Seamonkey 32-bit

I see Seamonkey is still offering their latest release also in 32-bit, an official package on the official site. Maybe a better option for 32-bit users instead of downloading other 32-browsers (which may still be available) from some third party who is trying to keep other 32-bit browsers going (not official releases though).

Sadly seamonkey struggles with the "big" sites like snoopbook and youtube.othwerwise it as a superb browser in all the other areas.

It may be true and probably the reason for this (which is a real pity) is that Seamonkey releases always seem to lack relatively way behind corresponding Firefox release versions (which it is based on). So whilst a 32-bit version may still be available it's based on an older Firefox. So probably also just a matter of time before 32-bit release will stop like it did with Firefox. The fact of the matter is that Seamonkey is actually Firefox (at core level). Yet- still lovely to be able to download the latest official 32-bit release from the official site as we stand.

Okay, haven't used it for ages. Difficult to get Firefox going with an old Puppy. Seamonkey 32-bit should be around for longer then.
