The one single thing I'd like to see from Firefox incorporated into SeaMonkey is Live Bookmarks! I like Mozilla/SeaMonkey over Firefox for one single reason: MultiZilla. | The one single thing I'd like to see from Firefox incorporated into SeaMonkey is Live Bookmarks!

Why I prefer Seamonkey over Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird: | |||
<ul><li>Lower resource utilization—splitting up the applications does no good if you don't also share all the components across applications. They're already shared libraries; as long as the shared libraries aren't, you know, <em>shared</em> across the apps, it does no good if you use more than one at a time.</li> | |||
<li>Faster—As of right now, Seamonkey starts up and runs faster than Firefox.</li> | |||
<li>No less-is-better attitude—Firefox at least echoes a recent trend I've seen in the open source world where it's considered to be a good thing to lose settable preferences to favor usability for new users. I'm not a new user, and I want my preferences.</li> | |||
<li>Maturity—the Firefox folks are a little too gung-ho on increasing their marketshare and adding half-baked features (livemarks? ick) while not focusing on the core of the product. You have old bugs such as [[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47475|47475]] that are showing movement on Seamonkey but the Firefox people simply aren't interested in more "boring" featuresets that may have appeal for more people.</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
What I'd like to see in Seamonkey: | |||
<ul><li>More customizable toolbars—the ability to move around toolbars is pretty useful if you want to save some space.</li> | |||
<li>Extension manager—There's already an [[http://www.roundtwo.com/product/extensionuninstaller/|Extension Uninstaller]] extension available that can be used to manage extensions, but there's no real substitute for something like this built in—it doesn't make sense to be able to install extensions easily but find it difficult to uninstall them.</li> | |||
<li>Proper complex text layout support—Despite many efforts to get it right, complex text layout still doesn't work properly on X11 builds. There's an [[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215219|effort]] to get it working, but progress seems to have stalled. It'd be great to have it work.</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
