> This still has the best SOCKS5 proxy abilities, even over normal Firefox

Could you please elaborate a bit on what exactly do you mean by that?

E.g. in Firefox one can do the following:

- Connection -> SSH -> Tunnels in Putty connection options.

- Add a dynamic tunnel there.

- Start the session.

- Then enter 127.0.0.1 and the chosen port as a SOCKS v5 proxy in Firefox options.

Congratulations! A poor man's VPN is ready.

An extension like FoxyProxy can be added for further convenience.

What can be done in SeaMonkey on top of that?
