i upgraded to seamonkey beta version and for the life of me cant find how to clear my cache

fakarten: Hiya thanks for that, Fencer sorted it all out for me.

mybirthdaysoon: Enable javascript in your browser if it's disabled.

Can somebody help me. When I switch to Rich Text Editor there is no message box to type into, does anybody know the cause of this and how i can rectify it. Thank you

Czuch Czuckers: The first extension I install is the All-In-One-Sidebar, which gives you an opera-like sidebar where you can put not only history and bookmarks, but everything which is or might be accessible with a toolbar-icon, and load the content in this side panel. Then I install the Web Developer Extension, Forecast Fox, del.icio.us and AdBlock Plus.

Edit: And the wonderful Download Statusbar!

ßăķëď Äłáşķǻñ: Thanks a lot! You guys have been very helpful!

Czuch Czuckers:

Here are a few I use:
Febe
Ad block
Clear cach
Colorful tabs
Dictionary tooltip
Fasterfox
Forcastfox
No script
Pix2phone
Resizeable textarea
UI tweaker
Image zoom
Quiz addicts

Czuch Czuckers: I have been through every add-on they do (i think lol) and tried alot like BBW.

Now i only really use:

Greasemonkey, for use with hexkids script.

Resizeable Textarea, lets you make the text boxes we type in here any size you want, great for writing large stuff.

Forecastfox, like BBW says, great weather add-on.

del.icio.us, great for storing bookmarks, and also able to access them from any pc.

Gmail Manager, great if you have a Googlemail account.

Perma Tabs, lets you make tabs permanent.

Some others that i use just for fun:

Footiefox, Clear cache button, Colorful Tabs, Fireform, No Go button, Searchbar Autosizer

Czuch Czuckers: Just one :)

NoScript ( http://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/ )

Czuch Czuckers: I at one time loaded many different extensions since there are a lot of "cool" ones out there - but found out I never used most of them, and probable would not use most of them - so I uninstalled all but 2.

Forecastfox - nice weather related extension - I keep the 5 day forcast in the bottom bar of my browser - A lot of times I only want a quick outlook - like about what tempature it will be this week, or if it looks like rain, and I use this a lot for just quick looks at stuff. (for more details, I use some weather websites & not forecastfox - but I think it can give you more details also - I just already have a couple sites I look at for the details.

BugMeNot - As a tech guy, I visit many sites for things like tips, computer problems, drivers, etc... Some of those sites make you register before you can view answers, or download drivers. Well for sites I know I will probable never visit again, I envoke the BugMeNot - which will 85% of the time log me onto these sites long enough for me to get what I want and leave - without having to register & get on their mailing lists.

Are there any add ons/extensions that i just shouldnt live without? There are just so many, I get a head ache just trying to browse them all! What are some of your favorite ones, or ones you think everyone should use?

hexkid: i changed mouse and keyboard and its fine now..lol

hexkid:

"Snoopy": Shift key stuck?
Touch all Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys and make sure they're all unstuck

or

unplug the keyboard from the computer, throw it hard, keys down, against your bed.

everytime i try and play a game it opens up a new window on IE
on seamonkey and firefox it just freezers
when i start the computer up i get a beeping sound for a couple of mins
please help someone i cant play my games at all now

Lawyers from our primary ISP decided to pull our plug without any advance notice, as of 14:45 PST. No doubt related to our lawsuit brought by the MPAA, but we don't have more information at this time until people responsible comes to work tomorrow.

Sit back and enjoy the rest of the internet in the mean time, while it last. For your torrent searching needs, try Google for now by searching for "SEARCH TERMS ext:torrent".

You can also come hang around our IRC channel (SSL on port +7000). We'll update on this page and on IRC when we have more information.

Your donations will be used for the operational costs of our servers and development of our websites. You have our sincere thanks

I have not had time to look at the whole list, but someone gave me this link - and it looks to cover a lot of "free" software that people can use for their PC's (including security)

http://www.carolsvault.com/pimp-windows-2/

Rose: I know, there are several issues with ZoneAlarm, you can't configure too much yourself and it doesn't tell you very much - just like it would be a MS app ;)
I loved Sygate, very sad that #*!°~#- Symantec stopped it...

Gordon Shumway: I had zone alarm and had a lot of troubles with it was it kept blocking my net access if my machine was idle.. real pain.. so that is gone. I fully recommend AVG ( the free one) Ive had it for about a year and recommend it over Norton. My hubby tries to disuade folks from buying Norton and when he works on their PC's he puts on AVG.  The down side is we get fewer returns lol. Folks arent getting the viruses they were getting with other programs so less work for him!

