Seamonkey browser?

Hi guys, I was wondering-after using Seamonkey as my main browser in windows for years, can the linux version be used on ubuntu mate? If so, how do you install it? It’s not in the software center like firefox/qupzillia are.

This worked for me

@OldSchool40: I too used Seamonkey, for some time, as my primary browser on Windows before coming aboard to Linux, and eventually Ubuntu MATE - Welcome!.

These are the four easy steps which I use; go to your terminal and issue these commands (just copy/paste only what is in bold italics)

echo -e “\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main” | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null

(press enter)

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29

(press enter)

sudo apt-get update

(press enter)

sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build

(press enter)

Enjoy!

Those commands worked! I’m viewing this in SeaMonkey now! Thanks! :joy:

The first two of the four commands, which you issued, allow your computer to receive SeaMonkey and/or Mozilla updates; so you will get all the new versions as they are released - just look for them to be in your Update Mgr.

Also, go to your Update Mgr (the big ‘A’ icon). After running an update check, press ’Preferences’ > ’Other Software’ and make sure that http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main’ is listed. Then go to the ’Authentication’ tab there and verify that one of the entries says ’Daniel Folkenshteyn’ (Ubuntuzilla signing key)… Make sure that you only have one of both of these entries (don’t want duplicates). If there are two, see that they are exactly identical; and remove any duplicate of these two (just the one though). :smile:
