Mozilla Releases SeaMonkey 2.0

Posted by timothy on Thursday October 29, 2009 @06:48AM from the little-people-in-fishbowls dept.

binarybum writes "Often forgotten, but the independent open source spirit lives strong in the once Mozilla project — now SeaMonkey. Version 2.0 is finally out and rivals Firefox with similar features but integrated email with a small footprint." The Register has a short piece on the 2.0 release, which mentions that SeaMonkey is now based on Firefox 3.5.4. Stephen Shankland lists some of the features in a handy bullet-point style, too. I'm using the new release right now; it's crashed once — but only once — in several hours of use.

I'm using the new release right now; it's crashed once -- but only once -- in several hours of use.

In other words, it's even less reliable than the IE I'm reading this on?

Time to give SeaMonkey another shot!
No thanks. I tried it when I was a kid. They are just brine shrimp. Nothing special, definitely not monkeys, and don't waste your money by giving them another shot.
