-<p>The Mozilla backend code SeaMonkey is based on, now usually incorporates
|
|
|
-breaking changes in every release. This is especially true for the Mozilla Gecko
|
|
|
-add-ons code and the JavaScript interpreter. Consequently, some older extensions
|
|
|
-<em>may</em> no longer function properly. If you experience any problems please
|
|
|
-refer to the troubleshooting section first. Especially try to disable extensions
|
|
|
-first and check if this makes a difference.
|
|
|
-<br>
|
|
|
-<b>Important only if you upgrade from 2.49.5 or an earlier version:</b>
|
|
|
-Due to changes in the user profile, if you have set a master password, you will
|
|
|
-have to remove it <b>before</b> upgrading to [% rnote.basename %]. After a
|
|
|
-successful upgrade, don't forget to manually remove the files key3.db and cert8.db
|
|
|
-in your profile afterwards, as they include credentials and passwords no longer
|
|
|
-protected by a master password. You can find the path to your profile folder
|
|
|
-entering the special <b>about:support</b> URL in a SeaMonkey browser window.
|
|
|
-<br>You can remove your master password by providing an empty password in the
|
|
|
-"Change Master Password" dialog. <b>Do not use the "Reset Password" function.
|
|
|
-You will lose all stored passwords this way.</b>

-<b>If you have a SeaMonkey 2.53.1 or 2.53.2 language pack installed you need to
|
|
|
-remove it before upgrading to this version.</b> These language pack versions
|
|
|
-were marked to be compatible with all SeaMonkey 2.53.x releases and cause
|
|
|
-breakage when used with a different version. You can then install one of the

-provided [% rnote.baseversion %] language packs from the download section after
|
|
|
-installation of the base product.

-</p>

|
|
-<ul>
|
|
|
- <li>The Bookmarks Manager has switched its name to Library, and now also
|
|
|
- includes the History list. When History is invoked, the Library will be
|
|
|
- shown with the History list selected. The extensive modifications were
|
|
|
- needed because of Mozilla Gecko platform API changes.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Download Manager has been migrated to a new API. Although it looks pretty
|
|
|
- much the same as before, the search option is missing and some other minor
|
|
|
- details work differently. The previous downloads history is removed during
|
|
|
- the upgrade.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|

|
|

- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>SeaMonkey now uses a new api for formatting regional data like time and
|
|
|
- date. Default is to use the application locale of the current SeaMonkey
|
|
|
- build. If you use a language pack or a different OS formatting this is

|
|
- usually not desired. You can change the formatting from the application

|
|
-regarding extensions:</p>
|
|
|
-<ul>
|
|
|
- <li>if you have the extensions.strictCompatibility preference set to false
|
|
|
- and install a version of an add-on which states that it only supports a
|
|
|
- previous SeaMonkey release this can break SeaMonkey.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>For <b>Enigmail</b>, please refer to the
|
|
|
- <a href="https://enigmail.net/index.php/en/home">Enigmail</a> page.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Adblock Plus 2.9.1 may cause huge memory and CPU consumption and is not
|
|
|
- recommended or officially supported in this SeaMonkey version. Consider
|
|
|
- switching to uBlock.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Lightbird 0.7.1. is not compatible with this version. Until a fixed
|
|
|
- version is released you need to uninstall it.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>The latest 1.16.x working version of uBlock can be found
|
|
|
- <a href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases">here</a>.
|
|
|
- Please install the latest legacy version.

|
|
|
- <li>The latest 5.1.9 working version of NoScript Classic can be found
|
|
|
- <a href="https://noscript.net/getit">here</a>.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Previous versions supported a proprietary JavaScript try/catch solution.
|
|
|
- This was removed in <a
|
|
|
- href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1228841">bug 1228841</a>
|
|
|
- and needed to be backported to 2.53.10b1. The backport might break some
|
|
|
- add-ons. One add-on affected is the classic version of DownThemAll.
|
|
|
- A fixed version is available from the <a
|
|
|
- href="https://github.com/dirkf/downthemall-legacy/releases/">DTA forked repo</a>.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Full theme add-ons are still fully supported but may need changes because
|
|
|
- of user interface and internal changes. If you find any problem with themes,
|
|
|
- contact the theme author. Before reporting a problem with the user interface
|
|
|
- please make sure to recreate it with either the Classic or Modern theme.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Lightweight themes are no longer provided on the SeaMonkey Add-ons site
|
|
|
- and installed existing themes might be broken. Support for web extension
|
|
|
- themes will be added at a later date.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Because of security backports which removed obsolete code, Session Manager
|
|
|
- add-on version 0.8.1.14 or above is required to be compatible with current

- and future 2.53 releases.

