Known Issues
This list covers some of the known problems with SeaMonkey 2.3.3. Please
read this before reporting any new bugs.

    Data loss warning: If you use a profile with this or any later
version and then try to go back to SeaMonkey 2.0, SeaMonkey will rename
your history file to places.sqlite.corrupt and create a new
places.sqlite file, effectively resetting your browsing history. This is
because the internal format changed and the upgrade process only works
in one direction.

Which distro? If you are using Ubuntu & interested in helping test 2.3.3
packaging drop me a note directly. I'm currently testing 2.3.3 on Ubuntu
10.04, 10.10, 11.04, and 11.10.
