I use SeaMonkey, with javash*** disabled. Uses much less resources, and, 
less likely to crash.

I use Fartyfox for stuff that requires javash***, and, in that, I have a 
number of security and privacy add-ons; I think, for SeaMonkey, I have 
only the Bluhell firewall add-on and the English-GB dictionary. I have 
and use multiple other web browsers, including Epiphany, Vivaldi, and 
Pale Moon (which I have not used for a while), but, mainly use SeaMonkey 
and Fartyfox.

For email, I use Tbird as a webmail kind of application, for viewing and 
responding to recent email, and, for downloading email, storing, 
archiving, and, responding to old email, I use the most powerful email 
application that I have found; alpine, previously known as pine. I use 
claws mail for one of my email accounts that does not have much throughput.
