; What is the difference between '''R'''elease '''C'''andidates and Beta-Versions?
: With the adoption of the rapid release cycle, release candidates (RCs) have been replaced by beta versions. As such, beta versions now identify themselves as release versions, i.e. they cannot be distinguished from release versions and the final beta is equal to the final release. Consequently, users on the beta channel are not upgraded to the final release because they already have it when they upgrade to the final beta. Instead, they are upgraded to the first beta of the next release once released.
;Which version of Firefox does SeaMonkey 2.x correspond with?
:SeaMonkey 2.1 uses the same back-end as Firefox 4.0, Gecko 2.0. Starting with Firefox 5, Gecko versions equal the Firefox version. While Firefox (and Thunderbird) chose to increment the major number with each new release, SeaMonkey chose to increment the minor number only. In other words, Firefox 5 corresponds with SeaMonkey 2.2, Firefox 6 with SeaMonkey 2.3 and so on. Currently (October 2015) the SeaMonkey-version-"decimal" (2.'''38''') corresponds with the "decimal+3" Version of Firefox (Firefox '''41''').
