You can change the formatting from the application locale to the regional settings locale (OS) in the preferences dialog under "Appearance".
  • SeaMonkey 2.53.18.2 uses the same backend as Firefox and contains the relevant Firefox 60.8 security fixes.

  • SeaMonkey now uses a new api for formatting regional data like time and date. Default is to use the application locale of the current SeaMonkey build. If you use a language pack or a different OS formatting this is usually not desired. You can change the formatting from the application locale to the regional settings locale (OS) in the preferences dialog under "Appearance".
  • SeaMonkey 2.53.5 uses the same backend as Firefox and contains the relevant Firefox 60.8 security fixes.
  • SeaMonkey 2.53.5 shares most parts of the mail and news code with Thunderbird. Please read the Thunderbird 60.0 release notes for specific changes and security fixes in this release.

New in Portable SeaMonkey 2.49.2 (Feb 16, 2018)

  • What's New:
  • SeaMonkey 2.49.2 contains (among other changes) the following major changes relative to SeaMonkey 2.49.1:
  • SeaMonkey 2.49.2 uses the same backend as Firefox and contains the listed Firefox 52.6 ESR security fixes.
  • SeaMonkey 2.49.2 shares most parts of the mail and news code with Thunderbird. Please read the Thunderbird 52.6 ESR release notes for specific changes and security fixes in this release.
  • SeaMonkey-specific changes:
  • You were unable to add or edit properties for images and links in the 2.49.1 Composer. The problem, tracked in bug 1417819, has been fixed. We are sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
  • SeaMonkey now uses gtk3 on Linux. If you experience a problem because of this please file a bug and link it to Switch Linux builds to GTK3 with SeaMonkey 2.49. Pleae try another OS theme first. Some of them are buggy and cause problems with SeaMonkey, Thunderbird and Firefox.
  • With some Linux themes, the menulist- and history-dropmarker didn't show. It was actually there but only 1 pixel wide. The problem, tracked in bug 1331208, has been fixed. As a result the dropmarker in the location bar is now also shown a little wider under Windows.
  • Scrollbars didn't show the buttons under Linux. The problem, tracked in bug 1269145, has been fixed. We will try to improve the visual experience in a follow-up version.
  • WebRTC has been disabled by default. It needs an add-on to enable it per site. See the webrtc-permissions-ui-toggle add-on.
  • The active title bar was not visually emphasized under Linux or using the Windows XP/Vista/7 Classic theme. We opted to show it with a striped color bar in bug 1398973.
  • For security, parts of bug 1035091 were ported in bug 1411708. This might cause problems with add-ons like Stylish which use moz-document. Set the pref "layout.css.moz-document.content.enabled" to "true" to overcome this but be aware that this disables the added security fix.

New in Portable SeaMonkey 2.48 (Aug 10, 2017)

