As a long time Firefox user, I decided to give its "cousin" a try, it's called Seamonkey, and I must say I'm very impressed so far. I thought Firefox was good but Seamonkey tops it.

It's a Web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editing made simple -- all your Internet needs in one application.

If you want to know more about it have a look here http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/

I have been using Sea Monkey for about 5 years, from when it was called Mozilla, and I find it to be superb, and prefer it overall to Firefox.  It has the advantage of a built in mail client, which saves the need for a separate Firefox / Thunderbird configuration.  I swear by it, and would recommend it to anyone, and on machines I have built for friends / family, I have 'removed' IE and set Sea Monkey as the default browser and mail client.  Nobody has complained about not having IE yet!

I prefer the standalone Firefox simply because I do not need the email client, but seamonkey makes sense if you want both, I have tried Opera on so many occasions as well but always ended up removing it, I love its features and interface but I don't need three browsers when one will pretty much do, and Opera has so many hassles with Gmail and other google apps and my online banking and a few other sites including my Yahoo email, I just don't want to keep swapping what I browse in to be honest  >:( I wish  more sites were coded so  that the standards compliant Opera worked as it should, having to make so many single site alterations for me spoils a great browser with its great mouse gestures, so for now I will stick to Firefox, Ironically the safest browser at this time is IE7 on Vista with its almost sandboxie like features, but for me Vista is a service pack away at least  ;)
Damned, if you do damned if you don't
