I've used Netscape/Sea Monkey for browsing and email for about a dozen
years and don't wish to change now. I particularly like being to
simultaneously manage 5 email addresses. PayPal's page has no
instructions for Sea Monkey. When I check for updates from the Help menu
no updates are found. What do I do?

Does the browser work? You are using the latest version of SeaMonkey.
Sounds like someone is trying to steal your PayPal account data and
identity to me. I could be wrong.
Always update from within the browser or download and install the
latest versions from SeaMonkey.

My browser works fine. I considered that this might be a phishing scam
but it met all of the criteria for a legitimate message except for
providing a link that does actually go to PayPal. PayPal has always said
that a legitimate message will never have a link but will advise the
user to log into their account in the usual manner. I did so and was
never able to find anything about this message. So I went to the
community bulletin boards where i discovered messages from dozens of
people who had also wondered if it were legitimate. A PayPal moderator
says that it is and that it was sent to everyone who has recently used
PayPal, regardless of which browser they use. It would have been better
to direct users to log in to their account and PayPal could detect if
their browser was secure enough and so advise if it was not.
Bottom line is I still don't know if there is a security issue with my
browser,
Oh.
I previously typed in paypal.com instead of clicking on your link.
If I click your link, it says my browser is out of date.
I don't trust your link.
I prefer 1119 but you should not have to use it. Try different
spoof settings with yours.
