Thanks! :)
With SeaMonkey? Seems not. See below.
I have a late 2007 20" iMac, 2.0 GHz Intel C2D, OS 10.5.8, SeaMonkey
1.1.17.
Installed Apple-supplied OS 10.6, right over my 10.5.8, and an hour
later, all was well...
SeaMonkey works like a champ! So does everything else!
Any other questions, please ask. So far, all is well here in SL-land!

Wow! that's great, Keith!
I've read that users had a lot of problems with firefox so I just
expected it would be even worse with SM, as there are fewer SM users
(at least that's what I assume). I appreciate your feedback. So, did
you install Snow Leopard and then reinstall SM 1.1.17 or did the new
mac OS permit you to use your already installed SM version?
Thanks!
:)
I didn't protect SeaMonkey in any way.
Nor did I remove any of the previous OS. I backed up my internal HD
first, then installed SL direct from the DVD Apple sent me.
When SuperDuper! 2.6 finished backing up, I tried to boot from the
external Backup Drive, as I've done in the past. I had originally
intended to install SL on it, and use it instead of the internal drive
for a while, to see how SL behaved. Sort of saving my iMac's internal
drive "just in case" something weird happened.
However, a warning screen showed up, saying I could not install SL on
the Backup drive, because it "doesn't use the GUID partition table
scheme." This is something new to me...
That threw me a bit, so with little other obvious choice I decided to
install 10.6 on my internal drive, right smack on top of 10.5.8, and
take a chance they'd get along without fighting!
In sum, it installed very well, no glitches, and after the OS was
installed, I started up my previously installed SeaMonkey 1.1.17 and it
acted like nothing had happened at all!
Good luck. I do like Snow Leopard so far. It's crisper acting, and I've
had no problems at all.
And, BTW, for those uaing the older MS Office 2004, I utilized Power
Point yesterday to view an old photography .pps site, and it worked
flawlessly! Under 10.5.8, PP had been a bit spastic and not always
responding in the manner I expected. Yesterday, no problem at all.
So far, so good!
Today I'll open up Firefox 3.5.2 and see how IT gets along with SL!

Keith, did you include the optional Rosetta as part of your SL install?
