Pat, these are my recommendations were I you - keep in mind that they are only my personal recommendations & I've been known to be wrong in the past, so I assume no responsibility for breakage. Note: wait for an hour or two to see if anyone on this list finds issue with the following before doing anything except #1. 1. Backup your SeaMonkey folder. You can accomplish this by doing a standard copy & paste from Windows Explorer - copy %APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles\ and paste to another folder/drive. In the event of any issues you can copy from the backup location and paste back. 2. Download: <https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/seamonkey-2.47.en-US.win32.installer.exe> and <https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/latest-comm-release-windows32/lightning-5.2.en-US.win32.xpi> 3. Exit SeaMonkey 2.40. 4. Install the downloaded seamonkey-2.47.en-US.win32.installer.exe (just as any other .exe by double-clicking on the .exe from Windows Explorer). Note you can uninstall 2.40 if you wish, but it is not necessary as you are installing a 32bit version over your existing 32bit version. 5. Start SeaMonkey (2.47) and check to ensure that everything is working properly. If you have issues with Lightning calendar, install the lightning-5.2.en-US.win32.xpi from 'Tools|Add-ons Manager|Extensions|Install Add-ons from file (cog wheel to the left of the 'Search all add-ons' box). If you still have issues feel free to email me directly (just drop the .invalid at the end of my address for the correct email address). Re Microsoft Edge - If you just want a now safe browser you can use the most recent Firefox or Google Chrome, both have been fixed. Thunderbird for email is fine also if you wish to go the Browser+Email client route.
