Seamonkey compatibility

Post by learjet »

I've been using Seamonkey suite on Linux since 2005. I love it. However, lately, more and more, I'm seeing websites that don't support Seamonkey. This is very disconcerting to me. I hate having to open Chrome or Firefox just to use a website. I do my best to make sure I email support at the site and let them know it, but so far, I haven't seen any improvements.

Even switching how Seamonkey is identified by user agent doesn't seem to work well enough.

I would really hate to have to drop Seamonkey for some other crappy browser.

Anyone else notice this happening? Any suggestions?

You appear to be using SeaMonkey version 2.38. That version is outdated. As such, it will become more and more incompatible with websites over time.

Does the latest version, 2.46, work better for you?

URLs?

Do you have "advertise compatibility" (with FF) enabled?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Yes as the old SM 2.38 version you have is using the same Gecko engine as Firefox 41.0 that was released back in Sept 2015.

As said Please use SeaMonkey 2.46 as it is much more current. You can either check for SeaMonkey updates in your Linux distro package manager or download the tar.gz archive as linked to.
