Many of us hope that Firefox code will NEVER be in SeaMonkey. That's why we use SeaMonkey and not Firefox. What you want is SeaMonkey to include the latest Gecko rendering engine. Gecko is the component that interfaces with the Internet, sending requests to Web servers for HTML and other files, and displays the results. Several Mozilla products and non-Mozilla clones use Mozilla's Gecko. These include Firefox, SeaMonkey (but an older version of Gecko), Camino, and Thunderbird. There is, of course, another problem. Some (too many) Web sites "sniff" for what browser you are using. They sniff for Firefox when they should instead sniff for Gecko. This means that those Web sites are displayed okay by Firefox but not by SeaMonkey or Camino. There are several different work-arounds for this. I use the PrefBar extension to "spoof" Firefox (make the Web server think I'm using Firefox when I'm actually using SeaMonkey). There are other extensions with similar spoofing capabilities. -- David E.

You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
