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.
