Your suggestion to find and delete my old 2.33.1 installation has worked and I have now successfully installed v 2.40. I was afraid to delete that 2.33.1 previously because I rely heavily on having a working SeaMonkey, but after making a full backup of all my SeaMonkey data, and given your encouragement, I felt confident enough to risk deleting it. I suspect I got my original seamonkey-mozilla-build_2.33.1-Oubuntu1_amd64.deb from http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/ Mozilla project homepage, and yes I installed it using Ubuntu Software Centre, so I think that explains why it failed to update. I hope my new v 2.40 will update itself more easily. + John ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Re: XPCOMGlue Load error
Thanks again FRG. I suspect I got my original seamonkey-mozilla-build_2.33.1-Oubuntu1_amd64.deb from http://ubuntuzilla.sourceforge.net/ Mozilla project homepage and I have been trying to upgrade with https://download.mozilla.org/?product=seamonkey-2.40=linux=en-US which is the standard Linux GTK2, English (38 MB) version offered on http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ I've now changed to trying seamonkey-2.40.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 and am no longer getting an XPCOMGlueLoad error, but my "./seamonkey" command is only taking me back to my old SM 2.33.1. I'm not sure what's going on now. Let me have another look at it and get back to you tomorrow. If I press Help -> Check for Updates on my 2.33.1 browser, a small window comes up saying: Update failed Something is preventing Seamonkey from updating securely. Please make sure you have the latest version from: http://www.semonkey-project.org + John - On Sun, 24 Jul 2016 at 17:01:25 +0200, Frank-Rainer Grahl wrote: Well something is borked.
