Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[troothteller]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120715 Firefox/14.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.11
Build ID: 20120715041107

Steps to reproduce:

In logging into SeaMonkey Mail & Newsgroups, frequently it either does not remain logged in or it crashes before completing the login.


Actual results:

This problem began since recent Java and Flash Player updates.  SeaMonkey crashes after first trying to log into Mail & Newsgroups.  It often requires more than one attempt at login.  It either will not stay open or will not permit login.


Expected results:

It should have stayed open and allowed paging from one message to the next.

As a test (& this would pertain to all of your bugs) ...

Create a new, clean Profile, no extensions.
Open News, log in ...

Any problems?

If so, then disable Plugins, restart your browser & retry.
Edit | Preferences | Advanced -> Scripts & Plugins => Enable Plugins for, Suite (uncheck).

Go to about:config
make sure that
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled
is set to true.
if you have something like
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32_11_2_202_233.dll
make sure it is also set to true.
Latest Adobe flashplayers have a protected sandbox mode that crashes if Out of Process Plugins is not enabled. Note latest

To answer Mr. Chee, I do not find any of the items he named.  Just now I implemented therube's suggestions.  So far SeaMonkey is slow.

Under the new profile, without addons or plugins, I can log into Mail, but browsing is slow.
