I've used Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey 1.x for awhile and never once had a security problem so I'm really not concerned about this. SeaMonkey 2.0 alpha 1 and 2 still had much of the old UI including the old location bar, download manager and I believe the old password manager as well so would it be possible to get one of those, revert the "fix" for bug 270443 (the bad infobars) and update Gecko to the current version ? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
