SeaMonkey browser and multiple windows

Post by rich@det13.com »

This seems to be an issue with just SeaMonkey.
I go to a website and open multiple PDFs. If I close one then it closes the target window. It also closes the PDF from the 2nd window but does not close the window.

This does not happen in IE, Chrome or Firefox. The 2nd PDF window remains open with the document in those browsers.

I figure this must be an issue with something that they've done at SeaMonkey but figured I'd throw it out here. Is there some setting anyone is aware of that causes this behavior? Something about SeaMonkey itself?

Thanks

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the post - I would strongly suspect that this is an issue with SeaMonkey itself, as it Mozilla based and therefore uses the same plugin as both Chrome and Firefox (NPAPI plugin), so if they work fine, then it seems that SeaMonkey would be the culprit.

Also, do please be aware that we only currently support Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera.

Cheers,

Thanks for the reply, Will.
I figured it was a SeaMonkey issue and posted over in their forums as well, but was just fishing to see if anyone here had encountered it and had resolved the problem. The Chrome doomsday for the NPAPI plugin has us scrambling to find a replacement browser. Looks like we're off to the Opera next.

Hi Rich,

I am a Opera user myself for years now, and am even still using pre-chrome-engine versions.

Regards,
Stefan
