I should have added that you will probably need to add those yourself. On the about:config page, right-click >> New >> Boolean > Could they possible have been added by one of your added extensions, Ralph?? No, they were not added by one of my extensions. But speaking of extensions, another answer for the OP was said to be the "Launchy" extension. I have not used Launchy myself, but I understand it let you right-click on the URL and choose whether to open it in Firefox. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/seamonkey/addon/launchy/ Unfortunately Launchy only seems to be available for SM up to version 2.17a1. -- Kind regards Ralph _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
