Furthermore they need to be +adjusted for each new SeaMonkey release, which also means that an old version of +such an add-on can break SeaMonkey if you disabled compatibility checking (which +e.g. happens when you install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on).</p> +<ul> + <li>For <b>Lightning</b>, please check the <a + href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Calendar/Calendar_Versions#Stable_Releases">Stable + Releases section</a> on the Calendar Versions page.

Note that only Windows is supported at this time.</li> +</ul> +<p>SeaMonkey 2.29 dropped support for the legacy JavaScript Debugger interface + (JSD1). Hence add-ons that relied on it, like the <b>JavaScript Debugger + (Venkman)</b> that came bundled with SeaMonkey, or <b>Firebug</b> 1.x, have + stopped working. While Venkman has been discontinued, Firebug can simply be + upgraded to a more recent version (2.x) which supports the new JSD2 + interface. If you are searching for a Venkman replacement (especially for + debugging SeaMonkey itself or add-ons), have a look at the <a + href="https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/tiny-javascript-debugger/">Tiny + JavaScript Debugger</a> add-on.</p> +</div> + +<h2 id="issues">Known Issues</h2> +<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 SSL 3.0 encryption protocol is disabled by default due to security + concerns (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1076983">bug + 1076983</a>). Legacy websites may still rely on it and will not work + with the newer TLS 1.x protocols. SSL 3.0 support can be re-enabled in + Preferences under Privacy & Security, SSL.</li> + <li>Lightning 3.6b1 does not work with SeaMonkey 2.31 when icaljs is enabled, + which it is by default (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1081534">bug + 1081534</a>). As a workaround, disable icaljs by setting the calendar.icaljs + pref to false in about:config.</li> + <li>The Remember Passwords add-on breaks password handling. Please disable + or uninstall this add-on using the Add-ons Manager.</li> + <li>You cannot set up a new Sync account or pair a device anymore (<a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=998807">bug 998807</a>). + Workaround: Use an older version of SeaMonkey for such tasks for now.</li> + <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 2.0, SeaMonkey will rename + your 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 delete the .msf files for your local folders and POP3 accounts or + repair the folders using the folder properties dialog in order to avoid + potential data loss.</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 + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521861">bug 521861</a>).</li> + <li>Web pages may appear differently in the MailNews feed reader than in the + browser (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662907">bug + 662907</a>). Workaround: Add a "noscript {display:none}" rule to your + <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css">userContent.css</a> + (note that the Stylish add-on cannot be used here since it does not + integrate with the MailNews feed reader).</li> + <li>Select Element by Click doesn't flash the element in DOM Inspector on + Windows if hardware acceleration is enabled (<a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594299">bug 594299</a>).</li> + <li>The option "When opening a bookmark group" / "Replace existing tabs" + under Preferences / Tabbed Browsing does not have an effect anymore (<a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664101">bug 664101</a>).</li> + <li>Lightning keyboard shortcuts for accessing the calendar tab from within + the MailNews window or from the main menu (Ctrl+Shift+C/D) do not work. (<a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514512">bug 514512</a>).</li> + <li>If you try to start SeaMonkey using a locked profile, it will crash (see <a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573369">bug 573369</a>).</li> + <li>Some synaptic touch pads are unable to vertical scroll (see <a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622410">bug 622410</a>).</li> + <li>Under certain conditions, scrolling and text input may be jerky (see <a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711900">bug 711900</a>).</li> + <li>Mac OS X and Windows: Citrix Receiver no longer works. As a workaround, + mark the plugin as <em>Always Enable</em> in the Add-ons Manager (see + <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1025627">bug 1025627</a>).</li> + <li>Windows: + <ul> + <li>Norton/Symantec anti-virus 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 anti-virus software to + ignore these files (and move them out of quarantine) and/or switch + to another anti-virus software and reinstall SeaMonkey.</li> + </ul> + </li> + <li>Linux: + <ul> + <li>The cursor may change to "drag & drop" mode in the mail window, causing a hang (<a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736811">bug 736811</a>).</li> + </ul> + </li> + <li>Mac: + <ul> + <li>When hardware acceleration is off, background colors in the UI + (toolbar, status bar etc.) might not update correctly when you switch + focus from/to a window. Users running Macs with certain older hardware + (e.g. Intel GMA 950) will experience this even if they haven't turned + off hardware acceleration in Preferences (Appearance/Content) (<a + href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626096">bug 626096</a>).</li> + </ul> + </li> +</ul> +</div> + +<h2 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2> +<div class="section"> +<ul> + <li> + Some questions are asked more frequently than others. Have a look at the <a + href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/FAQ">SeaMonkey FAQ</a>. + Maybe your particular problem has already been solved. + </li> + <li> + Some anti-virus software keeps detecting our installers as containing a + "Trojan" or "Downloader". This is a false positive and is some wrong + detection mechanism in the anti-virus 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 + is perfectly safe. Mozilla scans all our files routinely when putting them + on the FTP server and we assure you that our installers are as clean as the + official Firefox downloads that are scanned by the same mechanisms. + </li> + <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>./seamonkey -safe-mode</code> and on Mac OS X, 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. + </li> +</ul> +</div> + +<h2 id="faq">Frequently Asked Questions</h2> +<div class="section"> +<dl> + <dt>What can I do to help? + <dd> + We need help from developers and the testing community to provide as much + feedback as possible to make SeaMonkey even better.
