guys i need help

the latest version aint working for me

my os is mac os x 10.9.5

What kind of ain't working?

not launching

at all

gives me a -10810 error when i launch it from terminal

and when i launch the binary directly, it gives me "XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/XUL:

dlopen(/Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/XUL, 265): Symbol not found: ___NSDictionary0__

Referenced from: /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/XUL

Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation

in /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/XUL

Couldn't load XPCOM."

so i have no idea whats wrong

maybe it needs to be compiled from source ON 10.9, but the previous version works fine

so i really dont know

IanN_Away it used to work in ff till last 2 upgrades

still works in konqueror,falkon even the cell ph.

and the cell ph has ff

It's a reported behaviour?

0121|19:42:39 <+tomman> who's asking for thinner laptops?!?!?!?!? <-- there has to be a way for laptops to compete in the swiss-army knife business, that can't happen if they're not thin enough to be usable as knives

Oh, finally found an addon that broke: Flashblock is no longer blocking videos :/

time to dig up why (and hopefully, fix it!)

(yeah, that now means I'm vulnerable to wasting bandwidth and autoplaying video crapola, including... JWZ's blog)

speaking of that guy: jwz.org/blog/2023/01/mozilla-orgs-25th-anniversary

happy b'day, Mozilla! Too sad you're dying :/

@frg_Away thank you I did the first suggested workaround and it's work again

why does 2.57 work for me

but not the latest stable?

time to look why Flashblock died

"Replace obsolete GetStringBundleService call in SeaMonkey bug 1794400."

could be this?

<stringbundle id="bundle_flashblock"

var flashblockBundle = document.getElementById("bundle_flashblock");

nothing useful on the error console

oh, found something!

Error: TypeError: flashblockEvent.getPreventDefault is not a function

Archivo fuente: chrome://flashblock/content/videoblock.xml

Línea: 95

it's right on the function that verifies if the site is whitelisted

bug #707677

tomman rings a bell. Let me check

getPreventDefault() has been deprecated for years, it seems - we should be using defaultPrevented instead

found a few instances on Flashblock's XML bindings

tomman this is super ancient. Bug 691151

This is not standard and has a standard alternative (defaultPrevented property).

should be an easy fix then, time for testing

tomman well canÄt say I am happy with breakage but it is hard enough backporting without the baggage and keep at least a default level of compatibility.

yup, indeed that fixes it!

frg_Away: can't be surprised anyway, considering that Flashblock has been abandoned upstream for almost 10 years!

yeahh

but hey, at least it now gets to live for another day~

I had forgot how terrible is the abuse of autoplaying video

tomman I am keeping media.autoplay.enabled alive. Has been mutilated and baically removed by mozilla in later releases. Now some mumbo jumbo like in chrome where it autoplays if you just did it in the past based on obscure user input on the site.

^basically removed

frg_Away: the problem is that media.autoplay.enabled is not enough

sites will still load the video

in my case bandwidth is scarce (and sometimes even metered, for example when my DSL dies and I'm forced to fallback to spotty 4G)

Flashblock blocks video completely, not a single byte will load unless I tell it so

tomman you can block media with uBlock which I do. Everything > xxx bytes is blocked.

(I'm sure adblockers achieve the same, but I don't want full-fat Ublock)

Genaker try the latest WG9s 2.53.16b1 pre build. if it does not work it is possibly end of the line for 10.9 becuase we needed to switch to a later macOS sdk.
