I'd say that's plenty enough of a problem. The latest 0day has example code posted, so the script kiddies have it -- which is probably why we have a brand new SeaMonkey 2.47 available at https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/ > Someone said to 'Turn off javascript' but > do not know how to do so. edit / preferences / advanced / scripts & plugins : remove the checkmark next to enable javascript for browser But unless you also use another browser or are using SeaMonkey just for reading mail, turning off javascript isn't a reasonable work-around. I'm pretty extreme with 'no, I don't allow javascript' but even so, there's still a few sites where I allow it. Noscript is a reasonable compromise https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/ but it does break things, does "phone home", has a default whitelist I disagree with, etc. All of which can be worked around, but if you're not using it now it is going to be a bit of a learning curve. > Others are saying to use a later release not yet on SeaMonkey site and > not use 2.40 at all. Okay, I think I like this option but need the > exact link to the windows 64 version that is okay to use. Just curious - why do you want the 64 bit version? If you're using SM 2.40 I'm pretty sure it's a 32 bit program, so your safest bet is to use the 32 bit version here: https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/seamonkey-2.47.en-US.win32.installer.exe If you do want to use the 64 bit version, it's here https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows64/seamonkey-2.47.en-US.win64.installer.exe but know that by default it installs into a different place than your old SeaMonkey, so uninstall the 2.40 version of SeaMonkey first. Well.. actually second. The first thing you should do is backup your PC & maybe even create a restore point, then uninstall SeaMonkey & finally install your new version of SeaMonkey > Thanks in advance for making this clear for me.
