    Who are the major players in the web application suite area?

      I'd say Opera, they have web, email and integrated clients for all sorts of stuff in one package.

      Also, IE+outlook express (yuck!)+msn messenger aren't really a suite, but they come from the same company :)

    It ain't FUD, bud. Firefox does have memory leak
    problems. It's still my favorite and primary browser,
    but the problems are real.

    If you use portable Firefox a lot you might want to look into Google Browser Sync. It keeps all your stuff synced across multiple browsers.

  4. I used to use Seamonkey... by coldmist · · Score: 2, Interesting

    and now I use FireFox/Thunderbird.

    Why? Extensions. I actually like Seamonkey better for tab options (Ex: Firefox doesn't honor the preference to open a new tab showing the home page.) and the overall integration (icons in the bottom left of the screen, ctrl-[123] to switch between browser/email, etc. Another one: One theme applies to the browser and email.

    However, I run Firefox and Thunderbird now for the extensions.

    But, I wish one theme could be used for both.

    I wish it had all the options (or honored the about:config options that do work, somewhat).

    If/when Seamonkey supports FireFox/Thunderbird extensions, will quickly go back to it.
