Hi, I am running SeaMonkey 2.49.4 on my MacBook Pro Late 2011 - OS X
ElCapitan version 10.11.6. Will the SeaMonkey 2.53.5 update work on my
computer? Is there anything I need to do before downloading the update?
Thanks for your assistance.
I don't see any reason why it won't.
I have a similar vintage MacBook Pro (actually Mid 2010) that is
currently running 2.53.5 on High Sierra. No issues that I can see,
although I haven't done much more with that combination than ensure that
it installs correctly, and I can do some basic browsing. I do have a
bunch of extensions, particularly uBlock Origin and Cookies
Exterminator, although I haven't bothered with NoScript, as I do on most
of my installations. I also don't use this setup for mail.
As a general rule, before you do an upgrade, it's a good idea to get
your profile backed up. If there's problems, and you want to revert to a
previous version, profiles are now no longer backward-compatible. On a
Mac, the normal location of your profile is in ~/Library/Application
Support/SeaMonkey - copy the entire contents of that folder to another
location, such as your Downloads folder.
I don't know if there's a compelling reason or not, especially on a Mac,
but it may also be useful to uninstall the previous copy of Seamonkey
(which won't touch your profile data) before installing the newer version.
