As also slower release cycle of SeaMonkey - compared to Firefox - I must confess. Well, one of those browsers that has been. So I always have been using and experimenting with strange browsers that only a tiny fraction even use, much less have heard of. That covers many things, including browsers. I prefer SeaMonkey over Firefox, but these things I have recently found out concern me to a degree. I don't know about you, but I have always been an 'alternative' type person. Testing must be conducted on Win95, Win98, WinNT, Win2000, Mac 8.51, Mac 8.6 and Linux Redhat 6.1. Printing functionality must be thoroughly tested across all tier 1 platforms. That's why I rather tend to cling on this general suggestion not to use them. Note - This Test Plan is a 'living document' it can be continually modified to conform to changes during the project. Although there is no sudden skyfall on day one of non-support, risks will increase as time passes.Īs I am not a developer myself, I don't have knowledge enough to evaluate the potential risks of using a certain non-supported add-on. I have got used to follow this rule of thumb that using non-supported software is a potential security risk - whether it is operating system, browser or browser add-on. This is my understanding of support, most importantly, providing some security patches or improvements on this aspect. In practice, older stuff has been around for long enough that it doesn't need fixing. It just means fixing stuff and answering questions on it.
