Start Seamonkey 2.33.1 in safe mode with addons disabled. mega.co.nz Error: "Sorry, we were unable to initialize the browser's local storage, either you're using an outdated browser or it's something from our side. If you think it's our fault, please report the issue back to us. Reason: localStorage is null Browser: mozilla/5.0 (x11; linux x86_64; rv:36.0) gecko/20100101 firefox/36.0 seamonkey/2.33.1" The current version of Firefox (38.0.5) loads the page without error. Seamonkey 2.38a1 loads the page perfectly (See Rinaldi's post on 6/18) so I assume that this is part of current development effort. I contacted Mega (since they asked so nicely in the error message) and in their reply, they asked me to "...check whether SeaMonkey disables localStorage by default? Open the JavaScript console and type localStorage.length If you get 0 as a result, it is enabled, and the bug is on our side. If you get an error, it is disabled, an the error is with SeaMonkey. Thanks also for your w3.org validator link, we will fix those errors soon." Using Tools - Web Development - Error Console, I typed in localStorage.length and I get an error message "TypeError: localStorage is null" exactly as Mega reports in their error message. Thanks again for your help. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
