See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update:Checking_For_Updates#Preference_Controls_and_State Interesting. I did not know about these settings. app.update.silent may be able to make it fully automatic. for a description of them. Maybe at least one of them is set non-default on your installation. Unfortunately, I've messed with the prefs in the UI since this happened, so I don't know what the settings were last week, but I certainly never touched them since moving from SM 1.1 to SM 2.0 and I'd guess the profile migrator would have set them to sensible defaults... Anyway, it's nice to know about these prefs for future. -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Thanks. I don't know how it happened, but somehow it updated itself from SM2.0 beta to SM2.0 RC1. I'd been working in another program, I noticed the little Seamonkey pop-up in the bottom right of the screen saying an update was available, but I don't remember clicking on any confirmation dialog... When I went to use SM the next day there was a progress bar, then it made me confirm SM is the default client, then it was suddenly on 2.0 RC1! From your answers, I'm guessing fully automatic update is impossible with SM, so maybe I'd pressed a key which dismissed a confirmation dialog. -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
SM2.0 RC1 Automatic Updates?
Hi, I have the preference Advanced : Automatically check for updates, but does this mean the browser will actually update itself, or does it just download the new installation file and then require manual intervention? -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

You will be asked whether you want to download/install an update. Thanks, If you say you want to do both, does it update it without having to run an installer? -- Gerry Hickman (London UK) ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
