I know and didn't want to give offence. It is just that the small things are
now falling off the cliff because we are short on resources and everyone needs
to realize this.
Updates will also stay broken. Mozilla denied the project access to the update
server. We now need to set up our own and this will take time.

Am I missing something? No Webmaster? So, why advertise it?

Correct. I know about it and a few other cases too. I can spend time fixing
these or real bugs. Same for the other devs and maintainers.

I hope you understand I was just pointing out something I discovered that did
not work. Constructive critique to help is all.
I understand for years now the operation, dedication, and limits Mozilla Org
volunteers work under. I started using Mozilla browser as soon as it was
released; ver 0.98 or something? Beta?
I Understand Completely the problems and limits. I don't expect a fix for this
anytime soon, for the reasons you give. Priorities must be set, time is
limited to 32 hours a day! Maybe. And competent code volunteers able to help
are needed.
I just wondered if other users realized this bug existed. Or is my system
here, buggy once again? And made other comments, maybe wrong.
My access to the inet is extremely limited, and only recovered last fall after
20 months doing without. I now mooch inet wifi from a neighbor out here in the
Florida Everglades. Very limited service, outside.
But my Knowledge, Skill, Ability to code is not competent anymore. A young, or
at least a sharp mind, is required.
I am convinced however, that if the Seamonkey Browser w-Bookmarks, and maybe
the old Composer, were pulled from the Suite, and being a forked development -
continued, the problems that exist would subside. Problems that exist often
due to the "large scale integration"; the Suite with Mail, News, Address-book,
Chat; too much in one package.
Seamonkey Browser suffers enough trying to deal with all the varieties of code
from webpages. The plug-ins are proof. Past language problems another --
complicated by email and news.
I wish I were able to start a new fork to pull the Browser and run with it.
Firefox is not it! Seamonkey(since old Mozilla) is worthy, the only GUI
browser I can, most of the time, depend on. But I use Links2(as text and GUI),
and Dooble, as backup. Not a joke. Chromium nor related, Google nor Microsoft
anything, none are options for me.
As long as no people stepping forward and actively help out it will be a
dollar short a lot of times.
I Understand.
Checkout the website code at:
https://hg.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/seamonkey-project-org/
File a bug and add a patch.
Set a reviewer. You can add me if you want.
I will do as best I can. Probably not much nor soon.
Only filing a bug won't get it fixed btw.
I Understood. And Thanks for everything you and others do.
