On 12-02-28 4:32 PM, _TMitchell_ spoke thusly:
Is there any difference or advantage between updating SM via the update
option within the program itself versus going to the website and
downloading the complete new version and installing it over the older one?
Off the top of my head:
* Unless you're more than one update behind, the auto-update system
download is usually a lot smaller.
* Auto-update checks for updates for you.
* Auto-update handles the update process without you doing any work.
* It's quicker to use auto-update.
* Manual update allows you to back up your profile beforehand. (But you
should be doing automatic backups anyway.)
* If for any reason auto-update doesn't work, you can fall back to
manually updating by running the uninstaller, removing the SeaMonkey
folder in your program files, then re-installing the new version.
