Someone asked me what prevents some Firefox (and Tbird) extensions from
being used in SeaMonkey.
I know that the UI differences can be an issue but how about other
technical "stuff"?
One must have the correct items in the chrome.manifest in the installer.
For instance, Firefox has browser.xul, whereas SeaMonkey has
navigator.xul instead. The correct ID number for the application must
be in the install.rdf file. These are different between Firefox,
SeaMonkey and Thunderbird. The correct max and min version numbers must
also be present.
If you get these correct, there is still no guarantee that the extension
will work properly and will not screw up something. Some extensions
when modified to install into SeaMonkey will work, and some will not.
