Patrick,
While everyone's comments are valid what I get is your using Mozilla
just for Composer?

Composer is ancient code that hasn't been maintained in a dog's age.
It spun off to the now abandoned Komposer/Nvu
That code was then abandoned and replaced with Blue Griffin.
http://bluegriffon.org/
Nothing much has happened with Blue Griffin for about a year now so I am
not sure what Daniel Glazman is up to these days.

If your wanting the composer like interface and heritage for composing
web sites than your best bet is probably to use Blue griffon or possibly
Nvu as it is much more up to date. 

Thanks for your advice. 
I downloaded Bluegriffon as you mentioned above but when I tried to use it 
there were more shortcomings than with SeaMonkey. For example, I could not set 
the size of text. Damn page I worked on was in its own separate sub window. 
There was much to dislike. Preferences are under tools menu, and quite useless.
What BG seemed to have are a shirt&trouzer load of bells and whistles I don't 
need or want. Setting text colors worked, but color change didn't change on 
screen, changing text size wasn't possible - it just shows black text only. All 
basic stuff this, but no, Youse Carnt Avvit. 

So, seems I have to un-install the BG.

Meanwhile, the SM 2.26 which I'd downloaded recently wasn't in my program files.
BUT, when I went Control Panel, add/remove programs, there it was, listed, so I 
might assume its what the PC is using, and not mixed up with other earlier SM.

Maybe I can muddle through by using whatever settings it takes in SM composer 
so I get ALL my pages to open up OK in Chrome, with same size text, and 
regardless of how it looks in Firefox or SN browser mode. 
I can't try Internet Explorer any longer because if I do, the PC freezes, and 
must be lotsa shit behind the scenes with goodness knows what malware, none of 
which could be removed by anyt-malware programs or AVG.  

I'll do a Google to see what else might work as WYSIWYG. I recall that someone 
here tried to get me interested FrontPage, and someone else said Opera, and all 
these ppl telling me things which were worse than plain old Netscape Composer I 
used way back in 2001 for the 3 pages which formed Edition 1 of my then 
primitive website.
If it wasn't better than Netscape, I would not use it. I know I'm a dope 
though, I've tried lots of stuff I just didn't get, like simulation programs 
for circuitry. Most are so terribly awkward to use, and so much MORE DOPEY than 
I am, hell, NO, just work it out like they did in 1955, maybe do a bread board 
test, AND THEN I knew far more about a circuit's function than any CAD program 
could predict. Wot Ya Test Is Wot Ya get.Brain in my head does the rest.   

Regards to all.
