Description Jaroslav Škarvada 2016-06-14 07:40:19 UTC
Description of problem:
Today (2016-06-14) red bar started showing in Seamonkey saying:
"Your copy of SeaMonkey is old and probably has known security flaws, but you have disabled automatic update checks. Please update to a newer version."

I have SeaMonkey 2.40, so it seems there is no newer version I could upgrade to. The warning shows also for newly created users with clean profile.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
seamonkey-2.40-1.fc23.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run seamonkey

Actual results:
Red warning bar with the following text:
"Your copy of SeaMonkey is old and probably has known security flaws, but you have disabled automatic update checks. Please update to a newer version."

Expected results:
No warning bar

Additional info:
This maybe temporally upstream fault.

$ rpm -qV seamonkey
[nothing]

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2016-06-14 07:46:19 UTC
I am not sure whether it is related (probably isn't) but I noted a lot of following messages on the console:

addons.update-checker	WARN	Update manifest for langpack-
cs.org did not contain an updates property

Comment 2 Dmitry Butskoy 2016-06-14 09:02:29 UTC
Actually Seamonkey-2.40 is the last released version.

Unfortunately, 2.41-2.43 are skipped to release, hence there is enough time slot to trigger "you have very old version" report mechanism for end users.

To switch this message off, go to "about:config" and add "app.updatecheck.override" boolean set to "true". (There is no such a boolean by default, hence add the new one by the right mouse click somewhere in about:config page).
