   I'm running this with OS/2 on a dual-core AMD machine and the SNAP video    
   driver and this is the first Firefox 4 that I've used that works    
   reliably, including the multimedia WebM videos.  Even the Print Preview    
   works and actually produces a good representation of what page 7 of a    
   multi-frame multipage html document will look like when printed.    
   Earlier versions would develop various multimedia and wps corruption    
   issues after being used for 3 or 4 sessions.  If the Sea Monkey version    
   is as good as the Firefox counterpart, I might actually switch over to    
   it for production.  I haven't seen any 100% CPU loading issue as other    
   posters mentioned...cpu usage traces stay at the bottom with occasional    
   little blips up.  Scrolling is very good...perhaps the best I've ever    
   seen with an OS/2 browser.  I have the 'smooth scrolling' button checked    
   along with the 'auto scrolling' button.
