Download Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.8

Mozilla has released version 2.8 of SeaMonkey. Mozilla SeaMonkey is the continuation of the former Mozilla Application Suite and consists of a web browser and programs for e-mailing and reading news. There is also a simple html editor. Unlike the Mozilla Application Suite, SeaMonkey is maintained by the community, while the SeaMonkey Council oversees maintenance. The changelog for version 2.8 looks like this:
