2.53 unofficial and gecko version
I got tired of lousy websites telling me to upgrade to a later version. Updated Gecko from 56 to 60 in the unofficial builds. The next one tomorrow should have it. Does not help for google because they really also do some sh*tty user agent sniffing only.
github should be ok now. At least no longer gives me the finger.
If it breaks too many sites I will back it out. Let me know how it goes.

Re: 2.53 unofficial and gecko version
if it's the SM 2.53 build from wg9s then that's the one I'm using on another PC running Win7 x64.
Sometime in July 2019 (most likely when Mozilla releases a new Firefox ESR version, 68), I will run only SM 2.53 or higher versions and will discontinue using any SM 2.49.x version for good

Yes, 2.53 works mainly for me too, aside from a few extensions.

Re: 2.53 unofficial and gecko version
JUst FYI, i tried installing a copy of version 2.53 64 bit over my existing 2.49.5. Doing this gave me two copies of seamonkey installed, both running on the same profile. Since I did not realize this, I used the old version next run, and lost my history. No big problem.
I also had to re-install Lightning for it to work with 2.49 again, as I could not find a lightning version to work with 2.53. Does anyone have lightning working on 2.53?

Probably an x86 and x64 mismatch aka. you ran the 32 bit 2.49.5 side by side with 2.53 64 bit. Uninstall 2.49.5 before you install 2.53. Lightining is included in 2.53. If it does not show up uninstall Lightning and clear all extensions.installedDistroAddon.* keys in about:config.

How about official "interim" SeaMonkey 2.53? Gecko will be 56 or newer 60?frg wrote:I got tired of lousy websites telling me to upgrade to a later version. Updated Gecko from 56 to 60 in the unofficial builds.

Re: 2.53 unofficial and gecko version
2.53 uses Gecko 56 with many many backports. Says 60 just to please the growing numbers of dumb websites doing idiotic user agent sniffing.
Feature wise not yet 60 but surpassed 56 a while ago. TLS 1.3 and NSS support is even beyond 60.

Re: 2.53 unofficial and gecko version
Ordinarily, I'd be concerned about the precedent this sets, but... in this case I fully approve of lying about version numbers. If websites are going to be stupid and try to lock out browsers, we just have to be even stupider so they're left dumbfounded.frg wrote:2.53 uses Gecko 56 with many many backports.

Heck, that's the same reason almost every useragent starts with "mozilla/", regardless of whether it is descended from Netscape Navigator. The string has a long and proud tradition of lying to defeat poorly-coded sites.

Thank you very much, this seems to have solved all my problems so far

Re: 2.53 unofficial and gecko version
Pretty much all is well here with 2.53 64 bit, except Flashgot is not working for me.
It displays the dialog of available downloads, but I am not able to check-select the ones I might want.
Any ideas or suggestions for that issue?

Re: 2.53 unofficial and gecko version
Are you using 1.5.6.14rc1?
It may or may not work particularly well (generally not) on Youtube, but otherwise should be working just fine everywhere.
(Hasn't been updated in ages & except for YT, no issues.)

All I see there is a single audio .m4a & a single video .m4a.
