Fedora 31: SeaMonkey 2.53.3 Critical Update - Data Backup Recommended

fedora
Calendar Grey July 12, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The FireFly 1.0.2 patch emphasizes the necessity of saving user data prior to implementing updates.
Update to 2.53.3 The database format of the stored passwords and certificates in the user profile are now changed

Summary

SeaMonkey is an all-in-one Internet application suite. It includes

a browser, mail/news client, IRC client, JavaScript debugger, and

a tool to inspect the DOM for web pages. It is derived from the

application formerly known as Mozilla Application Suite.

Update to 2.53.3 The database format of the stored passwords and certificates

in the user profile are now changed. SeaMonkey should perform the changes

hiddenly at the first run, just asking for the master password (if used). To

avoid a hypothetical data loss, it is recommended to backup user profile before

the update, or even drop master password temporary. After the change, new files

cert9.db and key4.db shoud appear in the user profile. (The old ones, cert8.db

and key3.db, might be preserved as well, but make sure they are not leaved

unencrypted if you use master password).

* Mon Jul 6 2020 Dmitry Butskoy 2.53.3-1

- update to 2.53.3

- use sql nss databases (cert9.db, key4.db etc.) since the old format

is stopping be supported.
