When that profile is launched, there is a red bar just above the view port with the message Your copy of SeaMonkey is old and probably has known security flaws, but you have disabled automated update checks. Please update to a newer version. To the right of that message is a Check for Updates button. This occurs whether all 15 extensions I installed in that profile are enabled or I launch in Safe Mode. This happens only with the guest profile and none of the other three profiles, all of which are running from the same SeaMonkey version. I cannot see what I have configured differently between this guest profile and my usual default profile. Please suggest what I might check to resolve this. No, I do not want to upgrade and experience Password Manager problems.

Given there were 83 days between consecutive SeaMonkey versions 2.26.1 and 2.29, is not 90 days a bit tight? Also, I installed SeaMonkey 2.29 on 7 September. Then I removed it by reinstalling SeaMonkey 2.26 on 9 September, which I then updated to 2.26.1 on 25 September. (See my signature below for why I did this.) Thus, it was less than 90 days since I last installed an update. Suddenly, the problem has disappeared. My guest profile and one other profile now have values for that preference variable that is today, later than the values for the other two profiles. The other two have 24 September and 26 September. Something seems to be broken in how app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer gets updated. -- David E.

Understand. I just seem to recall a short while back there was mention that the 64bit builds would become 'office' once the new machines (VMs?) were set up working: http://markmail.org/message/vuyseqcvkflefcqp so wondered what the status is. (Thanks Adrian for the gstreamer builds). Ahh sure, just a miscommunication on my part then. Basically now that we have the new Linux systems, (all linux64 fwiw) that are building both our linux64 releases as well as our linux32 releases. We have the technical capacity now to release linux64 officially. That said, it would still take some relatively significant work on the Release Engineering side, and the website to make that a thing. The largest two up-front would be adding official builds for linux64 l10n, and adding linux64 to the update generation code. There are other, smaller, things to do here, like ensuring l10n teams are aware of linux64 being newly official. Some manual QA on the build to make sure nothing is eggregiously broken, and some work on the website to make sure we can officially release it without confusing the whole site (and past release pages). Since linux64 does exist (in unofficial) and we release langpacks you can install into linux64, we have not made that process a higher priority, than, say, actually releasing betas or releases in general. (You'll note that the latest round of betas are still delayed).
