This thread seems to be winding down but I wanted to make one last plea for the restoration of form manager, if SM's only claim to fame is to slowly being reduced to "we"re firefox and thunderbird combined", what's the point? Those of us who have been Netscape users forever use these "little" unimportant parts. I hope someone can rectify this situation, but if not let me express my appreciation for all who over the years gave me a browser I loved...
I'm sure I will miss it.

If you don't want to be bothered with actually developing one. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
