mozilla.org — Following the Gecko security update releases a few days ago, the SeaMonkey project has issued new security and stability releases today for its all-in-one internet application suite. SeaMonkey 1.1.1 is now available for download, fixing several security vulnerabilities, along with a few issues reported on SeaMonkey 1.1.

Stupid question, but why would I use this instead of Firefox and Thunderbird?

I found Firefox in linux to be much more stable and significantly faster by using the Firefox provided on mozilla.com as opposed to binaries provided by the repo.

I'll give it a shot; I think I am going to switch over to this from Firefox/Outlook for a while. Can anyone suggest any good/compatible themes or extensions?

I use Portable Firefox from PortableApps(<a class="user" href="http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable)">http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable)</a> in WindowsXP and in Suse with Wine. This version is much liter and faster to the regular Firefox. Takes less memory. After using this, I started using other apps from ProtableApps.

I use Seamonkey. I prefer the look, the way I can google in the main toolbar (no moving my eyes over to the separate, too-small search bar), and the way in-page search is done. Don't forget you can use the nightlies ( <a class="user" href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk).">http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk).</a>

Anyone who's enthused to be using the latest (1.5a), here are the nightlies: <a class="user" href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk">http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk</a> They've been pretty stable for me; the occasional bit of rendering difficulty is all I've encountered. On the other hand, it doesn't have anything too exciting over 1.1.

Why does the digg summary say 1.1.1 was released today when it was released in February? Puzzling.<a class="user" href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/">http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases/</a>

Suites have been left by the wayside, and most use separate programs. Seamonkey, however, is still excellent for mini-Linux distros and old computers.

one more item...to get firefox to launch those mailto: links in webpages with thunderbird add the following line to firefox's prefs.js file:user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", "/usr/bin/thunderbird");' or:user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mailto", "/usr/local/bin/thunderbird");'

I still use the old Mozilla suite which pretty much all the features this has like the mail client, irc client, "The composer" (~WYSIWYG editor), and the address book. The only thing wrong with it is that they don't update it anymore!

I heart SeaMonkey. Much more swift than FireFox, and it's a good all-in-one software package. Modern theme does what it needs to do for graphic presentation, and I'm still tinkering with all the plugins to view Flash and such.
