Sean, do you actually have your SeaMonkey installed in "/opt/seamonkey/seamonkey"??



Most directions say to create a directory named "seamonkey", then download the tarball to that directory and extract it. That would give the user "/path/seamonkey/seamonkey".

There is no installer available, but just extracting the tar.bz2 to the default directory (usually /usr/local/seamonkey) achieves the same result as an installer would.


Ref :<https://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/2.0/install-and-uninstall#install_linux>

I have mine setup a bit differently.

SM 2.46 is in ~/Apps/seamonkey, 2.48b1 is in ~/Apps/seamonkey2.48b1, and 2.49a2 is in ~/App/seamonkey2.49/seamonkey.

The opt directory is an alternative location, and that iswhere my Vivaldi browser was installed by the installer from the Vivaldi repo.
