By the way, <http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases> works okay for me accessing it using SeaMonkey 2.46. It is possible that the Firefox developers have implemented another unrealistic "safety" feature that fails to recognize real-world use of the Web. This is an excellent reason why you really want to switch to SeaMonkey. Try using Internet Explorer to download it. -- David E.
