It should be (officially just as a candidate, but unofficially as a
release)
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/candidates/2.46-candidates/build9/unsigned/

basically.. candidate = unofficial
soon-to-be-released-but-pending-processing release :P

There are builds here: (I don't think they are 'unofficial', but they
are for testing.) Scroll down to 2.49a2. I have been using it without
trouble.

Yes, SeaMonkey does (normally) follow a release cycle that includes 
public Beta testing, but the small team that produces SeaMonkey has been 
having various problems (some derived from FireFox) and, of course, they 
have their usual workloads and family to handle as well.


The version Richmond gave you a link to *is* an Alpha version (hence the 
"a2" at the end of the Version number.


I think I downloaded an "official" Win7 WOW 32bit SM 2.46 recently, but 
cannot locate it at the moment, so maybe I was just dreaming!

Because file protocol does not launch OS's file manager but opens
file|directory within the browser, read-only. The profile button is
supposed to open you profile in your registered file manager.

How did you install SeaMonkey? For me with Ubuntu 16.04 using the PPA
ubuntuzilla the button works as expected, Nautilus launches with PWD at
my profile DIR.

Take care,

l10n builds are still broken. Extensions needed to be removed in 2.46 
for now. Now stalled with a mac OSX repack problem but this should 
hopefully be solved soon.

Fighting what? Since 18 Nov I've been using the Oct 5 gtk2 2.46 build I 
was told about here (with 2 different profiles, simultaneously, one with 
browser and email, the other browser and CZ). The only things I can tell 
for sure are worse in 2.46 compared to 2.40 is I can't use "Toggle Word 
Wrap" extension, and the CZ theme. I use Modern for both profiles.

There will be betas..  just need the following to happen:



1) 2.46 is released
2) figure out if the next release is a beta (2.48) or
   release (2.47).
3) do a post-mortem discussion as to what the smeg went wrong
   with 2.46 and why hell broke loose and if it's the
   guy who did the release... he should be sacked!



   oh wait.. that's me.  *sheepish look* ermm..  umm.. Move
along.. nothing to see here. :P



Seriously, we'll need to do #3 and perhaps we'll need to
repeat the same patches to 2.47 or 2.48.   I dunno as
right now, I'm still fighting 2.46...
