Re: installing updated seamonkey

You can install the new version in the /usr/bin directory. Untaring the download should have given you a seamonkey directory in your ~/downloads directory; you can move it from there to /usr/bin with
sudo mv ~/downloads/seamonkey /usr/bin
After that, you will need to make it readable and executable by other users on your system with
sudo chmod -R a+rx /usr/bin/seamonkey
Then all you need to do is create a link or menu item that calls /usr/bin/seamonkey/seamonkey and you should be set to go.
