With the MATE desktop using Caja file manager I believe I should: 1. copy seamonkey-2.49.4.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 to /usr/local/ 2. click on it and choose "Extract Here" Am I correct? TIA Can't you use Ubuntuzilla with Debian? For multiple reasons I do not want anything other than official Debian references in my sources.list file. The .deb files are here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntuzilla/files/mozilla/apt/pool/main/s/seamonkey-mozilla-build/ That points to https://sourceforge.net/projects/ubuntuzilla/files/mozilla/apt/pool/main/s/seamonkey-mozilla-build/seamonkey-mozilla-build_2.49.4-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb/download should do nicely [I've installed local .deb files before].