|
|
-<div class="section">
|
|
|
-This list covers some of the known problems with [% rnote.name %].
|
|
|
-Please read this before reporting any new bugs.
|
|
|
-<ul>
|
|
|
- <li>The base user agent version was set to 91 to help with website
|
|
|
- compatibility. For YouTube do not set the user agent to identify only as
|
|
|
- Firefox or make sure you are using a site specific user agent for it.
|
|
|
- YouTube will show only a mostly blank page otherwise in some scenarios.
|
|
|
- Enhancements for this are planned in <a
|
|
|
- href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1737436">bug 1737436</a>.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Translations might be missing in a few languages in the user interface
|
|
|
- and are being substituted with the corresponding US English terms. Some
|
|
|
- languages like Polish are now missing a translator. Consider helping out
|
|
|
- with translations if you would like to have a 100% translated version.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>SeaMonkey might not start under Linux if you downloaded the wrong package.
|
|
|
- <br>We are providing x86 and x64 versions of SeaMonkey for Linux.
|
|
|
- For newer distributions you probably need the Linux x64 version.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Lightning or one of the distributed extensions is disabled under Add-ons.
|
|
|
- <br> Starting with SeaMonkey 2.53.7b1 the distributed extensions can no
|
|
|
- longer be removed. If you have previously enabled one then under some
|
|
|
- circumstance it might be disabled during the upgrade process. If the
|
|
|
- extension is disabled and can not be enabled then it is because an old or
|
|
|
- incompatible version is still present in your profile.
|
|
|
- <br> To clean out old versions use the following instructions:
|
|
|
- <ul>
|
|
|
- <li>Enter "about:config" in the location bar.</li>
|
|
|
- <li>Enter "extensions.installedDistroAddon" in the search field.</li>
|
|
|
- <li>Reset (delete) all keys found.</li>
|
|
|
- <li>Open the Add-ons Manager. If the "remove" button is shown for the
|
|
|
- disabled extension use it. Stored data like your personal calendars will
|
|
|
- not be removed by this action.
|
|
|
- <li>Restart SeaMonkey.</li>
|
|
|
- <li>Disable any distributed extension you do not wish to use.</li>
|
|
|
- </ul>
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Unable to connect to secure sites and a certificate error is shown.
|
|
|
- <br>In 99% of all cases this issue is caused by the same problem. Your
|
|
|
- antivirus software or custom firewall acts as a man in the middle and
|
|
|
- intercepts secure https traffic. In order to intercept and scan this
|
|
|
- encrypted network traffic, it normally uses a vendor specific certificate
|
|
|
- which is not installed by default in SeaMonkey by the third party software
|
|
|
- installer. If you want to keep this feature working you need to install one
|
|
|
- or more certificate(s) from the antivirus software in SeaMonkey. You need
|
|
|
- to ask your antivirus software vendor where they are located. Consult the
|
|
|
- SeaMonkey online help to find out how you can import and manage certificates.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>If you experience a hang and/or get a message box warning that a script
|
|
|
- is busy when opening the Data Manager try deleting the webappsstore.* files
|
|
|
- from your profile folder when SeaMonkey is not running. These files contain
|
|
|
- data stored by websites and will be recreated during the next start. If
|
|
|
- you are unsure if the information is needed please back up the files before
|
|
|
- deleting them. The problem is tracked in
|
|
|
- <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1305624">bug 1305624</a>
|
|
|
- but so far no coding error has been found.
|
|
|
- This problem has been reported frequently when trying to manage passwords.
|
|
|
- But the problem will generally happen just after you open the Data Manager,
|
|
|
- because this component is also used for managing cookies, site preferences
|
|
|
- permissions and other settings.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>If you are running Windows 7 "Send to > Mail recipient" might not work.

- More information can be found in

|
|
- <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1356902">bug 1356902</a>.
|
|
|
- As a workaround install the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019"
|
|
|
- redistributable runtime library. For x86 install the
|
|
|
- <a href="https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/vc_redist.x86.exe">VS2019 x86 runtime</a>.
|
|
|
- <br>If you are using the x64 build install the
|

|
|
|
- SeaMonkey x64 was built using the latest VS2019 compiler so make sure to
|
|
|
- upgrade any older VS2017 runtime. Currently the VS2015-VS2022 package is
|
|
|
- still compatible with Windows 7 too so you could also use this one.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>If you experience a delay showing the first page after start, please
|
|
|
- delete the Safebrowsing folder in your profile. Bad Safebrowsing data may
|
|
|
- delay showing the first page for up to 30 seconds. The problem is tracked
|
|
|
- in <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1432274">bug 1432274</a>.
|
|
|
- This can occur even if you are not using Safebrowsing because the lists are
|
|
|
- always fetched.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>SeaMonkey does not currently support the WebExtensions add-on api. Some
|
|
|
- popular add-ons like NoScript and uBlock Origin are no longer shown because
|
|
|
- of this on the SeaMonkey add-ons website. You can usually get compatible
|
|
|
- versions from the manufacturers site. WebExtensions support is a planned
|
|
|
- feature. Dictionaries and language packs in the WebExtensions format are
|
|
|
- supported.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>The SSL 3.0 encryption protocol is no longer supported due to
|
|
|
- security concerns (<a
|
|
|
- href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1106470">bug
|
|
|
- 1106470</a>). Legacy websites may still rely on it and will not work
|
|
|
- with the newer TLS 1.x protocols. Contact the website administrator
|
|
|
- to update their server to resolve the issue at the source.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>The Remember Passwords add-on breaks password handling. Please disable
|
|
|
- or uninstall this add-on using the Add-ons Manager.

