Where do I find extensions for SM 2.0 now that it's released

[Ztruker]

Installed SM 2.0 on Windows 7 4 times before I got it right. Not sure exactly what I did wrong the first few times but I finally uninstalled 2.0, deleted the entire new Mozilla directory structure

C:\Users\<account>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles

then installed it one last time. This time I canceled the migration window when it came up.
I then started Profile Manager and created the 4 accounts I have for SM2.
Lastly opened a Command Prompt, navigated to where I installed SM2 and ran

seamonkey -P "Accountname" -migration

for each account. It successfully migrated everything for each of the 4 accounts. Had to close the SM2 window that opened after the migration completed before continuing with the next account.

Now, where do I find SM2 compatible extensions and plugins? I used to get them here:

http://users.skynet.be/fa258499/extensions.html

Specifically looking for PrefBar, TabX and IETab .

prefbar: http://prefbar.mozdev.org/

IETab has stopped development, so you should now go to coral IE Tab: http://coralietab.mozdev.org/

"Sea Tab X": tabx especially made for using with SM2.

Some of the add-ons seem to only support SM2 by nightly version right now. So it's better to go and look at developer's page directly not on the AMO to find SM2 friendly add-ons.

PrefBar installed okay. That is the one I need the most.
Coral IE Tab would not install, said not compatible with SM 2.0.

[Ztruker]

Turu, that gives me the "Install script not found message".

Maybe it's time for me to figure out how to massage these extensions to make them SM 2.0 compatible???? Is there a good place to learn about doing this?

[Ztruker]

Actually, turns out I don't need TabX with SM 2. Just add

/* Unhide the default close tab button. */
.tabs-closebutton {
display: -moz-box !important;
}

to the UserChrome.css file as the http://www.tom-cat.com/mozilla/seamonke ... atabx.html site says. Works great.

[Ztruker]

Rats, now it's not working. It worked for awhile, then I closed and restarted SM2 and the X is gone from the tabs. I checked and the update is still in UserChrome.css.

I also set browser.tabs.closeButtons to 1 from it's default of 3, no help.

Coral IE Tab would not install

Have you try version 1.69.20091026, which is linked from here ?

Turu, that gives me the "Install script not found message".

I just tried now, and was able to download sea tabX from there. so you may try it again, in any case if you want. After download tabX, drag and drop file on Add-on manager. Install process will start then.

Actually, turns out I don't need TabX with SM 2. Just add

/* Unhide the default close tab button. */
.tabs-closebutton {
display: -moz-box !important;
}

That's interesting. Sounds better than install add-on just for close button

For general reference on extensions, check AMO.

You can start here:
It's time to make your extensions compatible with SeaMonkey which I posted to the Extension Development forum.

Aren't you looking for extensions compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0? Why are you trying to install them to 1.1.18, then? That's what you posted with, so I assume that is what you were trying to install it on.

SeaMonkey 2.0 doesn't even support install scripts.

[Ztruker]

Weird, some how I'm bouncing back and forth bethween 1.1.18 and 2.0 as I have both installed. I'll fix that now by uninstalling 1.1.18.

I guess that explains why TabX works sometimes and not others

I see I'm running 1.1.18 again, how????


Ah, I see. I had Quick Launch setup under 1.1.18 and when I reboot, it starts, so even though I think I'm starting 2.0, because SeaMonkey 1.1.18 is already running, that's where I end up. Never though about that before.

Guess that's one for the FAQ hey!

[Ztruker]

That's better. "Sea Tab X" from the tom-cat.tom site installed and works, so I now have the 3 main extensions I need working under 2.0, IETab, PrefBar and TabX.

Thank you all. Especially the developers. SM 2.0 is fast!!!!

Desperately seeking Paste and Go 3 or similar for SM 2

[Ztruker]

Highlight the text you want to search on, then drag it to the Search button. No need for an Add-on for this.

This was mentioned recently here but I don't remember by whom, sorry.
