Seamonkey

Mozilla Seamonkey is an all-in-one internet suite: Web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, contact manger, IRC chat client, and HTML editor.

Recent versions of Puppy come with Seamonkey as its default browser.

You can access the different functions of Seamonkey in these ways:

• Web browser: Menu > Internet > Seamonkey web browser, or click on the browse icon on the desktop.
  

• E-mail and Usenet reader: Menu > Internet > Seamonkey mail and news, or click on the email icon on the desktop.
  

• Contact manager: Menu > Personal > Seamonkey Addressbook, or click on the contacts icon on the desktop.
  

• Web page editor: Menu > Document > Seamonkey Composer html editor.

• IRC chat program: Open Seamonkey any of the other ways, then in its top menu go Window > IRC Chat.

I like Seamonkey 1.0* but some features that Firefox has were missing until I found these sites:

http://www.ironspider.ca/browsers/extmozilla.htm∞

"Here you can use an extension to add a Home button to the Seamonkey Navigation toolbar and hide your personal toolbar for more screen area."

"'Preferential' will allow you to run around backstage and make all kinds of advanced configurations to Seamonkey that are otherwise either not available or buried deep in the Seamonkey menu system."

"'Web Developer Toolbar' is a web developer's dream and if you want to see Seamonkey beat the pants off of that other big monopoly browser..."

Also this site has a fine extension just for Seamonkey that adds many features called MonkeyMenu:

• CTRL + T Opens a New Tab.

Seamonkey Composer Publishing
NOTE:
I noticed that MonkeyMenu is not compatible (already fixed - see the italic statements below) with extensions like StumbleUpon that add toolbars. When MonkeyMenu over-writes the Seamonkey UI it improves it a lot by adding many features but at this time 2/2007 it can't see other toolbar type extensions so if you use Stumbleupon or other add-ons that add toolbars you should test how you like it with a live cd.

http://markbokil.org/index.php?section=tech&content=c_linuxmonkeymenu.php∞

"...add about 28 buttons to the Seamonkey user interface, collapse any toolbar, add/remove search engines, have your font zoom size reloaded, and use the new Search box feature. Basically the extension revamps the browser UI making it easier and faster to use."

I'm running them now in Puppy 2.13 and they work perfectly for me.

There is also a link to an experimental extension installer/uninstaller.
Be careful using this as it may mess up Seamonkey.
