Re: What happened to the form manager
another man's useless bloat. You need a Form Manager, and this extension gives you an excellent one wow! - I'm tempting to comment that something else is bloated here BUT in all fairness to L Jones, whatever the feature, if you don't/didn't use it your appreciation/value of it probably wasn't much. And no this new (its firefox's idea of a form manger) ISN'T an excellent one by comparison. Those who use parts that have been with all along foolishly expected the community to maintain them, not decide a function or whatever wasn't to continue. There parts of Netscape that I've never used, probably never will, but you'll find no complaint here over the last 12 years of bloat. Give us back forms manager - AND let the community have a say if someone decides to kick something else to the curb.

For someone who does not need one, he gets a leaner product. For me, the greatest problem with 1.x SeaMonkey was the lack of any systematic way of controlling extensions. Jeremy Gillick helped with the Extension Manager extension, Phillip Chee helped even more with xSidebar, but even so, trying to manage extensions and themes was a mess. Now its easy.

The way you describe it working is kind of bizarre. Can you go step by step and tell us how you are trying to invoke the Form History Controls, and where it goes wrong. I get nothing like a blank page, and nothing like a home button. The problem I explained happened after the install. I go get the extension. I let it install. I had it restart SM to finish install. I then went to Browser (I usually have browser turn off when I first boot up , I have it open into the Mail news groups. If I need the browser I go to window menu, and choose Browser my ISP Home page shows up.) Any way after the install the menubar (back, Forward, Stop; etc.) was there but the window that shows the actual web page was totally empty. As an example,on my start page, there is a Map Quest directions form that I use a lot. When I am on that page, I click ToolsForm HistoryForm History Control. In the resulting dialog, I see all the fomr history saved in SeaMonkey. I can click a radio button, and see just the form history for that page. I quickly saw one typo, where I had typed West Cormwall, instead of West Cornwall, and I was able to remove the entry easily. It also had all my search queries saved, making it very easy to remove duplicate searches, or again, those with typos. Its a great extension, and adds more then the tool it replaces. Lets get it working for you. It does work as it should once I got the bug stopped. Lee What web page are

In the particular page that you have information typed got to view menu Page info click on forms tab. Once its in there if you typed the information wrong its there forever. On the old forms manager you could actually go to each item and fix mistakes such as typing your address wrong or your cell phone has changed. Bad form. someone had a brain Freeze when the though up this new system. It good eye candy. but without editing ability at best its useless.
