I need the script.  It is tailored to the fact that (1) I have SeaMonkey
installed in J:\SeaMonkey and not any C-partition folder and (2) Windows
7 insists there is a Windows meaning for the .mar extension.  That
tailoring can be easily modified for any location of SeaMonkey.

Since I log the changes to my PC when I install or update software --
including updates to Windows 7 -- my updates involve 9 steps.  I have a
list of those steps to make sure I do all of them in the correct
sequence.  That might seem like an effort, but it takes less than 5
minutes except for the final step: "Update configuration inventories."
(Because my career involved configuration management and control of
large software systems, I am obsessive about maintaining inventories of
what software and logs of software changes.)

As I have commented a number of times in this newsgroup, I use SeaMonkey
only as a browser.  For E-mail, RSS feeds, and newsgroups, I use
Thunderbird.  I have a similar script for updating Thunderbird from .mar
files.  My list of steps applies to both SeaMonkey and Thunderbird.

Note that for an update to a new primary or secondary version number
(e.g., from SeaMOnkey 2.48 directly to 2.49.1), I use a full installer,
not a .mar file and script.  Before such updates, I copy all my profiles
in case I need to revert to a prior version.  I still log the changes
and maintain my inventories.

I'll bet your repo did the same.



I updated to 2.49.4 for my Windows 7 by downloading
seamonkey-2.49.3-2.49.4.partial.mar
from

and then using a script I created to incrementally update 2.49.3.  I
have been doing such incremental updates for several years but only for
third-digit changes.  This means smaller and quicker downloads and much
quicker updates.


So, you just download and run it? Is that how it works? Or do you need 
that script to patch too?

Didn't have to wait. Just downloaded and installed the 64-bit 
contributor build.


Why do so many Linux users depend on some maintainer to build and 
upload an app to a repository, that they have to install so they can 
get the updated application.


Just use the one from the original source, Luke. ;)

Because it allows better control of when I install updates, at a time I 
want.  If I wanted applications that updated themselves willy-nilly I 
would've just stayed on Windows.

I just now updated SeaMonkey in Windows 7 from 2.49.2 using the
seamonkey-2.49.3-2.49.4.partial.mar file.  I normally have "Advertise
Firefox compatibility" disabled.

When I first launched SeaMonkey 2.49.4, the UA string was
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/52.0
I enabled "Advertise Firefox compatibility" and then disabled it.  I now
get the correct (for me)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101
SeaMonkey/2.49.4
This correction persists when I terminate and then relaunch SeaMonkey.

I have posted this comment to warn others who also have "Advertise
Firefox compatibility" disabled.
