Re: SeaMonkey cannot access a web site Chrome can.

On 1/26/2018 at 12:59 PM, Rob Steinmetz created this epitome of digital 
genius:
I have a remote site. The people at that site cannot access a internal 
website we use at another location. I have had the users clear their 
cache and try to access the site. Chrome on the same machines can access 
the site. They can ping the ip address.


I'm looking for a way to figure out what is causing SeaMonkey to not 
load the website.


Are the users getting any error message?  Any message at all? What 
happens when they try to go to the URL?

Please define "can't access." Do they get a DNS error, a 404 error, a 
SeaMonkey certificate error, a blank page, or what? I assume DNS is fine 
if Chrome can access it and they can ping it. But you need to give the 
experts here some clues to work with.

There's a variety of reasons that you could be having problems.  Proxy 
settings, as noted elsewhere, are potential, but I think unlikely.


You haven't mentioned whether you have any extensions installed. If you 
have something like one of the AdBlock variants, NoScript, etc., those 
could be causing problems.


In my own experience, absent problems with extensions, display issues 
tend to be profile-specific. Personally, I make extensive use of both 
AdBlock Plus, and NoScript, plus things like blocking of trackers and 
third-party cookies.  Thus, if I can't get whitelisting to work quickly, 
or have other quirks that cause display issues, I keep a second profile, 
where nearly all the settings are default. If switch to the second 
profile, I can't remember a time when I haven't gotten the display I 
would expect. That pretty clearly identifies my problem as something 
with my specific profile, rather a more general problem with Seamonkey.


The fastest troubleshooting tool is to go to Help -> Restart with 
Add-ons disabled.  That will reset your profile to mostly default 
preference settings, and disable all your extensions. And on occasion, 
I've found that a one-time use of Safe Mode is enough to clear problems. 
If problems persist when you go back to regular mode, then you need to 
start taking a look at your extensions. Try to isolate the extension 
that's having problems. Once you've found that, you want to disable (and 
perhaps try reinstalling the extension).

Maybe it is proxy settings.
