I’ve been using Netscape and then Mozilla as my main web browser for a long time. I’ve never been crazy about Internet Explorer and, for a while at least, it seemed to have a lot of security problems. \"SeaMonkey.png\" Recently, Jeb added Snap Shots<\/A> to his page. It seemed like a neat thing, so I added it to mine as well. But as I browsed I noticed that if I tried to go Back in my browser, I didn’t go anywhere. If I held down the Back button to see a history of pages, there would be about 3 copies of the current page in the Back history. So I took the code out of my pages rather than have to deal with that (although I have been getting a similar thing on My Yahoo when I would get information on a stock in my portfolio).<\/p>\n


\nThis morning Jeb put the Snap Shots code into my web pages anyway, I am sure not realizing I had already tried it and didn’t like the problems it was causing with my browser. I tried Internet Explorer and didn’t have this problem. So I thought maybe I should upgrade my browser. I had tried Mozilla’s Firefox a few years ago, but it caused some kind of problem, so I uninstalled it. Plus the Mozilla suite included an e-mail component that I use for my SpeedFactory mail, and Firefox was a browser only. For a while I think they stopped development of the Mozilla Suite, so I was stuck with my Mozilla Suite from 2005.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless I visited Mozilla to see what they were offering these days. Their suite is now called SeaMonkey. I downloaded it this morning and the transition was pretty seamless, with my e-mail coming over along with bookmarks, cookies, etc. Really about the only difference seems to be I have a new icon in the upper right and pages take longer to render (I’m hoping that is just because my cache is refilling). Also when I write blog entries it underlines misspelled words. Or words it thinks<\/I> are misspelled, like Jeb, uninstalled, and SpeedFactory. And the duplicates on Mac5 and My Yahoo are no longer there. Yay! (also misspelled)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
