Mozilla Delivers SeaMonkey 2.0

Mozilla is out with version 2.0 of its SeaMonkey hybrid browser and email platform, based on Firefox and Thunderbird. There is a long list of additions to the new version, which you can peruse here. SeaMonkey didn't use the exact same core as the Firefox browser before, but now shares the the core of Firefox 3.5.4.

Mozilla Fixes Firefox Flaw, But Needs New Security Practices

As we reported on WebWorkerDaily yesterday, Mozilla has issued critical security advisories that affect several of its products, including versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, and SeaMonkey. Late yesterday, Mozilla released a new version 3.0.1 of Firefox that patches security flaws, and you can download it now. You can also get the new version, if you have Firefox 3 running, by clicking on the Check for Updates option on the browser's Help menu. What's still due from Mozilla, in terms of fixes, and what's missing from the security practices the company followed here?
