Hi!
Is SeaMonkey ever going to get new v1.1 version or is v1.1.18 it?
Just wondering since Mozilla doesn't update and support Firefox
v2.0.0.20 that SM v1.1.18 is based on.
When KaiRo gets back from his holiday, we will re-look at the situation.
Basically Mozilla itself had abandoned the Gecko 1.8.1 platform some
time ago but we were still getting some security fixes from Linux
vendors who continued to upstream their fixes for a while. This seems to
have dried up. We are trying to get a reply from the contact
representing the consortium of Linux vendors that have long lived stable
branches to see how much longer they will maintain this Gecko branch or
if it has been abandoned completely. Unfortunately I fear that the
latter is the case.

So were stuck with this ver 2, reminds me of a problem we had with a
Netscape version way back, also a ver 2 I think or was it ver 3?
Netscape lost a great deal of support and ground to ie after that
particular disastrous version.
Does anyone know of another Browser suite that allows multiple profiles?
Sorry for pointing to the obvious, but do you have any serious reason to
drop SM 1.1.18? I cannot imagine why you consider yourself stuck with
version 2. Going back to SM 1.1.18 should not be difficult, even if you
did not save your profile before going to SM 2.0.
It will be a long while before SM 1.x is so outdated that it cannot be
used reliably on the vast majority of sites. Safety is not either a
serious issue with the normal array of protections serious surfers use.
So the time you will spend restoring SM 1xx will not be wasted time.
I go back to Netscape 3.2 and do not remember a disastrous version ...
but I cannot say I tried them all. I believe you might be referring to
6.x when AOL interfered with Netscape.
I never move to a newer version without making sure I can return to the
previous one and I am sure I am glad I did so for Vista!
Ya you're correct, it was version six, I have used Netscape since the
beginning, I could not remember, only that there was a very disastrous
version, believe it or not I was so anti ms then (for killing my
browser) I stuck with it until last ver 7 upgrade, ver 8 was not used by
me, then went to Mozilla, I need/want the multiple profiles. If I recall
Netscape skipped version 5? I have returned to SM 1.1 until someone
wakes up and includes migration of all profiles. I have always kept my
profiles separately as soon as I knew how to.