|
|
|
- <li><strong>Data loss warning:</strong> If you use a profile with this or
|
|
|
- any later version and then try to go back to SeaMonkey 2.49.5 or earlier,
|
|
|
- SeaMonkey will rename your bookmarks and history file to
|
|
|
- places.sqlite.corrupt and create a new places.sqlite file, effectively
|
|
|
- resetting your browsing history. This is because the internal format
|
|
|
- changed and the upgrade process only works in one direction.
|
|
|
- Additionally, running MailNews with local folders and POP3 mail filters may
|
|
|
- produce summary files that are not correctly read by previous versions of
|
|
|
- SeaMonkey. If you decide to go back to a previous version of SeaMonkey, you
|
|
|
- should do it from a profile backup only. Stored passwords and local storage
|
|
|
- will also be unavailable in the old version.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>After creating a news account through clicking a news URL, the MailNews
|
|
|
- account wizard may be broken (the account type will always be News). To
|
|
|
- work around the problem, set the mail.server.serverX.valid pref (where
|
|
|
- X is the internal number of the corresponding news account) to true in
|
|
|
- about:config, or delete the invalid news account (<a

|
|

|
|
|
- <li>WebRTC has been disabled by default. It needs an add-on to enable it per

|
- browser (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662907">bug

- make sure SeaMonkey 2.53.7b1 is not running, edit the channel-prefs.js
|
|
|
- file located in the defaults/pref directory of the installation
|
|
|
- directory for SeaMonkey 2.53.7b1 and change the app.update.channel pref

|
|
|
- </li>
|

- <ul>
|

- <li>You might not be able to install SeaMonkey in Windows 10 if you have
|
|
|
- turned on the Windows Defender Smartscreen feature. Your SeaMonkey
|
|
|
- download will be blocked in the case. To overcome this go to
|
|
|
- "Windows Security->App & browser control" in the new Windows Settings
|
|
|
- and set the "Check apps and files" setting to Warn from Block.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>Antivirus scanners may report that some parts of SeaMonkey (e.g. the
|
|
|
- file freebl3.dll) are suspicious. If you downloaded SeaMonkey from one
|
|
|
- of the official download sites, this is a false alarm. You might
|
|
|
- experience problems with secure websites when this happens. To fix the
|
|
|
- issue, instruct your antivirus software to ignore these files (and move
|
|
|
- them out of quarantine) and/or switch to another antivirus software and
|
|
|
- reinstall SeaMonkey.

|
|
|
- <li>
|
|
|
- Some antivirus software keeps detecting our installers as containing a
|
|
|
- "Trojan" or "Downloader". This is a false positive because of some wrong
|
|
|
- detection mechanism in the antivirus software. The code in question is
|
|
|
- actually from 7-Zip and decompresses the installer so that its contents can
|
|
|
- run and install SeaMonkey. That technology is widely used and probably can
|
|
|
- be used to compress bad as well as good software, but the 7-Zip code itself
|
|

- This might cause problems with add-ons like Stylish which use moz-document.
|
|
|
- Set the preference "layout.css.moz-document.content.enabled" to

- <li>
|
|
|
- Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with
|
|
|
- SeaMonkey, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc.
|
|
|
- If you encounter strange problems relating to parts of SeaMonkey no longer
|
|
|
- working, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distorted
|
|
|
- appearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering from Extension
|
|
|
- or Theme trouble.
|
|
|
- Restart SeaMonkey in Safe Mode. On Windows, start using the "Safe Mode"
|
|
|
- shortcut created in your Start menu or by running
|
|
|
- <code>seamonkey.exe -safe-mode</code>.
|
|
|
- On Linux, start with <code>/path-to-seamonkey/seamonkey -safe-mode</code>
|
|
|
- or first change to the SeaMonkey installation directory and start with
|
|
|
- <code>./seamonkey -safe-mode</code>, and on macOS, run:
|
|
|
- <p><code>
|
|
|
- cd /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/<br>
|
|
|
- ./seamonkey-bin -safe-mode
|
|
|
- </code></p>
|
|
|
- When started in Safe Mode all extensions are disabled and the Default theme
|
|
|
- is used. Disable the Extension/Theme that is causing trouble and then start
|
|
|
- normally.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>
|
|
|
- If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile
|
|
|
- (i.e. you installed it from a Web page) and then wish to install it for all
|
|
|
- user profiles using the -install-global-extension command line flag, you
|
|
|
- must restart SeaMonkey once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of
|
|
|
- traces of that extension before installing with the switch. If you do not do
|
|
|
- this you may end up with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be
|
|
|
- unable to install the extension globally.
|
|
|
- </li>
|
|
|
- <li>
|
|
|
- If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, window
|
|
|
- placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you
|
|
|
- try creating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before
|
|
|
- filing bugs. Create a new profile by running SeaMonkey with the -P command
|
|
|
- line argument, choose the "Manage Profiles" button and then choose "Create
|
|
|
- Profile...". Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc)
|
|
|
- over one by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you
|
|
|
- do find a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and
|
|
|
- attach the file.
