My question is, should I dump the (older) 2.51 version and install the 
official 2.49 version?


TIA

I was running v2.51 on my Windows 10 Pro system and all was well.  Then 
I noticed newer versions, and installed v2.57 and there were problems 
with both mail/news groups, and bookmarks.  Then I switched to v 2.53a 
and all is well again.
P.S. Between the 32-bit official versions and the 64-bit versions, I 
think there were some issues with the profiles.

Bill provides x64 Windows contributed 2.49.2 builds:

https://www.wg9s.com/comm-esr/

Be aware that mapi does not work in any TB or SeaMonkey x64 builds so sent to 
mail recipient from the explorer will fail.


2.51 is a dead end with many problems. Similar 2.52 and 2.53a1. I run a 
patched up 2.53 for testing and porting and it needed around a 100 fixes to be 
halfway on par when it comes to security and bug fixes.


If you go from 2.51 to 2.49.x check if you have storage corruption. If you see 
an indexedDB error during startup you need to remove the storage related files 
from your profile. Usually they will be regenerated and this causes no 
problems but backup before or just build a new profile.

I don't know about 64-bit, but I was running a contributed build of 2.51 for 
32-bit.  When 2.49.1 came out, I installed that one, and have had no problems 
with it.

I'd say it's worth getting 2.49.2 for the security updates.

Before you upgrade, give yourself the ability to revert, if necessary:

- If you still have the installer for 2.51, keep it.
- Back up your profile.  In any version of windows, copy the entire contents of 
%APPDATA%\mozilla\seamonkey\ to another location.

I don't *think* there's the issue with Seamonkey releases not being backward 
compatible on profiles, at least not at these release levels.
However, following upgrade, if you get funky behavior, it's worth considering 
going through the dialogs for Safe Mode, and trying a reset.

I'd say yes, but it depends on how much you want security patches.
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.49.2/
  SeaMonkey 2.49.2 uses the same backend as Firefox and contains the
  listed Firefox 52.6 ESR security fixes.

  Similar problem -  I had been using 2.51 with no problem then
  tried 2.53 - lots of problems.  Now I'm using the regular 32 bit
  release 2.49.2.  Enough of the playing around.
  We need official 64  bit versions.
