I would like to ask what is the use of the following: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.53.7/linux-x86_64/en-US/seamonkey-2.53.7.en-US.linux-x86_64.mozinfo.json
 
Is this some sort of bookmark?
 
I have been following this thread.
 
Thanks

zypper al seamonkey

will lock it in place, plus any of its dependencies.

Instructions come from the same place as the .bz2:
<https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/2.53.7/linux-x86_64/en-US/>

You have the latest version AFAIK, so there would be nothing for the updater to
do, besides read the instructions. Maybe read
https://blog.seamonkey-project.org/ and/or http://www.wg9s.com/comm-253/ too.