  • The following extensions are removed and are not included in the distribution (due to repack issues):
  • Chatzilla
  • DOM Inspector DOM Inspector 2.0.16.1 available on the Mozilla Add-Ons page is not compatible with SeaMonkey 2.48. Please use version 2.0.17.0 provided by Adrian Kalla.
  • Lightning
  • SeaMonkey-specific changes:
  • The bug which prevented you to set the default search engine in SeaMonkey 2.46 has been fixed. If you see any problems with this please report it in bug 1265881.
  • Troubleshooting Information in "about:support" is displayed in a better readable layout.
  • Language support for be, ca, fi, gl, nb-No, tr and uk has been dropped because the languages are no longer updated for SeaMonkey.
  • Developer Notes:
  • The Error Console is now a part of SeaMonkey. It was replaced by the Developer Tools Web and Browser Console in Firefox which both are also available in SeaMonkey. If you use css to style the console please note that it is now located in "chrome://communicator/content/console/console.xul/".
  • The Help Viewer is now a part of SeaMonkey and has been deleted from Mozilla Gecko.
  • SeaMonkey now uses the HTTP cache v2. For technical details please check bug 1241622.
  • Extensions (Add-ons) and Themes
  • Extensions installed under SeaMonkey 1.x are not migrated to SeaMonkey 2, and may not be compatible for reinstalling in this version due to major changes in our architecture. Please report any issues to the maintainer of the extension. Extensions and Themes for SeaMonkey 2.48 can be installed from the SeaMonkey Add-Ons website or the "Get Add-Ons" section in the Add-ons Manager.
  • Extensions with binary components such as Lightning, Enigmail and HTML Validator only work on certain platforms (e.g. Windows). Furthermore they need to be adjusted for each new SeaMonkey release, which also means that an old version of such an add-on can break SeaMonkey if you disabled compatibility checking (which e.g. happens when you install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on).
  • For Lightning, please check the Stable Releases section on the Calendar Versions page. Alternatively check the Lightning add-on page (Development Channel at the bottom of the page).
  • For Enigmail, please refer to the Enigmail Nightly Builds page.
  • For HTML Validator you need to check whether the Firefox version that appears on SeaMonkey's about: page is listed on the 0.9x download page. Note that only Windows is supported at this time.
  • SeaMonkey 2.29 dropped support for the legacy JavaScript Debugger interface (JSD1). Hence add-ons that relied on it, like the JavaScript Debugger (Venkman) that came bundled with SeaMonkey, or Firebug 1.x, have stopped working. While Venkman has been discontinued, Firebug can simply be upgraded to a more recent version (2.x) which supports the new JSD2 interface. If you are searching for a Venkman replacement (especially for debugging SeaMonkey itself or add-ons), have a look at the Tiny JavaScript Debugger add-on.
  • SeaMonkey 2.46 is the first version which bundled the Firefox developer tools as a replacement.
  • Known issues:
  • If you experience a hang and/or get a message box that a script is busy when opening the Data Manager try deleting the webappsstore.* files from your profile folder when SeaMonkey is not running. These contain data stored by web sites and will be recreated during the next start. If you are unsure if the information is needed please back them up before deleting them. The problem is tracked in bug 1305624 but so far no coding error has been found.
  • Changes in the Mozilla password prompting code caused an incompatibility and you may no longer be prompted for authentication in certain scenarios. The problem is tracked in bug 1347857. Check the bug for workarounds. The issue will be fixed in the next SeaMonkey release.
  • If your are running Windows 7 or lower "Send to > Mail recipient" might not work. The problem was originally reported against Thunderbird 52 and is tracked in bug 1356902. As a workaround install the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 redistributable runtime library. SeaMonkey is compiled for x86 so you only need this version VS2017 x86 runtime. The runtime can be installed on any Windows version starting with Windows XP SP3. If you already have a VS2015 runtime installed you do not need to upgrade it to a later version.
  • The SSL 3.0 encryption protocol is no longer supported due to security concerns (bug 1106470). Legacy websites may still rely on it and will not work with the newer TLS 1.x protocols. Contact the website administrator to update their server to resolve the issue at the source.
  • The Remember Passwords add-on breaks password handling. Please disable or uninstall this add-on using the Add-ons Manager.
  • You cannot set up a new Sync account or pair a device anymore (bug 998807).
  • Data loss warning: If you use a profile with this or any later version and then try to go back to SeaMonkey 2.40 or earlier, SeaMonkey will rename your history file to places.sqlite.corrupt and create a new places.sqlite file, effectively resetting your browsing history. This is because the internal format changed and the upgrade process only works in one direction. Additionally, running MailNews with local folders and POP3 mail filters may produce summary files that are not correctly read by previous versions of SeaMonkey. If you decide to go back to a previous version of SeaMonkey, you should delete the .msf files for your local folders and POP3 accounts or repair the folders using the folder properties dialog in order to avoid potential data loss.
  • After creating a news account through clicking a news URL, the MailNews account wizard may be broken (the account type will always be News). To work around the problem, set the mail.server.serverX.valid pref (where X is the internal number of the corresponding news account) to true in about:config, or delete the invalid news account (bug 521861).
  • Web pages may appear differently in the MailNews feed reader than in the browser (bug 662907). Workaround: Add a "noscript {display:none}" rule to your userContent.css (note that the Stylish add-on cannot be used here since it does not integrate with the MailNews feed reader).
  • Lightning keyboard shortcuts for accessing the calendar tab from within the MailNews window or from the main menu (Ctrl+Shift+C/D) do not work. (bug 514512).
  • If you try to start SeaMonkey using a locked profile, it will crash (see bug 573369).
  • Mac OS X and Windows: Citrix Receiver no longer works. As a workaround, mark the plugin as Always Enable in the Add-ons Manager (see bug 1025627).
  • Windows:
  • Norton/Symantec anti-virus scanners may report that some parts of SeaMonkey (e.g. the file freebl3.dll) are suspicious. If you downloaded SeaMonkey from one of the official download sites, this is a false alarm. You might experience problems with secure websites when this happens. To fix the issue, instruct your anti-virus software to ignore these files (and move them out of quarantine) and/or switch to another anti-virus software and reinstall SeaMonkey.
  • Fixed issued compared to SeaMonkey 2.48 Beta 1:
  • The code has been updated to include the latest Firefox 51 fixes.
  • Geolocation notification prompting was broken and has been fixed in bug 1368277
  • A minority of our testers reported a crash when sending or replying to emails starting with SeaMonkey 2.48. This is tracked in bug 1308923 and was fixed in bug 1364977 for SeaMonkey. The original bug is still open but additional cases are likely caused by add-ons.
  • A crash after archiving messages has been fixed in bug 1314347
