** "Mac" builds are "Universal builds" supporting both 32- and 64-bit Mac computers with Intel processors running Mac OS X 10.5 or later. OS X 10.4 is not supported anymore, and neither are PowerPC computers. | ** "Mac" builds are "Universal builds" supporting both 32- and 64-bit Mac computers with Intel processors running Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

** There are separate "Linux" builds for 32-bit (i686) and 64-bit (x86_64) systems. 32-bit builds can run on 64-bit systems (if you have the necessary 32-bit libraries installed) but not vice-versa. The 64-bit builds are still regarded as "experimental" because there are still few testers using them: a chicken-and-egg problem. If you have a 64-bit Linux system, maybe you can help us by testing the x86_64 Linux build. | ** There are separate "Linux" builds for 32-bit (i686) and 64-bit (x86_64) systems. 32-bit builds can run on 64-bit systems (if you have the necessary 32-bit libraries installed) but not vice-versa.

** As of this writing, Adrian Kalla unofficially supports [https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~akalla/unofficial/seamonkey/nightly/ W32, W64 and L64 builds] of SeaMonkey in many languages for all 4 active branches (trunk, aurora, beta and release). These builds are compiled from the official sources, but not on Mozilla machines, and of course Adrian may someday decide to discontinue them if and when Mozilla official builds are again regularly published. | |||

* Start your new SeaMonkey as follows (at a command-line [shell] prompt, after cd to the directory containing the executable):<pre>./seamonkey -no-remote -ProfileManager</pre> The first time, create a new profile then use it. Later on, you can just reuse that same profile. | * Start your new SeaMonkey as follows (at a command-line [shell] prompt, after cd to the directory containing the executable):<pre>./seamonkey -no-remote -ProfileManager</pre> The first time, create a new profile then use it.
