Why make things so complicated?  I don't need no steenkin'
installer - I just download the release, unzip it into
/opt/seamonkey, and the update is complete.  I have an
icon that points to it, but that doesn't change after
an update.  Easy-peasy.

Seamonkey is my default browsesr; unfortunately I have to
fall back to Firefox more and more, as much as I dislike
its user interface.
