DoctorBill,
Secunia says do it.
Mozilla SeaMonkey Multiple Vulnerabilities
(http://secunia.com/advisories/19649)
Quote: Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla
SeaMonkey, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass
certain security restrictions, disclose sensitive information, and
compromise a user's system.
This is also true of FF, TB and the Moz suite. The latest builds
evidently address these exploits which were introduced in FF 1.5, TB
1.5 and the previous version of Moz (1.7.12?). Netscape 7.2 has other
issues, but evidently not this one.
National Cyber-Alert System - Vulnerability Summary CVE-2006-1729

As of this release, TB 1.5.0.2 hadn't been released.

I just upgraded FF and SM. Pretty painless, actually. TB was another
matter. I went back to TB 1.0.7.

Yea, but this is DoctorBill we're talking about. If you've followed
his postings in the Net7 newsgroup, then you know what I mean. I
don't know what it is, but Bill seems to attract trouble or maybe that
should be problems. Everytime he installs something or tweaks
something, strange things happens.
[Bill, don't take offense to what I said. Its supposed to be said in
fun and humour ;-) O:-) :-D ]

Yeah, I thought about that, but what I forgot to mention was that Bill
is just getting started with SM, and has only started installing
extensions. ISTM, it might be easier now rather than later. Just a
thought.

Oh are you correct gwtc...!
I just got into the Stock Market and bought some USO stock a
few days ago. THEN it tanked Friday! I swear that I have
my own personal 'Black Cloud' that follows me around.
As to the NS 7.2 - after much "tweaking", I had it working
just great. I had a DOS Batch file loader that did what I
wanted and I had all those 'Bells & Whistles' in it working
just fine. "Tabbed Browsing" "Preferences Tool bar"
"Remove Redirects" "Forced Remember Passwords" "History
Button Removed"
Now some of those (tabbed Browsing) is not working as of old.
Progress......
I changed because NS 7.2 started acting screwy again.
Would start loading and get stuck. Had to "End Task" it,
then restart it a second time to get it to load. Every time
I turned my computer on, had to go thru that ritual the
first time I'd start NS 7.2.
My 'Black Cloud' was back!
So here i am with SeaMonkey - starting all over!

I have a new 'Wireless' Keyboard and Mouse combo
(MicroInnovations with newest drivers loaded) that often
won't capitalize the "I", so you'll see when i write that it
is 'i' and not 'I'.
The mouse cursor pops to the corners and I have to wiggle
the mouse to get it back to where I was using it.
Progress.....
My Monitor is getting old and needs degaussing a lot.
"Brightness" isn't so bright anymore. Contrast is fading.
Guess the electron gun is wearing out.
Wish I could afford on of those neat 19" Flat Screen thin
jobbies for $250! I'm 63 and teach Chemistry 100 and 161 at
Spokane Community College as an Adjunct and can't afford the
goodies anymore...
Too much information?

There are vulnerabilities in SM 1.0, and there appear to be additional
undesired behaviors in 1.0.1, so take you choice.

To clarify "additional";
SeaMonkey fixes several vulnerabilities in 1.0; so don't think 1.0.1
just adds more on top of what is in 1.0.

Additional, as in "wasn't broke in 1.0" features. I never had a problem
with the application just exiting without error message while opening a
web page by following a link (and it's not repeatable on the same page
so I have nothing useful to report). I have checked for OOM and that's
not the case.

Bill just seems to be experiencing a problem that no-one else is.
There's a very good chance you will not experience what he is
experiencing. Use the latest version of SeaMonkey, and drop Netscape 7
and the Mozilla Suite.

Given that I see it on small slow machines, and large fast machines, on
Slackware, CentOS, FC4 and FC5, with 2.4 and 2.6 kernels, and it doesn't
happen with the old 1.0 version or the 1.5a I pulled just to see if it
told me anything, I doubt that it's something no one else is seeing...

I'm not saying it isn't a bug. It may be; I don't know.
But right now, you are the only one reporting it; and I cannot confirm
it on my set up (SM1.0.1/WinXP). It may be specific to Unix systems.
