I am also finding browsing to be very slow in general as well, with rather large pauses in activity noted quite often, even on http sites.

News servers that require logging in.
Hello. I do not leave my account names and passwords in SeaMonkey v1.x for security reasons. I do manually log in with them like on GigaNews. However, SeaMonkey seems to forget often in the same SeaMonkey session. I can understand that it will prompt again if I were to exit and relaunch SeaMonkey, but why does it keep forgetting even after a few seconds? I do not have this problem with e-mail servers. Is anyone else having this problem too?

sites load slowly because of ads
Don't know if anyone has discussed this before. With the increased reliance on web ads for revenue, sites are cramming more and more ads on their web sites. Most of the news sites I go to have their ads hosted by webservers other than their own. Sometimes, some of these sites are slow -- or don't serve up the ads at all (even our beloved doubleclick sometimes) resulting in the final news page taking for ever to load. There was one local news site requiring a completed reload of every ad for each slide in a slideshow. Even had a Shockwave video loading each time (and that was of the lower portion of these screen). Now who is going to scroll down off a slide in the slide show to watch a video? Sheesh -- what are they thinking? Where's the beef?

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 Completes New Feature Set
Less than 8 weeks after the first beta, the SeaMonkey team released SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 today, completing the planned feature set for the next generation of the successful Internet suite, with a final 2.0 version expected next month. Building on the great heritage of the Netscape Communicator and Mozilla Application suites, SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 combines a state-of-the-art web browser based on the same core as Firefox 3.5.3 with a solid email and newsgroups client and a simple HTML editor, rounding the experience with web development tools and IRC chat. In addition to the changes in the first beta release, this version features: - tabbed mail, enabling accounts, folders and even single messages to be opened in tabs inside the Mail Newsgroups window, as well as enabling the Lightning extension to be installed into SeaMonkey for calendering functionality. - a completely renewed default theme on Mac OS X to better fit with the look of Leopard and Snow Leopard, - reopening of closed browser windows (Undo Close Window), - introduction of simpler interfaces for extension developers (SMILE), - and a large number of other, smaller improvements. The release notes include a detailed list of improvements in comparison to SeaMonkey 1.1.18, our current stable release. We welcome any and all discussions on this beta on our newsgroups, or you can even file a bug if you find one. Be sure to check our known issues prior to filing bugs. SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2 is available for free download on the SeaMonkey website. Once you have downloaded and installed this release, we'd like to encourage you to get involved in discussing and reporting problems as well as further improving the product. Thanks for testing and helping us to make SeaMonkey even better!

Noticeable lags when opening up Mail Newsgroups and new browser windows.
Hello! Lately (since earlier today), I noticed my SeaMonkey v1.1.18 seems laggier/taking longer to finish opening/rendering up Mail Newsgroups (shows nothing on the right frame at first) and new browser windows (missing bookmarks in toolbar and blank page at first). It takes about 2-3 seconds long on my Intel 8200 quad-core system in my updated XP Pro. SP3 box! I narrowed down this to AdBlock Plus v1.0.2 extension. I did not have this problem with each separate scenario: 1. A brand new SeaMonkey profile. 2. Removed ABP extension (disabled ABP extension and filters still show the lags). 3. Unable to reproduce this on my Debian/Linux box. That box doesn't use IEview (already tried without it in Windows XP Pro. SP3 box). The only significant changes I recalled earlier was adding XP's files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai) and reboot. I removed them and rebooted, but still have this problem. I already tried clearing caches, history, compacting e-mails and newsgroup posts, deleting XUL.mfl file, reinstalling SeaMonkey v1.1.18 over the old one, etc. Does anyone know what's up?
