Well it feels like I'm home

I have found what used to be the Mozilla Application Suite,
Browser, Mail, News, Composer etc all in one and I have installed
it.

Faster than Firefox and better than Thunderbird it now has the
wonderful name of SeaMonkey.

Anyway here it is Linky

I wish I'd known about this sooner

I'm going to try the browser only but hard to believe it's really different
from Firefox..

From what I gather, it is more stable too. Not that I had that
many problems with Firefox.

It doesn't have the Web Developer tool bar available for it, which
is a downside, nor does it have integrated search. But I can live
with both of those.

viewing this page with SeaMonkey now - nice, but can't
see any real advantage over Firefox. for example, clicking
the mouse wheel won't open links as new Tab and this
alone make browing less fun.
I'll stick with Firefox for now.

I guess it's just preference. I always stuck with Mozilla, until it
disappeared and then I went to Firefox to avoid IE. So I'm glad
I found it again

And anything that helps kick Microsoft in the browser area is
good as it will mean that they need to keep improving IE. Which
as we know is used by the vast majority of Windows users.

why not Opera? Safari? you have so many browsers available,
what made you choose Firefox?

The Mozilla "Brand".

I've tried Opera and too many sites didn't work with it. I
tried it again recently and it's OK, but not great. I can't
put my finger on why though.

I thought Safari was Mac only. I may have to take a
look at it.

I have also tried konqueror on Linux and while it is OK, it
is not available for Windows.

I like to experiment with different browsers in the hopes that
I'll find the perfect one

I fear you'll get disappointed my friend. like with women, there
is no such thing as "perfect browser". something will always
bother you and interfere with the delicate relationship.

Ah. But as with women, there is much joy in the search

hmm... that's correct.
