Perhaps. But the link I provided does include a bright warning: <quote> Warning! The SeaMonkey version for download on this page is a testing-only preview of the next generation of our Internet suite. Please test it carefully, it's not yet in a state where we can encourage you to use it for daily browsing and mail operations. For daily use, we strongly advise you to download the current stable release instead. </quote> And Karl stated: > I'm finding it won't render many newer webpages properly.

I've also switched all of my systems (with the exception of 2 test systems) over to 2.x, as even with it's outstanding issues/bugs, I find it *considerably* better overall than 1.1.1x. Again my opinion. But I get your point & do conceed that 1.1.16 is probably the safer choice for most new users... temporarily. However, in this case Karl is running "Mozilla 1.7.3" - SM 2.0x will install in parallel to his existing version and, therefore he should be able to fall back to/switch to his current version without issue. Further he's running an unsupported version to begin with: http://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/suite17.html ==== The Mozilla Suite is no longer supported and is affected by several known vulnerabilities fixed in newer Mozilla-based products. All users are urged to upgrade to a supported product such as Firefox or SeaMonkey. ==== Why bother with installing a lame duck from a non-supported version at this stage? _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
