So, the best way of upgrading Seamonkey would be (I guess) via Synaptic, except Synaptic doesn't have the most up to date version available.<<apt get install>> followed by the version ? Or not? Thanks.
You don't mention which distro you are on.
If it is one of the Ubuntu's then for a given distro release there will be no major version updates (only security updates and bug fixes) so that for a specific version functionality is not changed in terms of user experience outside of the 6 month distro release cycle.
If it is a ubuntu then are you on the current release ?
Now it may be that someone maintains a PPA with a newer version or there is something in backports.
Otherwise if you upgrade outside of the package manager then that is of course possible but bear in mind it will be your responsibility to manage security updates for that package thereon and expect minor brokenness come the next time you do a distro upgrade (usually easily fixed)
