About a year or so ago I had some trouble with Firefox; it became very 
unstable and constantly crashed.  While I was working out what was wrong 
and getting it working again I installed SeaMonkey so that I'd have a 
working browser.  I wasn't impressed by it, at least not favorably. 
Among other things, it completely ignored its own setting to open 
external links in the current window and instead insisted on opening 
links from Thunderbird in a new window on Thunderbird's workspace, not 
the one SeaMonkey was on.  I asked about this on SeaMonkey's support 
forum and never got an answer; not even a suggested solution.  If that's 
the route Thunderbird's going to take, it's doomed AFAICT.
