When I go to https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ the "download now"
always points to the Windows x86 version, in spite of the fact that I
am running the 64 bit version of Windows 10 Pro.
Is it doing this because it recognizes my currently installed version
is x86, or is there some other reason? In short, I'm wondering if
there is any reason why I shouldn't be using the x64 version and what
complications I might encounter with my existing profile if I try to
make the switch.
Thanks!

John, as Mark has indicated, your User Agent string (Mozilla/5.0
(Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
SeaMonkey/2.53.5.1) is indicating that you are using a version of
SeaMonkey that has been made to operate on a 32 bit Operating System
(i.e. WOW64) that is actually running on a 64bit Physical RAM System.
As Mark suggests, back up your profile into a new location (you know,
"just in case") then download the real 64bit SeaMonkey, install it
somewhere different to your current WOW32 SM SeaMonkey installation and
see if it will run at all on whatever your actual Operating System 32/64
bit number is! ;-)
As Mark suggested,
- uninstall the 32-bit version (this is essential)
- install the 64-bit version
If you need to go back then you will have to uninstall the 64-bit and
reinstall the 32-bit versions.
