Whilst preparing screenshots for this post I managed to get Seamonkey to open pages from when I last used it three months ago.

If I accidentally close a tab whilst offline or want to go back to a previous page then this feature lets me do so without any issues.

No I don’t want to pay for data, that’s a monetary solution to a software problem. Many programs today seem to ignore the fact that much of the world doesn’t have reliable internet, or that people like to read stuff while on the bus. It lets you browse any webpages still in your browser cache when you don’t have an internet connection. I can’t overstate how useful “offline mode” is. Status bar network menu: enabling a proxy or “going offline” are only a click away: A little more on this right at the end of this post. This theme looks a little goofy and isn’t for everyone, but in the long term it has been the most comfortable and easy to use interface I’ve ever had in a browser. I’m using the LittleMonkey theme and a lot of other customisations to make it fit well on my low-resolution screen. There are occasional bits of anger and bile here, so bring a pointy object. This post reviews several alternative web browsers and email clients I came across whilst soul-searching the waters. I’ve fallen in love with Seamonkey and used it for many years, but external forces have been pushing me away. More importantly: it’s Firefox without the crappy bits and a lot of customisability instead. Am I missing something big here? And BTW, why does Mozilla have so many applications that are basically the same thing? Firefox and Mozilla browser? Thunderbird and Seamonkey? Sunbird and Mozilla Calendar? I think some reorganization needs to take place.Seamonkey is the community continuation of ‘Netscape’, notably being a merge of Firefox and Thunderbird into one application. It's served me well and I don't see the need to make the switch other than the RAM issue.

I guess in the meanwhile, I am going to stick with the Firefox/Thunderbird combo. And lastly, will I really notice a difference if I make the switcheroo from Firefox/Thunderbird to Seamonkey?

Much like the default theme in Firefox and Thunderbird. Next, are there some decent skins outside of the "Modern" look? I want something more attractive yet simple.

Speaking of which, I need to update my Ultimate Firefox Extension List For Junkies. First, can I have all my extensions and bookmarks that I have in Firefox? I rely way too much on my extensions to just give them up.

I guess I could save a little more RAM now that I think about it.īut here's the thing. But the argument made for Mozilla Suite in this IRC session, was why call the engine twice when both Firefox and Thunderbird when you can call it only once with Seamonkey? Good question. I'm glad I did, and I don't think I'm looking back. So, without much thought, I made the switch. Everything I was looking for in an application was there, or I could add it. When Firefox and Thunderbird came out, they fit like a glove. The big reason is its horrible themes, and its less than innovative features. I was never a big fan of the Mozilla Suite. Hanging out in IRC, I engaged with an interesting conversation about Mozilla Suite software, mainly Seamonkey vs Firefox and Thunderbird. Sometimes annoying, other times, entertaining, and sometimes, just sometimes educational. Religous, political, ethical and moral ideals can come flying right out of the bag. There are always interesting discussions in the Linux community, espcially those discussions that focus on open source software.
