Well I have made Helvetica Bold 9-pt a system font a long long time ago. All applications (up until recently - including SeaMonkey) used the font for menus and titlebars, etc... When I upgraded SeaMonkey it went to a bolded sans serif font. I used the "global UI font code" in userChrome.css to specify a smaller font size, so it reads fine now. But it's not the system font. I'll grab a screen capture to show you.

Sfs seamonkey file Subject description: Browser for old puppies |

watchdog wrote: | I think it's useful to give this pet for the guys who are still using wary or puppy 4.3x. I have tested it in wary 5.3 but it should work in all such old puppies. It needs only dbus and dbus-glib: in wary you can install them by PPM. In puppy 4.31 there are in this forum suitable dbus and dbus-glib from old debian. The reason because I made this pet is to help some forum's users after a manual test. See for example:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=745099#745099
This browser is updateable but it remains shown in menu as seamonkey2.23. Be careful making backup before testing. Enjoy.
Seamonkey 2.23:

EDIT:
Newly packaged seamonkey version 2.25 (with flashplayer) not yet tested. Report your testing after backup your savefile. Download from:

Hi,
Is there an sfs file for slacko64?
Thanks
Michel

What slacko are you using? This is a very old seamonkey...
LATER: got it! You are using slacko64 6.3.2. I think you can run the latest seamonkey in it but seamonkey is not my current browser and so I would need some time to test it. If anyone is using seamonkey it would be appreciated if he gets in this thread or another thread to help.

Seamonkey --neither Pet nor SFS required |
|
Hi All,
Seamonkey can be run from a folder. For 32-bit* follow the link at the bottom of this page for the old version you want. https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ Download the Linux version (far-right) in the language of your choice. Decompress the tar.bz. I used UExtract which resulted in a folder within named just seamonkey. I run seamonkey from /mnt/home so moved it there. But if you prefer you can you could move it to /opt (or anywhere else).
The attached pet will create a menu entry. Other than /usr/share/applications/seamonkey.desktop, the other 2 files are in /root/my-applications/bin. You can substitute any "png" icon for the one included. Just name it seamonkey. Open the bash script in geany/text editor. It now reads:
#!/bin/sh
exec /mnt/home/seamonkey/seamonkey "$@"
Change the path to that where you've located the seamonkey folder, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
exec /opt/seamonkey/seamonkey "$@"
Mozilla does not include flashplayer in its seamonkey package. After you've set up seamonkey, open a web-browser to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/. Step 1: Select Linux 32-bit. Step 2: Select the tar.gz NPAPI package. Download and unpack. Within the unpacked folder you'll find a file named libflashplayer.so. Move it into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. Restart-X. The rest of the package can be discarded/
The newest versions of seamonkey may require gtk3. The link to Mike Walsh's pet is here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=989764#989764. Disregard the "precise" label. It functions in any 32-bit Puppy which doesn't already include the gtk3 libraries.
Theoretically, seamonkey versions thru 40 should be able to make use of "pre-firefox-quantum" addons. But, I had a problem with version 40 so reverted to 39. Could have been just me/my computer.

There is a x86_64 en_US seamonkey 2.49.4. I have tested it working in slacko64 6.3.2.

I downloaded it, but it's not in "pet" format, so it won't work in Tahrpup's package manager. It isn't in a usable form.

There is a lack of extensions for latest seamonkey. I suggest:
https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/addon/jsbtn/
for a javascript toggle (it installs a button down right: when it is red the toggle is on). I hope pup-advert-blocker is enough to block ads. Is it true?

Is there someone who knows to achieve "Don't load tabs until selected" in latest seamonkey? I have solved the problem with palemoon:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1005778#1005778
and with firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/loadtabonselect/
With latest seamonkey I have not found adds-on to achieve this result. Is there a tweak I can do?

No, it's not what I was meaning. I usually open a folder of bookmarks at once (50-60 tabs): seamonkey keeps downloading all the tabs and my laptop is unusable for several minutes. I want to download site by site when I select the relative tab.
EDIT: possible workaround, even though a little quirky, to open 50 tabs and more in seamonkey without freezing the pc. Disable Link Prefetching as norgo said. Clear cache. Disconnect by right clicking on the icon in the tray. Open the group of bookmarks. They all istantaneously open in "page load error". Reconnect. Reload tab by tab.
