Unless the installation instructions explicitly state otherwise, I normally install any new version of an application over a prior version. This includes not only SeaMonkey 1.1.x but also SeaMonkey extensions (other than FlashBlock), Adobe Reader, Java Runtime Environment, Flash, Thunderbird, Thunderbird extensions, and Real Player. Off hand, I can only remember the FlashBlock extension requiring removal before installing a new version. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other Mozilla-related applications. You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
