I'm using SeaMonkey 2.3.3 since I thought this was the newest version.
Checking for updates doesn't show any new version, not even a hint.
Yet there's already 2.4.1 out. What's wrong?

My Seamonkey 2.3.3, in invoking "Check for updates" says ...

        <nothing that can be copied and then pasted>

W H Y   can I not copy text from the Software Update window,
and is the text therein accessible to screen readers ?
