SeaMonkey 2.48 Beta 1 crash on Mac OS X

[faif]

I try to run SeaMonkey 2.48 Beta 1 on Mac OS X (10.11.6 )
Every time I start the software, it crashes with popping up a crash report! Any suggestions?

[DanRaisch]

Moving to SeaMonkey Builds where beta versions are discussed.

Does it show anything if you run it from Terminal (/Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/seamonkey)?

Which OSX version? 10.11?

[therube]

Where did you get 2.48 beta 1 from?

Can you start in Safe Mode?
If so, about:crashes, the last few crash report URLs?
(My last crash on the system was 9/9/2016.)

If not, you may still have crash report "ID's" in a place like:
C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Crash Reports\submitted

I get it from here: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.48b1
It is a fresh install and it crashes immediately. I tried safe mode: /Applications/SeaMonkey.app/Contents/MacOS/seamonkey-bin -safe-mode
got below error:

I cannot find the crash report in Mac app directory. Any more specific hints where it might be located. even I found it, do you want me to post it here?

This might be Bug 1310814 which was fixed for 2.49 but it is for Sierra.

Check System Preferences - Date & Time - Time Zone and see if City and time zone are ok.

Yes, mine is still 10.11.6 as I mentioned in the first post, I have not upgraded to Sierra (10.12.x) yet.
My setting is "Set data and time automatically', the time server is "apple Europe (time.euro.apple.com)"
time is also set automatically and it is nearest to the location of UK Birmingham .
So what do you mean if they are ok or not?

you said it is fixed for 2.49. where can I download and test it ?
thanks.

2.49.1 is not yet released. We are still having infrastructure problems. ewong was unable to make updates work so far. You can try Adrians 2.49.1 community build:

https://l10n.mozilla-community.org/~aka ... esr-mac64/

Bug reports against it are accepted. You problem might be a different problem from the one reported for Firefox. We will see.
