Download a package as in tarball from https://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/ ?

Is so, do not mix it with the ubuntu package build of SeaMonkey and make sure the SeaMonkey folder has read/write permissions for the user to get internal SeaMonkey updates.

There shouldn't be any need to do anything but:

- download the version you want from SeaMonkey Project
- unpack it using your preferred archive utility (such as ark), making sure its subdirectory structure is kept intact
- move the entire unpacked directory structure to the location you want it 'installed' (or simply unpack it there to begin with)
- you're done!

Make sure the directory has appropriate permissions so it can be read and executed and everything, and that's it.

To 'uninstall' it, just delete the entire directory structure.

All of the above can be done in Dolphin (or whatever file manager you're using); you needn't touch a command line unless (like me!) you prefer to.

To run it, you can go to its main directory and run ./seamonkey from a command line, but easier is to just add a menu entry. If you need help doing that, please post.
