For all the people who have missed the subject or don't know the
difference between "supported" and "contributed," please don't clutter
the list with off-topic responses.

With a supported build you can check for updates, you can update in
place, and even opt to do automatic updates if you are a trusting
person. If you try that from 64bit Linux, the update loaded is the 32
bit one. But you say, "it works for me," and except for a GB or so of 32
bit libraries and cruft you are correct. But it would be *so* nice to
just upgrade instead of doing a full reinstall from scratch (and
depending on the goodness of a contributor for that).

So one last time, any hope?


Bill, you're comment about a 64bit Linux update loading a 32bit one, explains what's happened to me. I was sure I was getting x86_64 updates, but lately I've noticed I'm using a i686 on x86_64 version, i.e.

Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20120715 Firefox/14.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.11

I was wondering what had happened!! Now you may have supplied an answer for my unasked question!
