    I'll echo this. SeaMonkey uses the same engine as Firefox, though currently stuck at the 52ESR level of Firefox due to wanting to continue supporting legacy add-ons, and it does run most Firefox legacy add-ons, sometimes with a little help.
    The UI is stable. The suite can also do newsgroups (not bad now that the spammers have moved on), email etc.

    Me too. Seamonkey is basically the version of Firefox that the hipsters forgot about - and thus forgot to f*** over with BS features and retarded UI changes. Can you imagine a Firefox where you don't need 12 different plugins to restore sane look-and-feel and default behavior? It's called Seamonkey. I didn't even realize how many of the plugins I used on Firefox existed for the sole reason of unf***ing the default settings until I made the switch. As parent mentioned, you can get most FF plugins running on SM, but I've found that beside ublock origin, you need almost no plugins...

      To you and the root commenter:
      If you look at the title bar of your browser, you'll notice that the M in SeaMonkey is capitalized.

      Additionally, SeaMonkey is a continuation of The Mozilla Suite, done by a volunteer team after Mozilla Inc. dropped support for the all-in-one thing.

      It includes an email module with address book, as well as an HTML editor that will do basic stuff.
      Back before SeaMonkey 2.0, Fabien Cazenave AKA kazé, the developer of KompoZer, said he would work on an update of SeaMonkey's HTML editor, but nothing became of that.
