I've used Seamonkey in the past, and really liked the way I could work on my 'personal'
website with the software. I stopped using it when it was declared "obsolete"
a few years ago.
I am being forced to abandon Firefox, which I've been using for around 15 years
now (and really liked, until the later iterations). I work from home, and
absolutely CANNOT have software automatically install updates and force me to
shut down (without being able to access another website to alert people). I've
tried all of the tricks I could find to prevent automatic installation of
updates, but nothing has worked, and I do NOT want to loose my job because of
the programmers refusing to listen to reason.
(1): Can I LOCK OUT automatic installation of updates? I MUST be able to
choose when updating happens.
(2): How up-to-date is Seamonkey kept? I already have strong security on my
system, but need to avoid security holes.
(3) How easy is it now to migrate Bookmarks, passwords, and so on?
(4): "Bonus" question - is the composer still part of Seamonkey?
I started using internet apps first in OS/2 then Win, now mostly Win.
Linux has never presented it self as the solution to any problem I have.
I use the suite for most everything and FF sites where SM doesn't work.
I have had Pale Moon linked to Fossa, but am not currently using them.
The composer works. I have over a hundred filters. I don't know what
"old" or "supported" has to do with anything.
Since Netscape 1.0 I have never "installed" any Netscape derivative
using anything but ZIP distros. The suite has never offered or tried to
"update" for me. FF offers and I just tell it no. I add newer versions
alongside the previous and if I decide I like the newer better I delete
the older. Yes, I know to be aware of bookmark issues.
