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.

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.

* I couldn't find a 64-bit Seamonkey built by mozilla, but kind-of recalled that the Fatdog team may have produced one.

Try this seamonkey-2.49.4-en_US-x86_64.sfs:

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?
