Daniel, This has been explained you you previously, but I'll try to explain one more time. Apologies as I should have noticed earlier. You are running the 32bit version of SeaMonkey on a 64bit linux. Just to show you I'm posting this from the same: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120826 Firefox/15.0 SeaMonkey/2.12 about:buildconfig Build Machine sea-vm-linux32-1 Source Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/a347058c607a Build platform target i686-pc-linux-gnu Now I'll save this as a 'draft', enable the 64bit version and finish the post. OK, now back on SeaMonkey 2.12 from a 64bit build: User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20120826 Firefox/15.0 SeaMonkey/2.12 about:buildconfig Build Machine cb-seamonkey-linux64-01 Source Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/rev/450143d2d810 Build platform target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu See the difference? Now, you can stay on the 32bit version - it won't hurt & will work - or you can use the 64bit version. To be honest, I've not tested the 32bit on a 64bit machine to compare the differences. So I can't tell you which is better. However you *need* to understand the version that you are running is 32bit, it is *not* the 64bit version. If you want to run the 64bit version you will need to use the contributed build, and you will not, repeat *not* get any updates (notifications or otherwise). HTH Gary OT: previously Barry Edwin Gilmour (the same Fairfax photographer that recorded Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin moon landings on film) used to build 64bit linux directly. Unfortunately I've not seen a post by Barry in seamonkey dev since around Sept 2011... I hope he's OK. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
