Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
LinuxUserSince1991,
I do not have an American Express card so I can say nothing about that situation. But I can say that many financial web sites in general seem to have issues with SeaMonkey. I have a Barclays Rewards card that works fine with SeaMonkey, in all ways---yet at the same time it also gives me messages saying that I may be missing out on something because my browser is out of date. As another example I have a Capital One Rewards card and I can examine the account and pay my balance, but when I try to use the Rewards functions it tells me to get a different browser and blocks any further activities regarding rewards. As people have said many of these sites will just refuse to recognize SeaMonkey for some or all of their functions. But SeaMonkey certainly is not the only one. The newer Opera browser based on an up-to-date Chromium also gets blocked by the Capital One rewards system. So sometimes it just pays to have extra browsers around for special cases.

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
Thanks, just tested with a clean profile, and result was the same. But this time I've caught an error in Error Console:Frank Lion wrote:Works fine for me.-Px- wrote:Is YouTube videos listing broken for everyone, or just me?
Setting a general override is the usual reason for Youtube not working. Test with a clean profile?
Out of curiosity I've added an override for a "modern" browser version, and the result was the same, just the error was differentTimestamp: 11/16/2021, 1:12:39 AM

So I'm assuming maybe the situation is opposite, you have some add-on which makes YouTube working for you . Or maybe I'm now getting new scripts version, which is now being tested in our region.Timestamp: 11/16/2021, 1:15:46 AM

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
I wrote a response to this earlier today; after verifying it had posted, I left, came back, and it was gone. Poof! Like it never existed. Oh well. My point is/was that Bank of America does to me what Barclays does to you, i.e., tells me I'm using an outdated browser. Also, with Capital One, I don't recall any problems offhand with redeeming rewards--and I have three of their rewards cards--but the next time I get ready to redeem, I'll keep this thread in mind.v_v wrote:LinuxUserSince1991,

As you can imagine, I did check in a new profile, before my last post here and it was OK. However, that was in 2.53.9, I find that in 2.53.9.1, bizarrely, you need to advertise only as Firefox (60) to get those links to work.
2.53.10 is even worse! That requires Firefox 60 as the UA suffix, not the new Firefox 68 one that 2.53.10 comes with.
tl:dr? - just do this, all tested and it works - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic ... #p14902749

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
My User Agent Setting was set to "Seamonkey as Firefox", now set to "Fifrefox". Youtube is still broken. If there's more that needs to be set, please explain in detail. Using 2.53.10

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
*sigh* And how does one do a "sight specific override"? I'm not a Seamonkey programmer so I don't know the internals.
What's a tl:dr? Where does one use it?

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
They just mean an override for a specific site, in this case YouTube. Sorry I can't help you do it, though.WaltP wrote:*sigh* And how does one do a "sight specific override"? I'm not a Seamonkey programmer so I don't know the internals.
TL;DR is a thing that started on Reddit(?) years ago, meaning 'too long, didn't read'--a person would write that in a reply. It's now used by the author of a long post meaning 'if you don't want to read all of this, here's the thumbnail version of what I said...."What's a tl:dr? Where does one use it?

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
Can the override for FireFox be in place at the same time as the general override? And exactly what is the 32-bit override that should be used?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
The only issue I'm having with YouTube is a brief hang when I click on a certain video, probably related to ads and/or uBlock Origin.

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
Actually with youtube it depends on what type of page are you trying to view. Main page (youtube.com) works fine, individual video pages also have no issues but channel pages e.g. https://www.youtube.com/c/SUPERGTOfficialChannel/videos display only the search bar, everything else is blank.

Re: Fewer and Fewer Sites working in SM
There is no law that force you to believe but I have exactly the same empty page.ElTxolo wrote:Honestly, I don't believe what you say:lvm wrote:[....] but channel pages e.g. https://www.youtube.com/c/SUPERGTOfficialChannel/videos display only the search bar, everything else is blank.
But when I've searched for this channel and then clicked Videos then it works. Clicking on direct URL gives empty page.
UA for YT -> default SeaMonkey only (as you can see)
Cookies -> enabled
Account -> logged in
ADB+ -> blocks only "doubleclick.com" domain
It is repeatable.
Fake UA (Fx 68 or 78) for YT gives empty main page and limited functionality for direct URL for particular video. I have fake UA for other Google's domains.

Well, I feel sorry for you.
What would be really cool, is to read the previous messages, before spouting antics:
