How do I properly install the SeaMonkey contributor build?

Post by groze5858 »

I download the contributor build. I have Xubuntu. I would like it installed correctly.
seamonkey-2.33.1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

For example, in the past. I have extracted the SeaMonkey folder from the tar.bz2 and just moved the SeaMonkey folder to /home/user/

The problem with that, each new release overwrites the SeaMonkey profile folder. I want to keep the profile and do an upgrade.

If possible, I want the contributor SeaMonkey release to be automatically updated using Xubuntu software updater.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Why would that overwrite your profile folder? That makes no sense, something is wrong...
What's in your ~/.mozilla ?

This was addressed in your other thread.
