There wasn't a 2.50, 2.51 or 2.52.

The release notes for 2.48 also say in big red letters.

"Automatic upgrades from previous versions are, for most configurations, 
disabled for this release. Please download the full installer from the 
downloads section and install SeaMonkey 2.49.1 manually over the 
previous version."


REF: 

That is also in the current release notes for SeaMonkey 2.53.3.



The trick is to find the release notes and *read* them before installing 
a new version.


Reading the first post in the announcement thread and following the 2nd 
link is a good start.


Maybe you could suggest to Edmund that the links be posted this way.

I never saw anything like this on previous versions.


A similar wording was in all previous releases notes starting with 
2.53.1.



Is it something to be REALLY concerned with?


Not much if you are upgrading from 2.53.2 and have no language pack

At some point Adblock shower up on SM.  I never asked for it.

I have not determined how to white list a site.

What I have reports as version 2.6.6, 13Nov2014.  Attempts to download a

I agree there are issues on particular sites, but for those sites that 
are not site specific problems it seems to be more responsive.

Just got the Arch Linux update. I'm glad to say I did archive my

Trouble is, I'm not sure which files I need to restore from the 
backup. I _think_ I need places.sqlite and logins.json, but I'm not 
sure, nor am I sure if I need anything else. Long time since I last 
had to do this...


Can anyone tell me what files I need to copy over? Thanks.


Along with logins.json, you also need the decryption keys.  I have 
both key3.db and key4.db in my profile.




Thanks for that. I have both, I'll try that.

What files are needed for the bookmarks now? I'd hate to have to try and 
rebuild that collection - it goes back years




Copying over places.sqlite should put back the bookmarks.  You could 
probably also copy over the bookmark backups as well.

:)  Found it - there are two other files places.sqlite-shm and -wal. 
Missed them the first time. Copied them over and I've got the bookmarks 
back as well.


I thought those were temporary files created while the SQLite database 
is open, and deleted when it's closed.  So if they're there it might 
indicate that you had SeaMonkey running when you copied the profile, or 
perhaps it had crashed.  I usually close SeaMonkey while copying / 
backing up the profile, to help ensure everything is captured in a 
consistent state.


Apart from one email account which is timing out, everything is now 
working. I'll have to check that mail server, but otherwise things are 
back to normal. Liking the new version so far. If nothing else, a fresh 
profile gets me a few things I've not seen.


Great.  At least you got it sorted in the end.

It has been working up to 2.53.2.

No. I just made a backup copy somewhere else on disk of profile and 
mails qo i can revert.

No need of extra tool for this. Just ctrl+C ctrl+v on windows :)

As far as I know this was always the case. I just tried with 2.49.5. Do you 
have an add-on for this installed or changed some config options in the past-

Weird. Mine doesn't do that in my decade old, 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC. Try 
a new SeaMonkey profile and see if it still happens?
