Known Issues
This list covers some of the known problems with SeaMonkey 2.11. 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. Additionally, running MailNews with local folders and
POP3 mail filters may produce summary files that are not correctly read
by previous versions of SeaMonkey. If you decide to go back to a
previous version of SeaMonkey, you should delete the .msf files for your
local folders and POP3 accounts or repair the folders using the folder
properties dialog in order to avoid potential data loss.

There are others, so I'd recommend reading all of the release notes.
