After months of using firefox, I still prefer seamonkey

[casioculture]

Seamonkey is the old mozilla suit that I used since mozilla was still
in its M stages. I first tried firefox once it was started, i think it
was phoenix 0.1, and got to install it time and again. Lately I thought
I ought to get used to it as seamonkey is being phased out, so I've
used it for several months now. I must say, I still prefer mozilla for
any serious web research tasks, and some of the reasons include...

1. Multizilla
2. Optimoz

And no, don't tell me about firefox extensions, tried them all. There's
really no equivalent for the power of multizilla.

Two things. First off, I prefer seamonkey too. On the Windoze
platform. On *nix, it's different. Firefox plus Evolution on Gnome is
<ahem> nice. Really, really nice.

Secondly, Seamonkey is not being phased out. It is being transitioned
over to a development team who will

- be separate from Firefox
- continue to use some of the same resources
- be shifting development over to /toolkit.

Of course, there is the possiblity that this effort will fail but,
c'mon: Let's not post the obit before we have a corpse. For more info,

Where can I get this Sea Monkey from? A Google search just brought up news
stories about it, no download opportunities.

It's actually Mozilla 1.7.7.

Thank you.

It's actually Mozilla 1.7.7.

www.mozilla.org

1.7.7 is the latest 'stable' version, but old, because it's based on
Mozilla 1.7.5 (released December 17, 2004) and only contains bugfixes
and security updates.

Get Mozilla 1.8 beta 1 here (released February 26, 2005):

I dunno...Mozilla seems like bloatware when I compare it to Firefox...

Mozilla includes a Mail/News reader and IRC as well as the browser. It
is optional to install these but it does add to the download size.

Try K-Meleon 0.9 based on Mozilla 1.7.5 without the "bloat".
