I just now installed SeaMonkey 2.38. When I view the lists of
extensions or themes via the Add-ons Manager, the version numbers no
longer are displayed. I can get them one-at-a-time by selecting the
More link for each; but this does not give me a view of all of them
at once. One developer asserted that selecting [Tools >
Troubleshooting Information] from the menu bar provides the
all-at-once listing of extension version numbers; however, that does
not provide the version numbers of any themes. (Actually, the
developer's comment was expressed in terms of Firefox and involves
requesting about:support.)
Bug #1175324 was already submitted and then marked as Closed/WontFix
by the developers, who assert that users did not want version numbers
all together. Several users (including me) commented in that bug
report that the developers really do not know what users really want.
I marked the bug report Reopened and noted the lack of any bug report
requesting the removal of version numbers, which indicates bad
configuration management practices. See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175324>.
Fortunately, PrefBar's InfoList button does supply the version
numbers all at once and also links to the extensions' Web sites.
There is also:

And, of course, that web link shows this add-on is not available for SM
2.35 (which I viewed it under.) Do I have to upgrade SM to see whether
this add-on will work then? Seems a bit of a leap, really.
