LINKS DON'T OPEN!

Post by wwe »

In the last few days when I click on a link it goes nowhere. But if I right click and open in NEW WINDOW I can open it. How can I fix this?

Does the same thing occur if you launch the application in Mozilla Safe Mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

    I tested a local 2.49.4 and didn't encounter it but to be on the safe side do not upgrade your OS yet. If it is too late and SeaMonkey becomes unusable shoot me a pm. I can provide a private 2.49.5 prerelease x64 only build if needed. Our new infrastructure is not yet ready.

  • If you think it's related to the Mojave 10.14 update.
    Send to frg (SeaMonkey Lead Developer) a private message. So, he can provide, a solution with SeaMonkey 2.49.5 download. Image

I just did a fresh build and Bill hosts it now. It works for me in 10.14 but keep in mind that it is unofficial. If you find a bug please report it.

Where?


The Mac bug does not sound related to the OP's issue?
(That said, can't hurt to have 2.49.5 running.)
Fire 750, bring back 250.

    I did try what you suggested but no luck. Actually I've just discovered I only have this problem when I go to GOOGLE and look for something. When it shows me all the choices those are the links I can't get to open! But if I go yo SAFARI or another browser I don't have this problem just when I do it on SM!
