Anyone here use SeaMonkey....My Firefox has shut down "Send Link" and
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 02:29 PM by KoKo01
disabled my "Get Mail" add on so that I can't post e-mail from my Firefox Browser. I've Googled every help for my problem...but the answers don't seem to be anything I can understand.

I've used Firefox for a year without any problems but suddenly it's corrupted. Even the instructions for reinstalling it are so unclear that I can't figure out how to do it. They say I have to go somewhere and find different Firefox files to uninstall. Why doesn't the Browser have an "uninstall?"

All I want is a broswer that's like my old Netscape with integrated Mail and the ability to cut and past text, save it so I can post and the ability to send links of articles. I'm disappointed that Firefox has turned buggy.

Wonder if anyone has used SeaMonkey and if there are problems with it. Also can you import all your settings, bookmarks and old e-mail in one easy step, like I did with Firefox...or do I have to start from scratch. I use Win-XP and have the latest Firefox...but NOT the new Beta.

If anyone has any tips on fixing Firefox or using SeaMonkey.....a big thanks..in advance.

1. Been using SeaMonkey since it came out
I put it on systems I build. Never a problem with it.

7. I got a question for ya hobbit,
When I used to use Outlook (everything is webmail now but I do somethings Outlook to save important emails) it kept all the email in a single file on the PC, so whenever I had to re-install all I had to do is backup that file and then import it into the new install....

What I am asking is how does Seamonkey handle its data and can it import Outlook email & address book?

Thanks

8. Don't know about the email
but it will import your address book just fine. Any emails I wanted to save, I always just do a "Save As" and put them in a folder on my data drive. The problem with that single file save is that the file can get beyond humongous in size. I use different folders depending on whether or not it's business, friends or whatever so that I can distinguish between them all. Counting all my data files, I probably have over 200,000 files and about 400+Gb of data. If I didn't have some way of sorting that, I'd be in deep doodoo.

5. The windows control panel.
either start->setting->control panel or start->control panel (depending on your version and then find the add/remove software icon. Scroll down to firefox and remove it that way.
