- Getting SeaMonkey
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- You can download nightly builds of SeaMonkey from the mozilla.org FTP site
- at
-
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/
-
- For the very latest builds, see
-
- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/nightly/latest-trunk/
-
- Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by mozilla.org developers
- for testing, may be buggy. If you are looking for a more polished version
- of SeaMonkey, the SeaMonkey project releases builds of SeaMonkey regularly
- that you can download from
-
- http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/
-
- Be sure to read the SeaMonkey release notes for information on known
- problems and installation issues with SeaMonkey. The release notes can be
- found at the preceding URL along with the releases themselves.
-
- Note: Please use Talkback builds whenever possible. These builds allow
- transmission of crash data back to SeaMonkey and Mozilla developers,
- improved crash analysis, and posting of crash information to our
- crash-data newsgroup.
