Just wanted to comment further that your site should explain all this. Many of us will NOT be upgrading SM, or any other browser, for a variety of reasons. (1) I refuse to use a browser that will automatically play embedded video (althugh I suppose I can disable it about:config but why not just use a better browser version that avoids the crap)? I don't think currently that the proxomitron will stop this but I am sure we will have a filter when this becomes widespread (as we have long had a toggle switch for Flash so 99.9% of Flash is never played and certainly never any with ads). HTML5 is poised to become even more vicious and nasty than Flash ever was. (2) I just looked into upgrading 2.6 SM to 2.8. I will not do so because my extensions will not work. My extensions working is far more important than what version of SM I use. Besides, the ONLY reason I started using SM again was because it did not seem to be going insane like Fx with constant updates. But now I have Fx 10 Enterprise (on a guest machine) and will stay with it probably long beyond the official year. I didn't upgrade from Fx 1.5 until March 2011 on the host and still use Fx 4 on my host machine. Not everyone blindly believes the "latest is the greatest". > -- > Chris Ilias <http://ilias.ca> > Newsgroup moderator _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
