@banjomarx It isn't what you'd call mainstream these days.
When Mozilla killed Mozilla-the-product to focus all their resources on Firefox and Thunderbird, a group started maintaining it under the name Seamonkey(which had been an internal codename for Mozilla-the-product).
It is still Gecko-based, and still uses the Mozilla-the-product interface, which is only slightly diffrent from the Netscape 4 interface in most parts. As an old fart that used to use Netscape 4, then Mozilla-the-product, it is a modern browser with an interface I'm comfortable with.
(Netscape 6 and 7 were also based on Mozilla-the-product. So was Firefox, for that matter, though Firefox has long passed the point of being "a fork of Mozilla", in the same way that Chrome is far past "a fork of Safari")
