SeaMonkey 2.5 crashes on OS/2 Warp 4.52 14.106_W4
« on: July 19, 2026, 08:03:24 pm »
I tried to install SeaMonkey 2.5 on my Warp 4.52 Pentium 4 machine (14.106_W4) kernel but it will not connect to most website.  It gives a failure to connect screen.  It will not even connect to localhost where I was using it to configure a printer.  I updated libvpx and installed the remaining legacy files I did not have.  I will attach the error log.  Thanks

Well, that it started shows you have all perquisites installed. Newest is 2.42.9 so not sure what you are running though it appears to be 15 odd years old.
Enter about: in the URL field and enter. Copy and paste the user agent string here.
Things to try, open SeaMonkey, go to Help-->Restart with Add-ons disabled and retest. Try a different profile, Tools-->Switch profile will bring up the profile manager where you can create a test profile.

Are you launching E:\seamonkey\seamonkey.exe or e:\seamonkey.11808\seamonkey.exe?
Anyways, try putting the attached seamonkey!lg.exe (unzip to get it) in your seamonkey 2.5 directory and launch that and test.
Edit: Actually attach file

Dave,  is 2.5 or 2.42.9esr the newest?  I had 2.42.9esr installed which was working fine.  I thought 2.5 was probably newer.  When it first started up there was a message indicating that the user agent switcher was not compatible.  I thought perhaps that was no longer needed.  Thanks

Thinking about it, 2.5 isn't going to load any HTTPS sites due to too old TLS, SSL etc anyways.

Kevin,

I recommend you install the symbol files from

  http://www.warpcave.com/symbols/pmmerge_sym-xqs-14.106.zip

into the directory where pmmerge.dll is installed.  This might help us better understand why seamonkey is trapping for you.

Based on the exceptq report

 PMMERGE  183f0000 00001000 02/13/2007 17:52:00  1,270,499 E:\OS2\DLL\PMMERGE.DLL

you are running an unpatched 14.106 version of pmmerge.  Please run bldlevel to verify this.  I may need to provide a set of symbols files that more closely matches what you are running.
