ME, too. I am running 2.0.14 because of all the negative comments of the
versions after that. I am running HP desktop, 6gb memory 750gb hard
drive, Windows 7. I know there has been a great deal of "be sure to do
this/that before you upgrade" so I have been hesitant to get away from
2.0.14. Am I getting left behind with security issues, better features,
new options, etc?
Yes, you are getting left behind. What you aren't getting:
- Any security fixes in Gecko since Firefox 3.5.x was end-of-life'd in
April 2011.
- Any improvements in Gecko rendering since Firefox 3.6 was launched in
January 2010.
- Any user-interface and other fixes since Seamonkey 2.0.x was
end-of-life'd in June 2011.
- The Places bookmarks system (which dates from Firefox 3, but was kinda
"left behind" in the Toolkit transition for Seamonkey 2.0)
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Faster Javascript
- Personas
- Full-screen playback of Theora video
- WOFF web fonts
- Improved support for HTML5, CSS3, WebM, and WebGL.
- Numerous security enhancements
I am also still running 2.0.14 because of all the negative comments of
the versions after that. And I'm still hesitant to an upgrade.
I'm also comfortable with the security since SM is not the only
software on my computer that protect me. I don't miss any of the
"features" in the new versions, but I would miss the add-ons I have. I
don't have many, but they are important to me.
I'm not afraid to be "left behind", but Seamonkey and Mozilla
software's may be left behind by me if the mess with the upgrades
continue.
I may need to change to other software's where I don't need to
struggle with them after every upgrade, before they work as they
should from start. Abd who has the user in mind when they are developed!
