It might help if you explained what the problem is. I am not having
problems with SeaMonkey.
Well, speaking personally:
- an awful lot of web pages take forever to load, and a slow page load
freezes the entire program - I have to force quit the browser at least
1 or 2 times a day, and look at pages in something else
Not my experience, despite me having a rather large number of
extensions, and I also *know* my profile is not 100% clean and pure -- I
identified 2 or 3 issues that don't occur in a clean profile (one of
them being that I was unable to use newsgroups in the main profile
without SM crashing). If there were a systemic instability, I think I
would have noticed it, since my main profile is already pretty fragile.
- features seem to break from release to release (security exceptions
for IMAP servers w/ private certificates, sync seems to have stopped
working of late - to name just two)
It's not so much "broken" than "Firefox changed them in the shared code
and reimplementing them in SM in the new way is a lot of work."
Take Sync: when old-style Sync was replaced by Sync2 (the one that
requires a Firefox ID), the Firefox team removed the code from Gecko
that allowed one to create/join a sync, but they kept the syncing co. So
in order to establish a sync you have to temporarily downgrade to SM
2.25. After the sync is established, you can upgrade to the current
version and it keeps working.
I haven't been active in the group over the last few months (that
profile problem I mentioned above), so I have no idea how is going the
work to solve the situation.
