I get it Geko 60 is over 2 year outdated, but it blows me away that a 2
year old browsers engine is pretty much unusable in today's fast moving
world. One would think high use websites would be less dependent on new
changes. Sounds like SM is not going to ever catch up I guess. I'm
about to over half my web experience works on FF but not SM these days.
This reminds me of the Netscape 4.x days when I hung onto Netscape (was
it 4.8?) Way longer than I should have.
I think if I could figure out the side bar and how to easier do
selective cookie blocking and on blocking on FF I would move. The anti
tracking stuff and mostly improved privacy controls there are really
nice. A few plug ins I use here are not available there though so that
is an issue. I'll miss Image Zoom for the biggest loss and I prefer
Seamonkeys way to handle inline search.

Yeah, Facebook is slow and sluggish in SeaMonkey because of its older
Gecko engine (like Firefox v60). Same for other web sites like Twitter,
LinkedIn, etc. Some Facebook features don't work as well for me too. :(
I have to use other web browsers like the (lat/new)est Firefox. I refuse
to use Chrome and IE11.

Ever since the new facebook news feed it's been mostly unusable with
Seamonkey for me. I'm wondering if others are having these issues and
what we can do about it? Some examples. all verified not an issue in
FireFox.
1) If I open more than 2 tabs seamonky locks up and/or gives
unresponsive script errors. I have to force close with task manager.
2) Commenting does not open boxes so I get 1.5 lines as I type and
can't see what I type
3) Notifications truncate so I can't read the entire notification.
4) Graphics tools in the Business manager don't work at all. I can do
the function but it never saves. Other business manager functions
don't work correctly either
5) General slow and unresponsiveness.
This month I am getting more and more sites that don't look right in
SM that do in others or simply don't work. A lot of my business stuff
like Mailchimp, square-space and more have serious lost functionality
in SM. Not sure how much longer I can hang on to SM but I'm kicking
and screaming about having to move.--
