okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about the Linux User's Manual page for seamonkey, and honestly? it's giving legendary. ✨

✨ NAME ✨

seamonkey — an internet application suite (browser, mail, etc.)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

seamonkey [OPTIONS] [URL]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, SeaMonkey is an all-in-one Internet application suite — and when we say all-in-one we mean it, no cap. Netscape and Mozilla made this whole vibe popular back in the day, and it's still serving. 💅

what's in the box? literally everything:

• an Internet browser 🌐
• an advanced e-mail, newsgroup and feed client 📧
• a calendar 📅
• an IRC client 💬
• an HTML editor ✍️
• and a tool to inspect the DOM for web pages 🔍

it's derived from the application formerly known as the Mozilla Application Suite. glow-up of the century, fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

a summary of the options supported by seamonkey is included below. yes, all of them. we don't skip. 👑

💻 X11 options

• --display=DISPLAY — the X display to use 🖥️
• --sync — make X calls synchronous
• --g-fatal-warnings — make all warnings fatal 💀 (dramatic, but okay)

🧜‍♀️ SeaMonkey options

• -h, -help — show summary of options. hi hello, help is here 🫶
• -v, -version — print seamonkey version.
• -P profile — start with profile.
• -profile path — start with profile at path.
• -CreateProfile profile_name — create a new profile in the default directory, but do not start the application. the profile will be named profile_name in the profile manager, and profile_name must not contain spaces. do not run profile_name while running an instance of the application — you can use the -no-remote option to avoid connecting to a running instance. (read that again, bestie, it matters 🙈)
• -CreateProfile "profile_name profile_dir" — the same, but creates a new profile in the profile_dir directory. note that profile_name and profile_dir are quoted together, and are separated by exactly 1 space.
• -migration — start with import wizard (if you have proper import sources).
• -ProfileManager — start with profile manager.
• -no-remote — do not accept or send remote commands. implies -new-instance.
• -new-instance — open new instance, not a new window in a running instance, which allows multiple copies of the application to be open at a time.
• -safe-mode — launches the application with all extensions disabled, for that launch only (extensions are not loaded, but are not permanently disabled in the extension manager data source).
• -headless — runs SeaMonkey in headless mode, which is very useful for purposes such as debugging and automated testing. 🤖
• -addressbook — open the address book at startup. 📇
• -compose [url] — compose a mail or news message. options are specified as string "option='value,...',option=value,..." and include: from, to, cc, bcc, newsgroups, subject, body, message (file), attachment (file), format (html | text). example:

to=john@example.com,subject='Dinner tonight?'

• -jsconsole — open the Browser Console.
• -purgecaches — Gecko (layout engine) has a JavaScript cache, which is not reset on startup; this clears it. 🧹
• -edit [url] — start with editor (composer) for the given url (optional).
• -mail, -news — open the Mail&News folder view.
• -mail url — open the message specified by this url.
• -offline — start with the offline mode. this option will only work if SeaMonkey is set to "detect automatically" the online/offline status on startup. to set this, go to Edit -> Preferences -> Mail & Newsgroups -> Network & Storage and in the "Offline" group choose "Detect automatically (if available)" in the "When starting up:" drop-down box. (iykyk 🫠)
• -suiteconsole — open the Error Console.
• -browser — open a browser window.
• -private — open a private browsing window. 🤫
• -new-window url — open url in a new browser window.
• -new-tab url — open url in a new browser tab.
• -url url — open the specified url.
• -chrome chrome_url — load the specified chrome.
• -register chrome_url — register the specified chrome, but do not start application.
• -search term — search term with your default search engine. 🔎
• -preferences — open Preferences window.
• -remote command — execute command in an already running SeaMonkey process. for more info, see: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html
• -silent — don't open default windows. useful with those command-line arguments that open their own windows but don't already prevent default windows from opening.
