SeaMonkey 2.5 has been released. Users that like their browser brimming with features plus the kitchen sink should rejoice. Based on the relatively recent Firefox 8, which has already been updated to Firefox 8.0.1, SeaMonkey 2.5 doesn't really bring anything new in terms of specific features.

The big new things in SeaMonkey 2.5 come straight from Firefox. These include a new checker for add-ons installed by third-party software, which now get blocked at startup unless the user specifically chooses to continue to use them.

SeaMonkey 2.5 also brings better support for HTML5, in particular the video and audio support. Firefox 8's launch details should be a good guide to what's new in SeaMonkey.

As for specific SeaMonkey updates, there are only some minor bug fixes and patches. You can get the full list in the changelog.

SeaMonkey 2.5 is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

It's not so that SeaMonkey is based on Firefox – it's based on Gecko!
