Usually teh way this happens is the install grants itself permission. I then have deny it permission explicitly. I am not happy about teh way the firewall (ZoneAlarm) allows this. But I found a few days ago that FF got through and when I went to the appropriate page in the FireWall to reset it; it was not set! That is why the question arose. D.

Also don't forget to look at the user agent before posting any replies from this point forward. Personally, I don't think the OP is that stupid to not know whether they are asking a question about Firefox or not. As often as it is done, I also don't believe that identifying a version x,yz instead of x.y.z is a result of a typo, laziness maybe. Whatever program and version dustbin is using I hope the problem is resolved. -- SeaMonkey 2.5b2 on openSUSE 11.3 Linux ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
