Right now, as I write this, I am on a Windows 7 system using 2.49.1
SeaMonkey.
I bought a Dell "All-In-One" compuker with the latest Windows 10
running (Uggg!) and loaded
SeaMonkey 2.49.5.
Can I COPY my E-Mail, Bookmarks, Passwords, etc from this machine
to the newer one ?
It has been YEARS since I did such a thing and I don't remember
how.....
Things are changing so fast !
DoctorBill
I bought a used DELL "All-In-One" compuker with Windows 10 installed
(Business Office Machine) and updated to the latest version.
I must say - after having it for about two weeks or so, I LIKE IT !
Windows 10 that is....... Took some getting used to, but it is
great !
I still have an OLD LENOVO 8922-5WU LapTop with Windows XP on it and
my old HP G60 LapTop with Windows 7 on it............ FOR older
GAMES mostly.
I turned "Automatic Update" OFF on both so that MicroSoft can't
"Kill" the older versions if they ever somehow get connected to the
Internet.
Been told that MicroSoft will eventually DO THAT !
Will I have to go to FireFox ? I keep getting messages that
SeaMonkey is "OUTDATED" -
EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE LATEST UPDATE on the Windows 10 machine....
DoctorBill
DocBill, looking at your UserAgent, it indicates that you posted this
with SeaMonkey 2.49.1
This is not the latest version ... that would be 2.49.5 although
there are even later (trial) versions out there
Go to https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ to get the latest (approved)
version for your OS. ;-P
And note that because even the latest SeaMonkey version advertises
itself as based on FireFox V 52, some/many sites will still suggest
it is a very old Version.
.
I come to this NewsGroup FROM either THIS old HP Business Computer using
Windows 7 using 2.49.1
OR
My DELL "All-In-One" used business compuker using Windows 10 and 2.49.5.
Two different SeaMonkeys depending on which I am using AT THE TIME.
I can relate to this, Bill!
I dual boot this HP Laptop. On Windows 7, I have installed SeaMonkey
2.49.5. On my Linux installation, I have SeaMonkey 2.49.1 - I've
downloaded the 2.49.5 and I will get around to updating .... one day! ;-P
I am NOW on the old HP with Win 7. I downloaded 2.49.5 but have not
run it yet. All the 'extras' (extensions and Plugins) that I have on
this 2.49.1
will have to be re-setup on the 2.49.5.....a PITA !
As time goes on, I forget HOW to do all that - (I'm 76) and struggle
with "Keeping Up"
with all the new changes. Ignorance is expensive.
Thanks for the suggestion and comments.
How can the 2.49.5 be made to spoof with the new FireFox V52
recognition signal ?
Two ways ... either, first, in your Preferences
(Edit->Preferences->Advanced) and tick the box to Advertise Firefox
compatibility. That will tell every website you go to that your program
is like Firefox
But, it will still mention SeaMonkey, and some sites will be confused by
this so they still will not work, so ....
Second, in the web browser part of SeaMonkey type "about:config"
(without the inverted commas), accept the warning and then type
'Useragent' in the Search: line. That will just leave those preferences
that include the word useragent. One of those will be
'general.useragent.compatMode.firefox'. Double click on that preference
will change the 'Value' from 'false' to 'true'.
Additionally, if there is a particular website that is causing problems
(often banking sites), in this config page, you can add a preference
that would apply only to that particular website and set it to 'spoof'
Firefox only just for that website, but I'm unsure how to enter a new
preference like this.
Maybe someone else will suggest how to do that.
And it just occurred to me that there is a third method of changing the
Preferences ... by setting up a preference that applies only to that
particular website and saving that/those preferences in a *TEXT* file
called UserConfig and saving that file in the same location as your
Preferences file. This method allows you to add comments against each
preference that you add/change so that you can know why you did that
.... when your memory fails you! ;-)
You can check out the available preferences at ...

DoctorBill (still trying !)
Keep on trying, Doc!
I have all that you suggested running. No "Text" though....
Some site still don't like my system.
Thanks !
