SeaMonkey is a integrated Internet suite and the successor to the [[Mozilla Application Suite]]. The current stable version is [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.0.3/ 2.0.3].

== Features ==

SeaMonkey contains all the functionality of the Suite, namely: 

*Web Browser (Navigator)
*E-Mail Client (Mail and Newsgroups)
*HTML Editor (Composer)
*Address Book
*IRC Client (ChatZilla)

== Installing ==

The best way to install SeaMonkey is with your distribution's package manager. If it is not in the repositories, or you just want to do it manually, you can do it like this (you will need root privleges):

*Download the latest release from [http://www.seamonkey-project.org seamonkey-project.org]
*Extract the .tar.bz2 file into /usr/local/
*You can now run SeaMonkey with the command /usr/local/seamonkey

To give SeaMonkey an icon in the KDE Menu:

*Right-click on the K Menu button
*Click 'Menu Editor'
*In the dialog that pops up, right-click on the folder you want it in (usually Internet)
*Click 'New Item'
*Type the name you want to give it in the dialog box
*Now, in the sidebar on the right, type '/usr/local/seamonkey' in the 'Command:' box
*If you want, give it an icon by clicking on the big button in the upper right
*Now, close the menu editor (make sure to tell it to save changes)

The Mozilla Application Suite was a fully integrated internet suite based on the Mozilla codebase. As of March 10, 2005, the Mozilla Application Suite is no longer under active development, and has been succeded by [[SeaMonkey]]. (see [http://www-archive.mozilla.org/seamonkey-transition.html http://www-archive.mozilla.org/seamonkey-transition.html])

== Features ==
The Mozilla Suite provides you with a variety of programs integrated into one application, including:

* [[Web browser]]
* [[Email client]]
* [[Newsgroup]] client
* [[IRC]] chat client
* [[HTML editor]]

==Latest major release==
The latest major version of the suite is Mozilla 1.7. For more information about 1.7, see the:

*[http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7/ Mozilla 1.7 release notes]

==Tips==

===Importing and Exporting Bookmarks===
Go to '''Bookmarks''' | '''Manage Bookmarks''' | '''Tools''' | '''Import''' or '''Export''' (as the case may be) | Then save (or import) the .html file with the name you want to a directory of your choosing. You can do a similar process using [[IE]] if you want to import you IE "favorites" into Mozilla. IE does it differently though, you go to '''File''' | '''Import/Export''', then basically do the same as above.

=== Enabling JVM ===
A [[JVM]] is an application which executes java code, in Mozilla it allows you to view [[Java]] applets on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet internet]. To enable Java applets you must first install a [[JVM]] a variety of which are available:

* [[Sun Java]] - you most probably want Java2 Standard Edition [http://java.sun.com/j2se/]
* [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ef/ Electrical Fire] - This is a project linked with mozilla to develop a fast and [[portable]] JVM.

These instructions apply to sun's J2SE though may apply for other JVM.

Assuming you have a JVM installed you must find the path to the plugin directory most likely:

<tt>/usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32</tt>

(for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I386 i386] architecture, using your [[File manager]], have a look around the directory <tt>/usr/lib/java/jre/plugin</tt> if this doesn't apply to you).

Here there should be a file called <tt>libjavaplugin-oji.so</tt> you need to place a link to this file in Mozilla's plugin directory.

'''Single user:'''

<tt>ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin-oji.so /home/'''username'''/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin-oji.so</tt>

'''Multi user:'''

<tt>ln -s /usr/lib/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin-oji.so /usr/local/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin-oji.so</tt>

Now restart mozilla and try out a java applet: [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp]

==== Java webstart ====
[http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/ Java webstart] enables java applications to be run over a network or the internet. To enable Mozilla to handle these files (presuming J2SE-1.4.2 installed):

'''Edit'''|'''Preferences'''|'''Navigator'''|'''Helper Applications'''
Click '''New Type''' and enter details:
MIME Type - application/x-java-jnlp-file
Description - Java webstart
Open it with - /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_01/jre/javaws/javaws

Now you can try a webstart application, I recommend:

== Features ==
The Mozilla Suite provides you with a variety of programs integrated into one application, including:

* [[Web browser]]
* [[Email client]]
* [[Newsgroup]] client
* [[IRC]] chat client
* [[HTML editor]]

A standalone browser based on the Mozilla rendering engine, [[Gecko]], is available to the public under the codename: [[Firefox]].

A standalone E-mail client is also being developed, called [[Thunderbird]].

According to the official roadmap, plans are to replace the monolithic suite by a more modular package composed of at least the browser and E-mail client mentioned above.

==Latest major release==
The latest major version of the suite is Mozilla 1.7. For more information about 1.7, see the:

'''Mozilla''' was the original code name for the product that came to be known as [[Netscape]] Navigator, and later, Netscape Communicator.

Mozilla.org is a group chartered to act as the virtual meeting place for the Mozilla code. That group is overseen by the Mozilla Foundation.

The Mozilla Foundation, established in July 2003, with start-up support from AOL's Netscape division, provides organizational, legal, and financial support for the Mozilla open-source software project. For more information about the creation of the Mozilla Foundation, see [http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-foundation.html this].

Currently, the Mozilla Foundation oversees the development of [[Firefox]] and [[Thunderbird]], a web browser and e-mail client, respectively, which are based on the Mozilla code.

Mozilla may also refer to the [[Mozilla Application Suite]], the Mozilla Foundation's flagship product up to March 10, 2005, which has been superseded by [[SeaMonkey]].
