Hello all,
Since one year ago I have been observing some Seamonkey
features/functions
to stop working and no fixes being provided to them, as follows:
1- Empty message pane opens by itself after marking a message as junk
in the messages list
(Bug # 986874, opened on March 22, 2014 and still unresolved)
2- After clicking on the "Show remote content" button from a received
e-mail message,
and adding its sender to the "allowed" list, the yellow alert
stripe pops-up again
like as nothing had been done.
3- When selecting a newsgroup message to be opened in a new tab, it
appears as a blank page.
The reason for writing this is that in every release I always see new
functions being added,
but I think it would be nice to fix previously working (and now
broken) functions also.

Thanks to all who responded/confirmed the mentioned bugs.
After further testing I have found that downgrading to version 2.22.1
solves them all :)
A lot of us are holding out on 2.26.1. Newer than .22 and before most of
the latest round of PITA bugs started. You might want to try that.
With a good AV program and updated Acrobat/Flash/Java the
"vulnerabilities" are not really a big issue IMHO. Most issues come
from sources other than the browser.
They do?
Eighteen critical security vulnerabilities fixed since 2.26.1, still
there for hackers to exploit, not protected by AV programs.

If you check malware statistics, you often find viruses listed there
that exploit known vulnerabilities that have already been patched.
These kind of attacks are successful because user systems are not
patched.

Theory is all well and good. Real world experiences are more important.
I am way more than aware where the company I work for has issues, where
my IT friends find issues and where most home users run into exploits.
Browser exploits in the real world are minimal and one of the least
sources of real world problems. It is like spending all your time
worrying about a dripping faucet while the dam has a 10' hole in it.
Acrobat, Phishing, Java, Flash cause way more problems than browser
exploits in the real world. Most issues, honestly come from user ignorance.
