![]() I talked to the SeaMonkey developers on Libera about this, and they said that’s a bogus thing to do. OpenSUSE adds a layer of confusion, because ChatZilla, the IRC client, is missing, and it’s in another package called “seamonkey-irc”. I ended up getting the latest version by adding JUST the Mozilla repo and pinning it to a lower priority than the system’s so it wouldn’t go around clobbering OS files, and then pulling the updated 2.53.17 RPMs out of that with Yast. When I got openSUSE Leap 15.5 KDE on my laptop due to the fact that Fedora is dying off and being murdered by IBM Red Hat, I was somewhat disturbed to find out that it was not only not the latest version, but that even the latest version doesn’t run my blog editor, again, even with WebComponents on and Palefill extension loaded. The developers of SeaMonkey deserve to be commended for keeping as much of the Web running in it as possible as Google and Mozilla fill the Web platform with garbage meant to turn it into some kind of crazy virtual machine with no real security model, like Microsoft ActiveX, only “cross-platform”.
