Please consider having this warning pop-up ONLY if seamonkey detects that a
newer version is available.
Seamonkey is so much better than Firefox (even as a plain web browser) -
particularly the rich set of gui controls (and none of that FRIENDLY URL crap).
Having this warning pop-up when no newer version is available makes it seem
insecure, out of date, and no longer supported.
with the extended release cycle, I think you should remove the added pressure
to release, release, release by making this warning a simple notification that
a newer version is available.
Maybe change the wording to "A newer version ({new-version-number}) of
Seamonkey is available".
Maybe use a dns entry to distribute the current version number (so seamonkey
can actually say what version is available and doesn't have to check a web
page).
A dns TEXT entry of: version.seamonkey.seamonkey-project.org should work
(the other mozilla projects should have similar entries like
version.firefox.mozilla.org). This way machines that don't have full internet
access can also tell if Seamonkey needs to be updated (if dns is restricted as
well, then an out of date browser isn't really a problem). And it would make
it really easy for people who support Seamonkey in a large environment to check
if a new version is out.
Thanks.
