So that You would setup Safari and decide Oh I like that and forget about setting up otherwise same with Mail. It originally a Marketing Ploy.

Yeah, Safari is built into a Mac in much the same way IE is built into Windows. The OS isn't quite as dependent on it, but it is always there. I never tried to remove it, no real need to, but I am kind of curious as to what would happen if i did. The only Safaris I have ever actually installed have been beta test builds.

Yes, but because Seamonkey is an integrated suite the Mail.app setting won't affect it unless you set SM to launch Mail/News only at start up. At least that's been my experience. SM doesn't even show up in the Mail.app drop-down as a default choice - you have to navigate to it to select it. -- - Rufus ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
Re: Trouble with making Seamonkey my default browser
Jeffrey Needle avait énoncé : I'm using SM Portable version. I've used an app called SetBrowser that assigns the executable in my Portable folder to be the default browser. But when I start SM, it keeps asking me if I want SM to be my default browser. In my about:config file I see the following line: browser.shell.checkDefaultBrowser;false Shouldn't this disable the checking to see if SM is the default browser? Having to close the set default window every time I start SM is pretty annoying. Thanks. In that same panel, you get normally also the question 'do you want to see this questen every time' or someting the like. Answer 'no'. -- [URL=http://users.kbc.skynet.be/fi001005] *Belgische Ardennen - Ardennes Belge [/URL] ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
