Nadat versies 2.27 en 2.28 wegens problemen zijn afgeblazen, heeft Mozilla nu versie 2.29 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. Er is ook een eenvoudige html-editor aanwezig. In tegenstelling tot de Mozilla Application Suite wordt SeaMonkey door de community onderhouden, terwijl de SeaMonkey Council het onderhoud overziet. De lijst met veranderingen voor deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
