DO NOT extract all files from the zipped .xpi file. Only extract install.rdf. 1. After editing it, re-insert the install.rdf file into the .xpi file. 2. On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Tools > Add-ons Manager]. 3. On the Add-ons Manager, select Extensions (left-hand side, green puzzle piece). 4. At the top of the page, there is a button with a graphic that is either a machine gear or a black daisy with a down-pointing triangle. Select that button. On the pull-down list, select "Install Add-on From File". The rest should be intuitive. -- David E.
