#8290 — 2.53.23 is out

2.53.23 was done earlier this month but because of moving the infra to another 
provider it was delayed. A bit unfortunate because it fixes some critical 
regressions reported for 2.53.22 but that is life. Give it a try and have last 
years or news years fun. Updates are not yet enabled.

Hi frg.

My problem with OAuth2 token on a MS365 mail account is still knocking me.

SM Mail popup can't complete the process of getting a new AUth2 token: it stalls on login (dot) microsoftonline (dot) com (slash) 
someotherthings [where i could "hack" the screen to pass it with Browser console], and most important, on m365 (dot) cloud (dot) microsoft 
(without .com) (slash) someotherthings [where i only can obtain a blank screen].

That way, SM Mail can't get a new OAuth2 token, so i can't get/send new mails. I can only read old mails before old token expired.

Anyway... Happy new year for all.

The page with SHA1 checksums has problems.  It appears that some CR-LF
(or LF-CR) are missing.

Some Republican officials have denounced the assassination
of Charlie Kirk as a conspiracy by liberal Democrats.  Why
then is the attempted kidnapping of the Democrat governor
of Michigan, the shooting of a Democrat state senator of
Minnesota, and the assassination of the Democrat speaker
of the Minnesota state assembly not denounced as a
conservative Republican conspiracy?

I've installed 2.53.23.  So far it's working at least as well as
2.53.21, and I've managed to get through a couple of CAPTCHAs that
didn't work before.

One thing that still doesn't work is typing a request directly
into DuckDuckGo's search bar.  However, a workaround is to type
search parameters into Seamonkey's address bar and click the
search button.

We're moving in the right direction - the number of sites where
I have to use Firefox has gone down slightly.  Good work, and
a happy new year to all.

Interesting.  I have encountered no problems with DuckDuckGo.com  t 
works as expected.  BTW I'm using MacOS 14.7.5 Sonoma M1 iMac.

For me, the appearance of DDG's search bar changed, as did its
behaviour, about a month ago.  Now if I fill in the DDG search
bar and hit enter, Seamonkey's status bar displays "Waiting for
improving.duckduckgo.com" and it hangs there.  I was running
2.53.21 when it started, and it is the same with 2.53.23.

I'm running Debian Bookworm; uname -a displays
Linux cjglap2 6.1.0-38-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.147-1 (2025-08-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux

What DDG search bar?? I have DDG set up as my preferred Search Agent 
(Edit -> Preferences -> Browser -> Internet Search -> Default Search 
Engine) so, whenever I enter a topic I want to find out about in my SM 
address bar and hit Enter, away SM goes and presents me with a group of 
websites that fit  my topic.

If I go straight to the DDG site (https://duckduckgo.com), I'm presented
with a screen that has a search bar in the middle.  Normally I just type
my search request there and off it goes.  Now, however, there are two
buttons displayed above the search bar (below the DuckDuckGo logo);
one is labeled "Search", while the other is labeled "Duck.ai".
Neither of these buttons do anything under Seamonkey.

I have never used the buttons on the DDG screen; I just type my request
into the DDG search bar and hit <enter>.  As of the recent change to
DDG, I can no longer use its search bar in Seamonkey.  DDG's home
screen has changed.  However, if I access DDG from Firefox 141.0,
the original DDG home page appears, and I can type a search into
the search bar on this screen and it works.

If I type my search request into Seamonkey's address bar and click
the "Search" button, everything works normally; I've made this my
new procedure.  But it's strange how DDG's behaviour suddenly
changed under Seamonkey, even though I had been using 2.53.21
all along.  And what's this improving.duckduckgo.com URL?

Unable to replicate with 2.53.22/Win 11. I don't see the two buttons you 
mention, and the search bar works as expected.

I tried reducing the window size, but nothing changed. I do see lots of 
stuff below the search bar, but nothing above it. The DuckDuckGo logo is 
left of the search bar, and there's nothing directly above it. There is 
also a "(+)Duck.ai ≡" button at the top right. Below the search bar is 
an invitation to switch to DDG (set as default search or download the 
browser), followed by a variety of explanatory and promotional materials 
if I scroll down.

Interesting.  That's exactly what I see when using Firefox 141.0.

Maybe I have something (a setting or an add-on) that is affecting
things.  It occurs on both my laptop and my desktop machine.
Selecting Tools->Add-on Manager from the Seamonkey menu on my
desktop machine gives the following list:

    Adblock Plus 2.8.2
    ChatZilla 0.23
    DOM Inspector 2.0.20
    Lightning 6.2.23
    NoScript 2.9.0.14
    True Full Screen in Seamonkey 1.1.5

All are marked as disabled.

On my laptop, I have the same add-ons except for Adblock Plus,
and NoScript is version 5.1.9 and is enabled.

I would sugtest uBlock Origin too:

https://github.com/UCyborg/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy

ABP is completly outdated.

I added a custom toolbar between the main and personal toolbar just for search 
under the re. Easy done in SeaMonkey.

Many thanks for the link to Ublock!  I've been looking for a version to 
run on seamonkey for a long time.  I hope it works out well.

Thanks.  Unfortunately, I don't seem to have Github-fu.
I was able to add uBlock Origin to Firefox using its
"Extensions and Themes" menu entry, but when I went to
Tools->Add-ons Manager in Seamonkey I couldn't find it.
Am I not holding my tongue right?

Github is a PIA.  Here's what seemed to work:

Don't use seamonkey (don't know if it would work or not). I used firefox 
for this, but others are probably similar.
Go to:

https://github.com/UCyborg/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/tag/1.16.6.1

Scroll down to assets. The first one listed is 
uBlock0_1.16.6.1.firefox-legacy.xpi

Now, RIGHT-CLICK and select "save link as".

It will download the XPI file.  Worked for me, maybe you will have luck too.

Thank you for that, I also have no github-fu at all but that worked (and 
that link fails under my Seamonkey, it can't load the "Assets" part).

(Replace "tag" with "expanded_assets":

The problem here is:

It's not available in Add-ons Manager.

When you open this page
https://github.com/UCyborg/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases

SeaMonkey can't open the Assets where the .xpi install file is hidden.

It only works with Firefox/Chrome.

Try clicking this direct link or copy/paste into a browser window:

https://github.com/UCyborg/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/download/1.16.6.1/uBlock0_1.16.6.1.firefox-legacy.xpi

ciao..

I tried your link and it says addon is corrupted, etc. As I posted a few 
hours ago ...

Use firefox,  seamonkey is still too broken to work on github

Go to:

https://github.com/UCyborg/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/releases/tag/1.16.6.1

Scroll down to assets. The first one listed is 
uBlock0_1.16.6.1.firefox-legacy.xpi

Now, RIGHT-CLICK and select "save link as".

You must use "save link as", or you'll get the error message.

Hope this helps.
