Software Update: Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.23

Spread the love

Mozilla has released version 2.23 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. A simple HTML editor is also provided. Unlike the Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey is maintained by the community, while the SeaMonkey Council oversees maintenance. The list of changes for this release is as follows:

SeaMonkey specific changes

  • Download progress is now shown in the Mac OS X app dock icon.
  • EXIF orientation is now being used when displaying attached images in MailNews.
  • “This folder is being processed… to get messages.” alerts on active MailNews folders now identify the account or folder.
