Where did you get your original Seamonkey from, which was in /usr/bin/seamonkey? I don't use Mozilla, now Seamonkey, but Konqueror, Firefox, or Opera. I ask because according to my FC5 updates last night, this was the first time that Seamonkey was installed. Apt-get showed Mozilla being REPLACED, and Seamonkey as NEW.
I had been using seamonkey from extras. I think seamonkey got promoted into core as of yesterday, and as a result replaced mozilla, and created this fiasco as someone thought that creating a seemless transition for those still using mozilla was more important than for those who had been using seamonkey all along.
I have Sun's JRE installed, and have just tried a site that I know needs Java, both with Firefox, and my new Seamonkey, and both work ok. Same goes for the Internet radio site that uses Realplayer10GOLD. I hope you havn't had to re-setup too many plugins.
It was just a matter of copying them all from the old location to the new, so it wasn't too painful . -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ L. Friedman netllama@xxxxxxxxx LlamaLand http://netllama.linux-sxs.org
