32 <application>SeaMonkey</application> is a browser suite, the Open Source
33 sibling of <application>Netscape</application>. It includes the browser,
34 composer, mail and news clients, and an IRC client. It is the follow-on
35 to the Mozilla browser suite.

39 The Mozilla project also hosts two subprojects that aim to satisfy the
40 needs of users who don't need the complete browser suite or prefer to have
41 separate applications for browsing and e-mail. These subprojects are
42 <xref linkend="firefox"/> and <xref linkend="thunderbird"/>. Both are
43 based on the <application>Mozilla</application> source code.

346 Along with using the <quote>Preferences</quote> menu to configure
347 <application>SeaMonkey</application>'s options and preferences to suit
348 individual tastes, finer grain control of many options is only available
349 using a tool not available from the general menu system. To access this
350 tool, you'll need to open a browser window and enter
351 <systemitem role="url">about:config</systemitem> in the address bar. This
352 will display a list of the configuration preferences and information
353 related to each one. You can use the <quote>Search:</quote> bar to enter
354 search criteria and narrow down the listed items. Changing a preference
355 can be done using two methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value
356 (True/False), simply double-click on the preference to toggle the value
357 and two, for other preferences simply right-click on the desired line,
358 choose <quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating
359 new preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
360 <quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
