Yes, I know the difference between a plugin and an extension. ...


But some readers, including myself [even though around since
Netscape 4.x], do not.
Could you point to an official definition of the terms "plugin"
and "extension"?
I for one have never seen the need to enhance in any way a
standard release. I explicitly disable some longtime features
such as cookies, JavaScript, and site specified colors/backgrounds.


Go to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in#Computing>.  There are four
bullets; the first two are relevant.


Thank you. When I said "official definition" I should have said something like "How does SeaMonkey (or Mozilla) define the distinction between a 'plugin' and an 'extension' ?"
