Hi!
I am new here so please excuse my naivette. Does Sea Monkey use the
firefox "rendering engine"? If yes, what does it take to use the latest
Firefox 4 and combine it with thunderbird code base to give best of both
the worlds in Sea Monkey?
I had earlier used it but found it to be slower than FF 3.6 so dropped
the idea. With release of FF 4, I am excited to use "ALL IN ONE" app.
What is the way forward?
Thanks!
With SeaMonkey 2.1x and later, it's easy to know which Firefox version
is built on the same version of the Gecko rendering engine as your
current SeaMonkey version: if you have "Advertise Firefox compatibility"
ticked in your "Advanced / HTTP Networking" preferences (which is the
default), you'll see the equivalent Firefox version mentioned on the
last line of Help => About SeaMonkey, for instance like this:
* Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.2a1pre)
Gecko/20110327 Firefox/4.2a1pre SeaMonkey/2.2a1pre
This is the latest "bleeding-edge" nightly I'm using, and I'm happy with
it; but as Robert Kaiser said, there are unfixed bugs in it --
apparently in parts I'm not using, but YMMV. For slightly "more
conservative" testing, SeaMonkey 2.1, equivalent to Firefox 4.0, also
includes this "Firefox version" feature. Its "beta 2" version (SeaMonkey
2.1b2) has been released around Valentine's day, or you can get the
latest SeaMonkey 2.1 nightlies from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-2.0/ (or
latest-comm-2.0-l10n if you want menus & messages in some language other
than United States English).
Best regards,
Tony.
