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&os=linux&lang=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:

Well something is borked. Where did you get the package from? Is it
really the x64 version. x86 is seamonkey-2.40.tar.bz2 and x64 is
seamonkey-2.40.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2
x64 is available here:
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.40/contrib/

Thanks FRG.
It's X64. The library is already installed
[quote] apt-get install libxcomposite1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libxcomposite1 is already the newest version.
libxcomposite1 set to manually installed. [/quote]
So still getting same error

The error actually is:

x64 or x86 Seamonkey?
So if the library is not installed try:
apt-get install libxcomposite1
64-bit (installing the x86 version): apt-get install libxcomposite1:i386
and see if the error goes away.
