puppy-development - issue #58

Facebook Chat wont work with Seamonkey 1.x (all puppy versions so far)


Posted on Nov 30, 2009 by Helpful Ox

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Open Facebook 2. Click on the "chat" icon in the bottom right 3. Attempt to send a message

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Chat is expected, instead the screenshot below is reproduced

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

4.21, 4.31, assumedly other versions also

Please provide any additional information below.

Facebook chat does not work with the standard puppy install. A window does come up when the facebook chat button in the bottom right of the screen. If I install Seamonkey version 2 from the main seamonkey site, then this error does not occur.

I don't have an active facebook account but this may help On the page right-click and choose New -> String. Named it "general.useragent.extra.xfake" (w/o the quotes) and give it a value of "not Firefox/2.0.0.18" (w/o the quotes).

there are some addons that may work if you follow this instruction: http://pascal.vanhecke.info/2007/10/22/firefox-extension-not-compatible-with-browser-flock-mozilla-seamonkey-version-what-to-do/
