+The SeaMonkey project provides official versions of [% rnote.name %] for

+
+<h2 id="install">System Requirements, Installation and Uninstallation</h2>
+<div class="section">
+Before installing, make sure your computer meets the
+<a href="../../doc/system-requirements">system requirements</a>.
+[% rnote.name %] will no longer offer to migrate your data from SeaMonkey 1.x
+or Mozilla 1.x at the first start after installation (<a
+href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=689437">bug 689437</a>).
+In order to upgrade from such an old version, install the last SeaMonkey 2.0
+release first, do the one-time profile upgrade, uninstall SeaMonkey 2.0 and
+then install your target release (e.g. this one).<br>
+You can find more details about installation, profile data and uninstallation
+in our <a href="../../doc/install-and-uninstall">install and uninstall</a>
+document.
+</div>
+
+<h2 id="addons">Extensions (Add-ons) and Themes</h2>
+<div class="section">
+<p>
+Extensions installed under SeaMonkey 1.x are not migrated to SeaMonkey 2, and
+may not be compatible for reinstalling in this version due to major changes in
+our architecture. Please report any issues to the maintainer of the extension.
+Extensions and Themes for [% rnote.name %] can be installed from the
+<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/">SeaMonkey Add-Ons</a> website
+or the &quot;Get Add-Ons&quot; section in the Add-ons Manager.<br>
+If you want to check whether your most important add-ons are already
+compatible with the SeaMonkey version to be installed, please refer to the
+<a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/AddonCompat">SeaMonkey Add-ons
+Compatibility Tracking</a> wiki page for an overview.
+</p>
+<p>
+Extensions with binary components such as Lightning, Enigmail and HTML Validator
+only work on certain platforms (e.g. Windows). Furthermore they need to be
+adjusted for each new SeaMonkey release, which also means that an old version of
+such an add-on can break SeaMonkey if you disabled compatibility checking (which
+e.g. happens when you install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on).<br>
+Lightning provides versions compatible with the latest SeaMonkey beta through its
+<em>Development Channel</em> which has an own section at the bottom of the <a
+href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/lightning/">Lightning
+add-on page</a>. Other Lightning releases can be found on the <a
+href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Calendar/Calendar_Versions">Calendar
+Versions</a> page.<br>
+For Enigmail, please refer to the <a
+href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download/nightly.php.html">Enigmail
+Nightly Builds</a> page.<br>
+For HTML Validator you need to check whether the Firefox version that appears
+on SeaMonkey's about: page is listed on the <a
+href="http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/download_090.html">0.9x download
+page</a>. Note that only Windows is supported at this time.

+</div>
+
+<h2 id="issues">Known Issues</h2>
+<div class="section">
+This list covers some of the known problems with [% rnote.name %].
+Please read this before reporting any new bugs.
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>Data loss warning:</strong> If you use a profile with this or any later
+    version and then try to go back to SeaMonkey 2.0, SeaMonkey will rename
+    your history file to places.sqlite.corrupt and create a new places.sqlite
+    file, effectively resetting your browsing history. This is because the
+    internal format changed and the upgrade process only works in one direction.
+    Additionally, running MailNews with local folders and POP3 mail filters may
+    produce summary files that are not correctly read by previous versions of
+    SeaMonkey. If you decide to go back to a previous version of SeaMonkey, you
+    should delete the .msf files for your local folders and POP3 accounts or
+    repair the folders using the folder properties dialog in order to avoid
+    potential data loss.</li>
+  <li>You may experience a busy cursor in MailNews while reading news (<a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727414">bug 727414</a>).</li>
+  <li>After creating a news account through clicking a news URL, the MailNews
+    account wizard may be broken (the account type will always be News). To
+    work around the problem, set the mail.server.serverX.valid pref (where
+    X is the internal number of the corresponding news account) to true in
+    about:config, or delete the invalid news account (<a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=521861">bug 521861</a>).</li>
+  <li>Web pages may appear differently in the MailNews feed reader than in the
+    browser (<a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662907">bug
+    662907</a>). Workaround: Add a "noscript {display:none}" rule to your
+    <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css">userContent.css</a>
+    (note that the Stylish add-on cannot be used here since it does not
+    integrate with the MailNews feed reader).</li>
+  <li>Select Element by Click doesn't flash the element in DOM Inspector on
+    Windows if hardware acceleration is enabled (<a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594299">bug 594299</a>).</li>
+  <li>The option "When opening a bookmark group" / "Replace existing tabs"
+    under Preferences / Tabbed Browsing does not have an effect anymore (<a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664101">bug 664101</a>).</li>
+  <li>Lightning options cannot be opened from the Add-ons Manager. Instead,
+    Lightning preferences can be accessed from Preferences/Lightning (<a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636104">bug 636104</a>).</li>
+  <li>Lightning keyboard shortcuts for accessing the calendar tab from within
+    the MailNews window or from the main menu (Ctrl+Shift+C/D) do not work. (<a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514512">bug 514512</a>).</li>
+  <li>If you try to start SeaMonkey using a locked profile, it will crash (see <a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=573369">bug 573369</a>).</li>
+  <li>For some users, scrolling in the main GMail window will be slower than
+    usual (see <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579260">bug
+    579260</a>).</li>
+  <li>Some synaptic touch pads are unable to vertical scroll (see <a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622410">bug 622410</a>).</li>
+  <li>Under certain conditions, scrolling and text input may be jerky (see <a
+    href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711900">bug 711900</a>).</li>
+  <li>Windows:
+    <ul>
+      <li>Norton/Symantec anti-virus scanners may report that some parts of
+        SeaMonkey (e.g. the file freebl3.dll) are suspicious. If you downloaded
+        SeaMonkey from one of the official download sites, this is a false
+        alarm. You might experience problems with secure websites when this
+        happens. To fix the issue, instruct your anti-virus software to
+        ignore these files (and move them out of quarantine) and/or switch
+        to another anti-virus software and reinstall SeaMonkey.</li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li>Linux:
+    <ul>
+      <li>The Oracle Java 7 plugin does not work with SeaMonkey (<a
+        href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754622">bug 754622</a>).</li>
+      <li>The cursor may change to "drag &amp; drop" mode in the mail window, causing a hang (<a
+        href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736811">bug 736811</a>).</li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li>Mac:
+    <ul>
+      <li>When hardware acceleration is off, background colors in the UI
+        (toolbar, status bar etc.) might not update correctly when you switch
+        focus from/to a window. Users running Macs with certain older hardware
+        (e.g. Intel GMA 950) will experience this even if they haven't turned
+        off hardware acceleration in Preferences (Appearance/Content) (<a
+        href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626096">bug 626096</a>).</li>

