Today (7/24/19) I started seeing a red banner below the tab bar that
said "Your copy of SeaMonkey is old and probably has known security
flaws, but you have disabled automated update checks. Please update to
a newer version." [Check for update button]
I'm using SM 2.53. Is this notice for real? I don't want to click on
the button since I don't know what it's going to do.
See the thread titled 'Strange "SeaMonkey outdated" message' from 13th
July in the archives:
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.support.seamonkey/tfn0056ZpCc>
Basically, with automatic updates disabled this message is displayed
when the version you're running is over a certain age. Without checking
for updates (which you've disabled) it can't tell whether there actually
is a newer version, so warns based on the age of your current version (I
think aimed at people who disable updates and then forget to
occasionally check manually). The assumption is that a newer version
would have been released by the time the message is triggered, but with
all the changes to Mozilla code and build issues holding up releases
that assumption doesn't necessarily hold.
