User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.22) Gecko/20090605 SeaMonkey/1.1.17 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.22) Gecko/20090605 SeaMonkey/1.1.17 Until recently you could click on the individual time tabs to see still frames of the pressure (temperature, wind strength, weather), or on the 'play' symbol to see a movie. This is no longer working with Seamonkey. It still works with I.E.6. With the exception of the 'pressure' map (contour plot) the weather symbols themselves are also missing. I suspect the 6 images that comprise the animation are not being loaded, since the tabs above the graphic are still highlighted correctly. The main Europe pressure (contour) map, http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/europe/surface_pressure.html, is also broken in the same way. I suspect all the Met Office animations are now broken for Seamonkey. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Not sure what's meant here. Happens every time, as soon as you load the page. 2. ? 3. ? Actual Results: No special procedure Expected Results: See 'details' Animations should run. They still do with I.E.6. The UK Government's Meteorological Office site is used by shipping, professional and private pilots, sailing and mountaineering enthusiasts, and the public at large. It should work seamlessly and robustly, and any changes that are implemented should be texted on all serious browsers before being released. Seamonkey is clearly in this category. -----------------IMPORTANT INFORMATION------------------ I have reported this problem here because this is where I was directed to give an Evangelism Report, i.e. to report a site that does not work with Mozilla. If this is NOT the correct place, please forward this report to the right team - thanks. I did see that under "URL" there are instructions for reporting a broken web page. However, the link, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=broken-website.html, takes you to a Firefox reporter. I am using Seamonkey, and I'm reporting a major site that no longer works - this is evangelism. (NB There is nothing about reporting a broken web site in my help pull-down.) Finally, on the page https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Tech%20Evangelism&format=guided, your link that checks for a build younger than 2 weeks, http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/, gives a 404.
Important question: does this work in *any* browser other than IE? If so, which ones? (I'd suggest trying Firefox, Safari, and/or Opera for starters.) I'll file a separate bug in the appropriate component on the broken FTP link. Thanks for catching that. cl
Sorry Chris, I don't have access to any other browers. Seamonkey and IE6 only.
Apologies for not reporting the 404 separately! A
That page seems to work fine, including animations, with Camino trunk (2009070900). I'm having a couple SeaMonkey guys check on it on Windows machines (there is a Mac version of SeaMonkey, but I don't have it handy). I see a handful of CSS errors in Firefox's Error Console, but Firefox 3.0.x also seems to work fine there. Just to rule out Gecko 1.8 issues, I tried Firefox 2, and it *also* works fine. Had a guy on IRC check SeaMonkey trunk and 1.1.6 without problems, too. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm fairly certain it isn't a TE issue. I'm going to kick this to Seamonkey:General for further triage, and while I do that, could you answer this question for us: Are there any blocked images (see Tools->Image Mananger->Manage Image Permissions)? Thanks. (And don't worry about the 404 link in the same bug report; I wouldn't have expected you to know how to file that properly. I took care of it.)

Since my msg at 14:29 PDT, I've done the following: + allowed images (good thought), cookies and pop-ups from metoffice.gov.uk. + cleared cache, removed cookies + restarted SM a second time (including the part in quick start) Between each of these steps I checked the Met Office site, with no success. I've also noticed that the selection tabs (weather, pressure wind etc) do not go green when I click on them, as they do with IE6. Relevant? Not sure where to go from here except to re-install Seamonkey. Have you actually tried 1.1.17?
Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a3 / current v2.0b1pre?
Version: unspecified → SeaMonkey 1.1 Branch
I don't know, Serge, I haven't tried. I 'm aware that a new / radically different Seemonkey has been released but I haven't felt sufficiently strong to try it yet! I am still loving 1.1.x. Does it make sense to try re-installing 1.1.17?
OK, I've just re-installed Seamonkey 1.1.17. And nothing has changed. Anyone got any ideas specifically for 1.1.17. I really think 1.1.x is great and don't want to change to a new browser.
Going to bed now - it's 23.40 here - and hope that overnight someone has a brainwave. Thanks...
You should try moving aside (temporarily) your entire profile folder. I'm not sure where, exactly, that's located on a Windows install, but I'm sure one of the SeaMonkey guys can tell you. Make sure you quit SeaMonkey first when you try that. cl
OK, I rebooted my system. I created a new profile. I tried metoffice.gov.uk on both profiles. Same result. Has anyone actually tried this with Seamonkey 1.1.17? (i.e. rather than some other version of SM, but with some core component relevant to 1.1.17)
Here's something very perplexing: Seamonkey 1.1.17 is installed on the machine I use here at work (running XP Pro) - and on it everything is fine. Seamonkey on this machine has two profiles on it, and both of them handle these animations fine. So where do I go from here? As you'll know from this thread, I've tried everything at home, right down to re-installing Seamonkey.
Did You install any extensions in SeaMonkey?
You mean on the machine at home or at work? How can I tell whether extensions are installed, btw?
He probably meant at home, but normally you know if you installed some extension in the past :). So if you don't know about any extension, you probably don't have one. I also have no good idea what's broken on your PC (other than maybe some personal firewall like Norton Internet Security or ZoneAlarm?) as you already tried a new profile and that did not help. For me the page works fine with SM 1.1.17.

Agree the animation is working fine these days(Seamonkey 2.0.12). Am about to download 2.0.14, so fingers crossed!
