    Yes, but it probably won't never ever replace it. Seamonkey and
    Firefox/Thunderbird have different priorities and targets.
    As regards usability, HIG, plugins & extensions, and 'just-browsing',
    FireFox is a much better alternative to Seamonkey, specially for new users.

Right, well I have been using the Seamonkey browser for a while now and it seems that this browser has really suffered by the extra use of JS/Ajax on the new Racing Post site so I'm going to have to ditch it as a browser which is a shame as it has a number of features that I find very useful, mainly the built in mail and newsgroups function. ...
