I did this. I tried it for 90 days. I tried real hard. But, I
switched back to Seamonkey and I don't plan on trying to go back to
FF/TB any time soon.
The first reason was simple utility. Seamonkey is built for people who
are experienced at using the Internet and don't need their hand held. I
was frustrated with many of the Firefox/Thunderbird "features" that have
all the utility of Microsoft's Clippy.
Many of the useful new features that Firefox has, Seamonkey 2.0 now has
anyway. Session restorations was one that I appreciate greatly.
Another reason was, believe it or not, stability. Firefox 3.5 crashes a
lot (GNU/Linux user here), and I experienced a large number of bugs that
really annoyed me. Google the subject and you will find many many
complaints.
Thunderbird was okay. I was annoyed by the way attachments were
displayed, and plenty of window real-estate was wasted by goofy UI
design stuff, but it worked.
My real trouble was Firefox. Believe it or not, some pages that worked
with Seamonkey didn't work or worked badly with Firefox. Wellsfargo.com
banking is one that I can specifically remember as having trouble. Other
preference issues and annoyances just made it a huge pain. It wasn't
worth it to be treated like I had the Internet savvy of a newb or
80-year-old grandmother by Firefux.
Some of the bugs in Seamonkey 2.0 mail have me down, but I'm aware of
the issues and causes there. They will get resolved. Mostly issues
with searching folders and some goofy cache issues. Very minor stuff.
You're experience may be different. Good luck to you.
Thank for this experience .. so i would probably first experiment SM 2.0.2
