Keeping Mozilla Suite Alive

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

SeaMonkey 2.0 also benefits from the newer Firefox download manager, making it easier to manage and locate downloaded files.
