I agree with you that 2.2 is a mess on several points. It seems like it is more
like IE than even Firefox.
Here is my question: Did you have any install problems going back to 2.1? I am
hesitant to just run the install file and hope it removes 2.2, as there have
been past glitches in the history of Mozilla/Seamonkey when it comes to
up/downgrading.
Things I dislike about 2.2: Password manager is less functional, the "Find"
function opens a new toolbar, rather than the old floating one that did not cause your
page to shift down, the query whether to remember passwords is awkward, 2.2 now
automatically runs a Javascript on a site I use frequently that was optional on 2.1 (it
messes up the formatting of text input), Composer does not display images correctly
during HTML editing, lots of little things that are just awkward or less functional.
Although 2.2 is probably more secure, and handles HTML better, its usability is
definitely lower. I also get the impression (no data) that it runs slower.
I have been a loyal user since the first Netscape, and hate to see Seamonkey
become homogenized just like the other guys. That's what Firefox (yuck!) is for.
Input is appreciated on the mechanism for rolling back to 2.1.
Thanks!
I would just download 2.1 and install it over 2.2, but I use Linux and I
know where my manual installation resides. The profile is not going to
change, so all my settings, bookmarks, passwords, etc., will still be there.
YMMV
