Download Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.1 alpha 2

The Mozilla Foundation has released the second alpha release of version 2.1 of SeaMonkey. SeaMonkey is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite and consists of a web browser and programs for e-mailing and reading news. In addition, there is a simple HTML editor. Unlike the Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey is maintained by the community, while the SeaMonkey Council oversees maintenance. The main changes made since alpha 1 can be found below.
