De Mozilla Foundation heeft de derde bètarelease van versie 2.1 van SeaMonkey uitgebracht. SeaMonkey is de voortzetting van de voormalige Mozilla Application Suite en bestaat uit een webbrowser en programma's om te e-mailen en nieuws te lezen. Daarnaast is er nog een eenvoudige html-editor. In tegenstelling tot de Mozilla Application Suite wordt SeaMonkey door de community onderhouden, terwijl de SeaMonkey Council het onderhoud overziet. De belangrijkste veranderingen die in deze release zijn aangebracht, kunnen hieronder worden gevonden.