+<h2 id="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</h2>
+<div class="section">
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    Some questions are asked more frequently than others. Have a look at the <a
+    href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/FAQ">SeaMonkey FAQ</a>.
+    Maybe your particular problem has already been solved.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Some anti-virus software keeps detecting our installers as containing a
+    "Trojan" or "Downloader". This is a false positive and is some wrong
+    detection mechanism in the anti-virus software. The code in question is
+    actually from 7-Zip and decompresses the installer so that its contents can
+    run and install SeaMonkey. That technology is widely used and probably can
+    be used to compress bad as well as good software, but the 7-Zip code itself
+    is perfectly safe. Mozilla scans all our files routinely when putting them
+    on the FTP server and we assure you that our installers are as clean as the
+    official Firefox downloads that are scanned by the same mechanisms.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    Poorly designed or incompatible extensions can cause problems with
+    SeaMonkey, including make it crash, slow down page display, etc.
+    If you encounter strange problems relating to parts of SeaMonkey no longer
+    working, the browser not starting, windows with strange or distorted
+    appearance, degraded performance, etc, you may be suffering from Extension
+    or Theme trouble.
+    Restart SeaMonkey in Safe Mode. On Windows, start using the "Safe Mode"
+    shortcut created in your Start menu or by running
+    <code>seamonkey.exe -safe-mode</code>. On Linux, start with
+    <code>./seamonkey -safe-mode</code> and on Mac&nbsp;OS&nbsp;X, run:
+    <p><code>
+       cd /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/<br>
+       ./seamonkey-bin -safe-mode
+    </code></p>
+    When started in Safe Mode all extensions are disabled and the Default theme
+    is used. Disable the Extension/Theme that is causing trouble and then start
+    normally.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    If you uninstall an extension that is installed with your user profile
+    (i.e. you installed it from a Web page) and then wish to install it for all
+    user profiles using the -install-global-extension command line flag, you
+    must restart SeaMonkey once to cleanse the profile extensions datasource of
+    traces of that extension before installing with the switch. If you do not do
+    this you may end up with a jammed entry in the Extensions list and will be
+    unable to install the extension globally.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    If you encounter strange problems relating to bookmarks, downloads, window
+    placement, toolbars, history, or other settings, it is recommended that you
+    try creating a new profile and attempting to reproduce the problem before
+    filing bugs. Create a new profile by running SeaMonkey with the -P command
+    line argument, choose the "Manage Profiles" button and then choose "Create
+    Profile...". Migrate your settings files (Bookmarks, Saved Passwords, etc)
+    over one by one, checking each time to see if the problems resurface. If you
+    do find a particular profile data file is causing a problem, file a bug and
+    attach the file.
