Well, I guess it was inevitable, really. I've gone and done portable versions of pretty nearly every other Mozilla product (inspired by Fred, of course).....so why not SeaMonkey?
I'll be brutally honest; I don't like it, personally. Not my cup of tea at all. Even by Mozilla standards, it's 'quirky'. But there's plenty of recent mentions of it still on the Forums, and apparently 2.46 is kind of a 'watershed' version between 'older' ways of doing things, and 'newer' ways that break things, so.....
Here y'all go. 'Portable' SeaMonkey 2.46.
EDIT-07/10/19:- Seamonkey 2.48 packages can be found here:-

---------------------------------------------
Works exactly the same as the others. Unzip the tarball. Place the 'seamonkey32' directory anywhere you like. Start 'er up by clicking on the 'smky' script inside. This creates an internal directory called 'profile'.....and that's where your profile will live. So long as you always start via the script, it'll always use the associated profile.

Easy-peasy. Enjoy.

For anyone who wants a MenuEntry for one of these portables, try this for a 'template':-
Code: Select all
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Seamonkey internet Suite
Comment=Browse the internet
Exec=/path/to/your/portable-app's/start-up script
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/xxxxx.png
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Categories=X-Internet-browser;
Change the 'Exec' path to reflect the location of your 'portable'.
You can find suitable PNG icons for anything with an 'icon search' with Google, DuckDuckGo, etc. I find a 256x256 PNG icon works fine; Rox/JWM will auto-resize it to fit. These want to go in /usr/share/pixmaps. Make sure the names of the icon and the line in the script match.
When you're happy with it, make sure it's finally saved. Open a terminal, and run 'fixmenus'. Then re-start 'X'.
Bingo! You now have a Menu entry for your portable...
