SeaMonkey-2.42b8 and Thunderbird 45.8.0

(1/5) > >>

Dave Yeo:
Hi I've uploaded builds of SeaMonkey and Thunderbird built on the ESR branch using Bitwises Gecko code. They're 2 commits behind, so the readme and changelog haven't been updated to the same level as Firefox ESR and still require RUN!. They also only have the extra requirement of libvpx as well as possibly the nspr in the experimental repository (untested with the stable version of nspr, the experimental one was needed to build)
SeaMonkey is a special case as 2.42 was never released. I've backported a couple of patches and have more that don't apply, need to hunt through more bugs :) Both apps seem to run fine here though they seem to use more shared memory and SM is somewhat slow.
Not sure that Lightning will be automatically installed, it was here with an unpackaged binary. If needed I'll upload the XPI.

Neil Waldhauer:
I've installed and run both SeaMonkey and Thunderbird on a system that was already running Firefox 45. I did update nspr; I'm not sure that is needed.

Integration between Thunderbird and Firefox looks broken. Firefox 45 no longer uses Run!, but it appears to be required to make integration work.

Dave Yeo:
Here, where I've updated both thunderbird.exe and seamonkey.exe with dmik's patch for firefox.exe so run! is no longer required, thunderbird still opens seamonkey when I right click a link and choose "Visit in Browser" (required due to having thunderbrowse installed?).
This works both in eCS 2.0 and ArcaOS.
Have you changed the default web browser to firefox.exe? In ArcaOS, it is in System Setup -->Network-->TCPIP-->Default Applications.

Dave Yeo:
Here are updated exes for SM and TB that have dmiks patch applied and no longer require run!.
Backup the original exe, with the program closed and replace the exe and test. Note that the thunderbird.exe currently has a broken icon.
I hope to rerelease the packages next weekend once I backport some patches from SM2.44

Andreas Kohl:
Fixed the icon resources for both executables. Should be now compatible with most of the buggy display drivers used nowadays. Both executables are tested, but require now Warp 3, because I accidently removed OS/2 2.0 support. But I think nobody uses them without XUL.DLL which requires WSEB (4.5).

Btw. what's up with the diamond marker which is too huge in all mozilla applications now?
