Internet Suite for Intel OS X 10.7 and up

[wicknix]

Much like the SeaLion browser, BrassMonkey is a fork of SeaMonkey built upon UXP for older Intel Macs. This time you get the full suite. Browser, E-Mail client, News/RSS reader, Composer, Address Book, and IRC client all wrapped up in to one app. Not sure why i didn’t post this here years ago. Better late than never right? ;-)

Excellent work, @wicknix , I have to admit I have a proclivity for the Mozilla suite, makes more sense to have a single application opened since I need Mail opened anyway and you can just CMD+N to open a Browser tab. Not using Composer or Chatzilla, but Browser + Mail is a solid package. One thing though, are you planning to do 10.5 PowerPC builds or will Brian Smith keep doing them?

Oh, and as a bug report, I have a problem in all the new UXP "creations", PowerFox, WhiteStar, BrassMonkey: sometimes, like .... let's say 30% of the times I do CMD + Q, the application just crashes on exit. The crashes occur randomly on random actions too, but not too close together (considering I'm using Mail + Browser about 4 hours per day, I'd say I get a crash per day, maybe two). But CMD + Q is a pretty safe way to trigger the crash.

Any ideas? Are you interested in a crash report (I have ReportCrash disabled but I think the crash files are still generated.

I have been using this suite for a few years now on my cMP1,1 & 09 mbp el cap install. Works great and the mail client is awesome.

Thanks @wicknix !

Are you interested in a crash report

Sure. Attach it here, or on my github as an issue. If i can’t figure it out i’ll pass it on to the UXP devs for inspection. Thanks.

I don’t have the build environment to do those. I’ll contact dbsoft and see if he’s interested in pursuing it or not. I know he has other plans with the UXP code those guys worked on porting to PPC. The PPC build of BM is very “Beta” as are the other PPC builds, so expect that there might be some issues in the current PPC release.
