Seamonkey has adopted the updater of Firefox.

This means perpetually checking for updates.
Go to the About: window and it might show the
same sort of nonsense that Firefox shows.

OK, when the updater downloads a file, what happens next ?

Why, when you start Seamonkey, up pops a UAC which belongs
to Seamonkey (it belongs to "updater.exe" which is apparently
part of Seamonkey stuff). Only you don't know that, until I tell you
that's what it belongs with. If you "OK" that UAC, then
Seamonkey is able to finish installing the upgrade.

These are probably bug fixes, going from 2.53.1 to 2.53.2
sort of thing. They're not changing the release, so the
design is mostly the same, just some little bug fix.

If you keep saying "No!" to the UAC, then the upgrade
cannot come in. But sooner or later, you will click
the wrong button or be in a hurry, and it will win.