"Snoopy": I don't know a free combination of spyware/antivirus/firewall, I use avg free for antivirus and anti-spyware(http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1). As a firewall I used Sygate, but during the search for an english download page I got informed that Symantec bought Sygate and stopped serving updates, so I might consider going back to Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/trial_zaFamily/trial_zaFamily.jsp), also I didn't really like it..

"Snoopy": Lots of them (and a whole lot of other types of software):

http://www.econsultant.com/i-want-freeware-utilities/index.html
http://www.econsultant.com/i-want-open-source-software/index.html

Sorry, I can't recommend one of the "Anti-Spyware/Anti-Virus/Anti-Rootkit" because I don't use them (my connection to the internet is through a Linux machine which has its own firewall).

if theres a good free internet security out there somewhere
as my Norton is about to expire and i dont fancy paying to renew it

You can download releases here

http://mozilla.mirror.ac.za/firefox/releases/

BIG BAD WOLF: It isnt compatible with the google tool bar, which I was used to... what are the advantages about the 2.0 that you enjoy over the 1.5?

Czuch Czuckers: What don't you like about version 2.0. I did not like a few things, but after I did some easy configs - like be able to get more tabs, and move the X off each tab - I liked it better then 1.5

diogenysos: can you tell me how to get that URL into english and not "German?"

if you are running XP you can reconfigure your computer to what it was a couple of days ago...
Start, Accessories,System tools,System Restore, and just follow the prompts. Put in a date pre your new firefox installation....voila....done.....I think HEHEHEHHE

Czuch Czuckers: Do you mean version 3.01a (screenshot ) or maybe 3.0a2?
I installed that version on my work computer; now I have both version 2 and version 3 installed and can run either depending on which icon I click (but I'm not running the "Minefield" version).

Anyway, barring extension/configuration problems, I believe you can uninstall all versions, download the version you prefer, and install only that version (maybe you'll have to reinstall extensions too).

Rose: okay, thanks!

Czuch Czuckers:  Guess it depends on if you got an upgrade or a brand new version.. if it upgraded you may not be able to uninstall the upgrade and go back.

Rose: its not still on my computer somewhere?

Hardest part may not be uninstalling but trying to find the old version

I just installed the latest version of fire fox, and I don't really like it. How can I get the old one back?

BerniceC: yeah! the VLC is a good thing -

burning probs? hmmm, try another software, to be downloaded for free here:

http://www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_13008349.html

have downloaded Happy Feet onto my computer and can view it with VLC BUT I cannot burn it to disk for some reason using Nero 6.6 as it will not accept the file..... happy.feet.2006.CAM.XViD-dope.[www.torrentfive.com]
VLC media file (.avi)717,404KB

can anybodt help on this one :(sorry to be a bother

BerniceC:  Glad to have been of help ;)

diogenysos:Thank you so much....downloaded the VLC player and everything is working just perfectly....I downloaded Happy feet as an .avi this morning and all is working well.
Groucho Thank you also for your information and it made me feel better knowing that it wasnt just me LOL.
I decided to download the player becuase it would have been easier to get rid off if it didn't work, but it is just great, so I am happy.

Thank you both so much

BerniceC:

download this small and powerful player "VLC media player"

here:

http://www.videolan.org/

this one should work even with incomplete files and you shouldnt have to download all thos codec-packs, that may cause trouble on your cpu...

BerniceC:  check This Out

this will tell you you're not alone with your problem :)

I think it's a DivX problem.  from the second site:
This
is a super simple fix. I just went through the same problem. all you
have to do is download the divx codec. go to divx.com and download the
divx codec. its free and will allow you to work. good luck guys

and

I downloaded DivX (free version) and installed it after experiencing the no video problem with .avi files and it solved it.

Let us know if that solves it  ;:)

Im using WMP version 11 I think...will not play avi files....I have no probs with mpg DVD movie files.

Using XP and keep everything upsated to the latest if I can.

Power DVD is another one....wont work with avi, I cant think of the other 2 i have....but thanks anyway you 2 :)

*** edited to change to version 11 of WMP...I checked it***

BIG BAD WOLF:  I'm not sure about it either.  :)  I'm sure someone will know the answer.  

Gr☺uch☺: I'm not sure (I don't use the latest version of Windows Media Player) - but my guess is that it is impossible for WMP to have every codec out there - so I would guess that even with the latest, you may sooner or later run into something that needs a codec.

... and I'm far from an expert - I could be wrong in all of this - if so, I'm sure someone will correct me.
