[NTLUG:Discuss] Firefox 43 makes for dangerous browsing

[Greg Edwards]

I've been happy with SeaMonkey.  I especially like the all-in-one 
approach.  The only annoyance that I've had is that allot of websites 
that test for bower flag it as unsupported.  Most of the time if 
Firefox is supported SeaMonkey is support.
