Mozilla & Gecko clones "The first end-user release of SeaMonkey is now available. Seamonkey is the continuation of what used to be known as the Mozilla Suite; this release incorporates a number of features that we could get to know from the new releases of Firefox and Thunderbird. However, the integration between the applications is as tight as it has always been, for those who prefer this approach."

Because nothing pisses off programmers and motivates them more than some corporate ^$#@ telling them they can only do something one way? In the future Internet Explorer's unfortunate bundling to Windows may be looked upon as the browser that launched a thousand 'alternatives'!

I'm glad to see that the old Mozilla is alive and kicking under a new name. But if I am happy using Firefox/Thunderbird, and if I have a serviceable IM program, what will SeaMonkey do for me that my current set of apps won't?

The same thing in about half the RAM.

Took the words from my mouth...

As much as I like Firefox, it didnīt live up to one of its main goals that was to keep a small footprint (regarding performance and memory usage). Seamonkey is actually much more leaner than Firefox. I hope that the fine people behind Seamonkey continue the good work that they have shown so far for the foreseable future.

I'm packaging Seamonkey 1.0 for NetBSD pkgsrc. I'm using it right now, and it looks good. The good ol' Mozilla Suite, but with some nice additional features of Firefox & Thunderbird. Thanks!

I created a Firefox like theme for seamonkey if you want a nice alternative to old-school classic. You can get it here: http://markbokil.org/downloads/seamonkey/install.html

Does Seamonkey still support...

...the Microsoft (Compressed) HTML standard? Also known as *.MHT or MHTML files? I got hooked on those when Microsoft first introduced them and a few years later was quite dismayed to discover that Firefox had no support for them. I ended up doing a several week conversion process of trying to save these files as plain html or text files. If I'd have known that Seamonkey would be still around at this late stage I might not have bothered.

--bornagainpenguin, who recalls the utter lack of interest in supporting this as a format in the Firefox Bugzilla.

I'd like to see it the other way around: a Mozilla Classic theme for Firefox. :-)
