I can recommend to install SeaMonkey browser using UbuntuZilla APT repository. This package will be updated on every apt upgrade.

You need to execute the following commands to add repository, its key and package installation:

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list
deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main
EOF

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2667CA5C
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build

You will get SeaMonkey 2.53.2 with this method.

I got a tar.bz2 file but the help I found didn't help so I thought I'd ask here.

I downloaded the linux 32-bit file on their main site. My system is 64-bit.

The link on that site downloaded these files:

  You really need to provide more information. Where did you get this file from? Post the link. Is it for 32-bit or 64-bit Seamonkey? The "official" download is the 32-bit one. Is your system 32-bit or 64-bit? What does uname -a show?

  So is your system 32-bit or 64-bit? Please edit your question to provide the full output of uname -a.

  Why is there a .part file? This most likely indicates the download didn't finish correctly.

  Your right but I'm stuck again and I've even tried Adam and Candra's suggestions. The first command just says it doesn't exist. @pomsky

  @CloudE11 Did you cd to the correct directory first before running those commands? For example if you have downloaded the tar.bz2 file to your Downloads folder, then you need to run cd ~/Downloads before those commands.

  @pomsky Can you post them as I should enter them in terminal?

The terminal just loads for ages with the first command, I waited a couple minutes.

The first command consists of 3 lines - after the first line, the terminal will appear to "hang" until it gets the final EOF
