Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.13) Gecko/20100914 SeaMonkey/2.0.8

I got the popup window:

   Update Ready to Install
   Update: SeaMonkey 2.0.8

I clicked on Details.  This brought me to:

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.0.8/

which said:

However, that page is fine in Safari!

Then I clicked on "Restart SeaMonkey" ... it came up on the same page.

HUNH???  This is the second or third time this error has occurred.



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have 2.0.7 installed
2. update message receivd for 2.0.8
3. click on Details

I have NOT tried this because I don't have the 2.0.7 (auto installs mean I have no previous versions).

Going to the page is just fine.  It then reloads just fine.  The bug is somewhere in the automatic upgrading software.

Click on "Details".  It turned red.  A seamonkey page pops up:

Clicking on "Try Again" gives the same error.

Restart ...

http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.0.11/
and the same error!

That page works in Safari Version 5.0.3 (6533.19.4).
That page works in Firefox/3.6.12.

Reload the page and it works.

That works, but is not a solution.  The problem occurs on the popup
page and clicking on 'Details'.

Someone else on IRC reported this, so marking as NEW.

Ok, seems to be a dupe of bug 523859.
