If this is not enough for you, there's Html Validator:

That's the one I tried, and it generates this message:
Html Validator 0.8.5.8 could not be installed because it is not
compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0

This is because the author hasn't updated the compatibility after SM2.0a3 came out. The Easiest way to get around that is to disable the compatibility-check in SM:
Type "about:config" in your address-bar
Filter for "extensions.checkCompatibility"
Set it to "false"
Try to install the extension again.

Alternatively you can also download the extension, rename the xpi to zip, unzip it, change the SM-max-version to 2.0 in the file install.rdf, zip it again, rename it back to xpi and install it.

As much as I appreciate these tips, I feel as though the utility of compatibility checking is virtually gone, the majority of things people want need to be hacked one way or another to ignore the check, and I predict that at some point someone will force install something really incompatible, host something they call critical, and bad mouth SeaMonkey widely.

It would be better to advise people to bug the author than disable the check, it smacks of taking the battery out of the smoke alarm, it will ignore the backon, but won't work when you need it most.
