Re: 2.46 Automatically Updates, Breaks Mac OS 10.6.8

This thread has gone in the wrong direction, as it is focusing on whether or 
not I have backed up my profile data.

The original (and more important) question is -- is "shouldn't SeaMonkey check 
System Requirements before automatically updating?"

The profile was crippled by SeaMonkey.  Here is a description of this issue 
from the 2.46 Release Notes.

"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."

To avoid all of this, it would be beneficial if SeaMonkey could check System 
Requirements before automatically updating.

2.46 Automatically Updates, Breaks Mac OS 10.6.8

2016-12-31 Thread accordiongirl 
SeaMonkey 2.46 has automatically updated itself on my computer running Mac OS 
10.6.8.

This update is not compatible (it requires Mac OS 10.9), and therefore does not 
run.

It also cripples my profile.

And so now I must re-install 2.40, and start over with a new profile.

Shouldn't SeaMonkey check System Requirements before automatically updating ?
