Web Services, Web 2.0 & SOA: LABS GALLERY: SeaMonkey 2.0 Adds New Firefox Capabilities to the Old Mozilla Suite


While many users applauded the launch of the stand-alone browser Firefox, there was a significant community that preferred the Internet suite approach of the original Mozilla. SeaMonkey is a volunteer project within Mozilla dedicated to keeping the suite option available to users. With the release of SeaMonkey 2.0, that browser suite now has many of the newer features and capabilities found in Firefox 3.5. Users can have browser, mail, newsreader, chat and Web composer capabilities in one application, while still enjoying a modern browsing engine and the extensibility of Firefox.

  • Keeping Mozilla Suite Alive
    The SeaMonkey project is an effort to keep a timely and useful version of the original Mozilla browser suite alive, providing an option for those who want a browser, mail, chat and Web development package all in one.
  • Time Warp
    The browser interface of SeaMonkey 2.0 can seem like a bit of a time warp—back to 2004—but underneath that old Mozilla exterior are many of the modern browser features that users have access to in Firefox 3.5.
  • Add-on Capabilities
    With Version 2.0, SeaMonkey now has the same add-on capabilities and management options as Firefox, making it easier for users to add functionality to the SeaMonkey browser.
  • Closed Tabs and Windows
    As with Firefox, SeaMonkey 2.0 lets users easily find and restore closed tabs and windows. However, instead of being in a History menu, as they are in Firefox, the closed tabs and windows are located in the File menu.
  • Tabbed Windows in Mail and Newsreader
    A very welcome new feature in the SeaMonkey mail and newsreader client is tabbed windows, which make it much easier to open and sort through multiple messages.
  • Download Manager
    SeaMonkey 2.0 also benefits from the newer Firefox download manager, making it easier to manage and locate downloaded files.
