SeaMonkey is a web browser that shares much of the same base code as the popular Firefox web browser. It also contains an advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.
The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite". Whereas the main focus of the Mozilla Foundation is on Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, our group of dedicated volunteers works to ensure that you can have "everything but the kitchen sink" and have it stable
What's New
Version 2.6.1:
SeaMonkey-specific changes
Added support for the HTML5 "context menu" feature (contextmenu attribute)
Added Print Preview support to Composer
Added update channel indication to About SeaMonkey page (about:)
Mozilla platform changes
Added Type Inference, significantly improving JavaScript performance
By wanting to do too many things, I got the feeling that SeaMonkey ends up not doing anything properly, and loses people in the intricacy of its functionalities and support websites. I tried it for a long moment, then wanted to use the HTML editor, only to find that it didn't behave in a way I could understand and that there was not much help to obtain from the website. It might be a great tool for many people - although I think that as a free alternative, both Safari and Firefox are decent and updated very often - but sea monkey is a very complex world one has to learn its way into. I apologize to anyone if this comment is hurtful, I seem to have missed a point, but when I tried to access a "bug reporting" or "faq" or "suggestions" page, I was all the more lost and didn't feel like my feedback was needed. On top of a poor design, it meant the end for me. And I am still looking for a free, basic and simple WYSIWYG HTML editor...
One of the best all-in-one solutions for your online life, and even better it's FREE! From browsing the web, to doing your email, to simple website maintenance/updates/development - it's like a swiss army knife for your digital life.

The automatic scrolling of the questions on my favourite IRC trivia channel doesn't work in this version. I had to keep scrolling manually. No good to me so reverted back to 2.0.6 and all is well again.
Normally I am a Safari user, but I use SeaMonkey to do online Grad school work. It gives the illusion of being bare bones, but it is anything but. Setup is a breeze, the exact same setup as Thunderbird. Newsgroups format is very simple and setup with UMUC's servers went without a hitch. A very good multi-purpose app.
It's a lot faster and less buggy than version 1.1.18, but the auto fill forms function has vanished!!! There's some "work around" out there, but it looks like you need a degree to get it to work right. I sure hope this 'all-in-one' lives up to the term better with new releases. I'm a little disappointed with it. Though it sure comes in handy with all it's tools. The modern theme is much faster, though I must admit, both could be better. I still liked the Netscape look.
PW manager is pretty freakin' awesome! Mozilla is very cool.

i have only een using tiger for a few weeks and tried seamonkey because i didn't care for safari.
I'm pleased with seamonkey (v1.7) except for the fact you cant copy and paste. When I try to highlight text, as soon as I move the trackball (logitech marble) I get a menu that looks like I right clicked. The copy and paste works fine in other apps.
i found mention of this problem from 2006 but can't find anything recent. Is this a seamonkey bug or is it a logitech unintentional negative enhancement?
