I am using SM 2.8 now... and was trying to wait until the next release,
but lots of web sites are not formatting correctly for me now, so I'm
thinking about upgrading and not waiting any longer. TIA for any
advice. :)

That is a pretty subjective question. As another posted said I would
back up my profile and try 2.17.1 or wait a few weeks for 2.19 (2.18 is
going to be skipped).
That said IMHO there are periods where certain things started to get
broken and there just does not seem to be enough people volunteering to
keep Seamonkey in a bug free state right now. Somewhere around 2.12 it
started to go downhill fast with bugs that actually affect me. I run the
current version but am more cautious than I used to be for this reason.
If you run older versions you risk security and other incompatibility
issues, if you run newer you risk increasing bugs. Hard call I know.
My advice for folks is never install a 2.X release unless it has been
out for a while. I tend to wait til 2.x.1 release or at least wait a few
weeks to know there are no major issues. 2.17.1 has been out a while.
