I guess I'm still confused... just switch back to SeaMonkey 1.1.19 to reply. The _only_ thing that I've done to install is to extract the seamonkey-1.1.19.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz to a home folder (/home/seamonkey119) and run it from there: /home/<username>/seamonkey119/./seamonkey -no-remote -mail -browser This version has the following working (just fine): java, flash, prefbar, xsidebar, browser, chatzilla, mail, news. All of my profile & plugins are in ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla/plugins. Am I missing something obvious?
