Incidentally, I just clicked on the English (British) language pack, and Seamonkey told me (more uncopyable text : PLEASE make the contents of all textual content copyable) [blue jigsaw piece icon] Seamonkey prevented this site (www.sea-monkey-project.org) from asking you to install software on your computer. [Install software | V] Why would Seamonkey want to prevent its own reference site from asking me to install software on my computer. And why (unrelated question) does the pop-up warning me of these disappear as soon as I try to transcribe its contents into this Compose window even if both applications are running as non-overlapped windows ?

Recommendations for high-memory usage
Hi all I use Seamonkey. Both mail and the browser. My platform is Linux 32-bit. I leave my computer running constantly and the only time Seamonkey gets restarted is when it crashes or when it gets so slow that I just kill it and restart. I have a tenancy to run with maybe twenty windows, each with an average of five tabs each. Eventually, once or twice a week, Seamonkey just crashes or I kill it because it has frozen up or become so slow that I can not take it any more. I often find that the first symptom of over-usage is that drag-and drop of tabs and mail items stops working. Are there any recommendations for configuration options, environment, plugins to use/not-use, etc for my situation? I have gotten into the habit of bookmarking windows and their tabs and then opening then when I need them, but my usage of so many windows is legitimate and it slows down my work when I have to go searching the bookmarks list for the tabs I need to reference. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for me? Thanks in advance. -- # Jesse Molina # Mail = je...@opendreams.net # Page = page-je...@opendreams.net # Cell = 1.602.323.7608 # Web = http://www.opendreams.net/jesse/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

A few more things that I forgot to mention... I have been using Seamonkey since Netscape came in a box. I probably should start over with a new profile.

I often find that the first symptom of over-usage is that drag-and drop of tabs and mail items stops working. Are there any recommendations for configuration options, environment, plugins to use/not-use, etc for my situation? I have gotten into the habit of bookmarking windows and their tabs and then opening then when I need them, but my usage of so many windows is legitimate and it slows down my work when I have to go searching the bookmarks list for the tabs I need to reference. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for me? Thanks in advance. -- # Jesse Molina # Mail = je...@opendreams.net # Page = page-je...@opendreams.net # Cell = 1.602.323.7608 # Web = http://www.opendreams.net/jesse/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
