Presumably this is the old one?

I've been using this link to a "Pilot" search engine which seems to be
very good (searches less restrictive)...

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#start

I guess this is the new one (haven't really tried it)..
https://www.familysearch.org/

That's right. The pilot uses flash which gives it its odd navigation -
the Back button on the browser doesn't do what you'd expect. Initially
it gave warnings about an unsupported browser but worked. The new one
just doesn't work with Seamonkey 1.x which remains my preferred
browser/mail/news client - in which latter respect it works better than
S/M 2.x according the to recent discussion on threading problems.

I've just tried to browse the Norfolk images on the new site using three different browsers - SeaMonkey, Firefox and Safari. None will load the images.

    ... Right, well I have been using the Seamonkey browser for a while now and it seems that this browser has really suffered by the extra use of JS/Ajax on the new Racing Post site so I'm going to have to ditch it as a browser which is a shame as it has a number of features that I find very useful, mainly the built in mail and newsgroups function. ... I then ran through the SunSpider Javascript Benchmark Utility which performs a number of Javascript tests in the browser and compared the Seamonkey results to the IE8 Beta results. ... I then decided to perform the same tests comparing Seamonkey to Firefox 3 as this guy has done and was amazed to see a x6.42 jump in performance which means Firefox is roughly x2.8 times faster than IE. ...
