I must disagree about killing SeaMonkey. I consider SeaMonkey's user interface to be far superior to Firefox's. Furthermore, SeaMonkey retains much of the user tailoring that has been removed from Firefox. For example, I maintain four different profiles on SeaMonkey; for Firefox, the Profile Manager is about to be removed or already was removed. -- David E.
