You realize that Ubuntu 12.04 is been EOL for 2 years and the
repositories may no longer be on line. There is an old archive for EOLed
releases but it requires some effort to access it and isn't updated.
You should still be able to upgrade to 14.04 even though it is also EOL
also as of April this year but the repositories were still on line when
I last looked a few weeks ago. If not there are old archives available
which should be pretty recent.
You can probably still do-release-upgrade, if your 12.04 is up to date.
Then you may be able get SeaMonkey directly from the Ubuntu
repositories, if they're still available.
But I'd recommend upgrading to 16.04 since it is supported until April
2021 and after the pain has worn off go to 18.04
If you decide to upgrade be sure to update and upgrade before
do-release-upgrade. You'll need to upgrade to 14.04 then to 16.04 and
later to 18.04.
All of that would be a good bit of work. But I'm not sure where you can
get a current SeaMonkey packaged as a .deb and compiled to run on Ubuntu
12.04

Ubuntuzilla install of Seamonkey 2.49.5 missing file
But a manual install, download - copy to - extract, does no better;
it just does not work. So either way it don't work.
Computer running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS precise Linux. Seamonkey 2.49.4
works fine for quite a while now. No real hangups.
I downloaded:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.49.5/linux-i686/en-US/seamonkey-2.49.5.tar.bz2
Extracted the download to a proper directory, and tried to launch it
as always. It fails to launch without any display of why.
I am not trying to maintain or run two different versions either. And
the x86 issue always worked for past versions.
So I tried using the apt-get install for seamonkey(Sourceforge
Ubuntuzilla), and all seems well until attempting to start seamonkey,
which returns: /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.17' not
found (required by seamonkey);
and I cannot find the file to copy/install via terminal.
Ideas?
