages of
the preferences.



See bug #1261685 at
.


That looks like a complete breakage of Bookmarks Manager, not the dialog 
sizing problem here. Elsewhere in this thread Frank-Rainer Grahl 
mentioned that problem only ever existed in a development version for a 
few days, not in a released version.

If you click the button on the "Folder" line that is nearer to the edge
of the dialog box, you should see the whole folder list.  SeaMonkey
lately has a bug with that dialog box that prevents it from getting
longer to accommodate that folder list, however, so it required a little
patching to fix it.  I did that patching with my userChrome.css file.
In addition to the namespace line, which must be the first code there, I
added:

#bookmarkproperties {
min-height:830px !important;}


For my wide screen monitor I use
 min-width:770px !important; min-height:700px !important;}

In the New Bookmark dialog it has a line Folder:  with a button saying

I'm having the same problem. New with 2.40. However, you can fix it on a
temporary (and very annoying basis), simply by dragging the bottom of
the selection window down. With that, you will be able to see and scroll
through the bookmark folders as before. Trouble is, it doesn't stick.
Next time you use "File Bookmark", you'll have to drag the window longer
again.

There is a bug open, but no idea when/if it will be fixed. Its very
annoying

Paul.

Yeap!! Seems that even the smallest increase in the length of that 
screen makes the listing scroll-able  but then, when you close the 
screen, all is forgotten! ;-(


The first link in my Bookmarks Files' SeaMonkey sub-list points to 
Bugzilla 605786, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=605786 , 
which was closed by therube back on 16/03/2012 seems to have covered the 
same problem!

The mentioned bug has nothing to do with any current bookmark problems in 2.40. 
It 
was just a problem in 2.45a1 for a few days. A string got renamed by mozilla 
devs. 
The usual weekly Seamonkey which has been taken care of by Ratty:)

If you click the button on the "Folder" line that is nearer to the 
edge of the dialog box, you should see the whole folder list. 
SeaMonkey lately has a bug with that dialog box that prevents it from 
getting longer to accommodate that folder list, however, so it 
required a little patching to fix it.  I did that patching with my 
userChrome.css file.
In addition to the namespace line, which must be the first code there, 
I added:


#bookmarkproperties {
min-height:830px !important;}


Thanks for that. Works well (though 830px is excessive on my laptop). 
The problem was starting to irritate me quite a bit :)

I think BM are broken.


All Bookmarks functionality broken due to Toolkit Bug 1257599 which
renamed ‘Unsorted Bookmarks’ into ‘Other Bookmarks’


REF: 


Thank you, Walt, I do recall reading several posts, recently,
hereabouts on Bookmarks  just they didn't quite match my problem.
Maybe I need to broaden my references!! ;-)


Given what Walt posted, I doubt this will help any, but you might try
running 
through the thing that tries to convert Fx extensions for use in
SeaMonkey.

Thanks for the suggestion, Q, but it's no great problem  so I'll

This was caused by implementing bug #1261685, which merely furthered
making Firefox more like Chrome.  See
, where the
discussion indicated a concern about breaking the Bookmarks capability.
Apparently, that concern was not sufficiently taken into account.

This is one more example of the developers making a change that has
little substance but horrific consequences.  In the meantime, actual
bugs (errors, not enhancements) remain unfixed.

with an emphasis on journalism.  Somehow, engineering seems to
be more scientific than journalism.

Re: File->Bookmark broken??

[Ed Mullen]

On 4/18/2016 7:37 AM, Daniel's fingers rattled off:

Normally, when I file a Bookmark, I want to put it in a particular
Group/Sub-Folder, but, with this Windows version of SM 2.40, I'm having
troubles getting to particular Sub-Folders, e.g. somebody recently
posted a link to http://info.cern.ch/ with a claim that it was the first
*ever* website, so I thought I'd save the link in my "General"
Sub-Folder of my Bookmarks.

Previously, a sub-screen would open showing my Bookmarks file structure
and I would just select the Sub-Folder that I wanted the new Bookmark
saved to, then click "O.K." and ... job done.

Now, I think, when I click on Bookmarks->File Bookmark, I am taken to a
"New Bookmark" screen, which allows me to add bits and pieces about the
new bookmark, but doesn't allow me to select the particular sub-folder
that I want the Bookmark saved to  unless it happens to be one of
the half dozen or so listed on the "Folder:" drop-down of the
sub-screen. Where this list comes from, I don't know ... unless it is a
listing of the sub-folders to which I may have previously filed
bookmarks directly to.

Have I started doing something wrong?? How do I get back to the old
situation where I could file a bookmark to any of the forty or more
sub-folders in my Bookmarks Folder??

(Lately, any bookmarks I save are just being added to the bottom of the
Bookmarks drop-down! :-(  )



In the New Bookmark dialog it has a line Folder:  with a button saying 
Bookmarks Menu.  Click the down arrow to the right.  Click on "Choose." 
 Choose your folder and click "Save."

Given what Walt posted, I doubt this will help any, but you might try
running 
through the thing that tries to convert Fx extensions for use in
SeaMonkey.
