Add-ons

[WaltP]

I am attempting to find seamonkey compatible add-ons but every time I go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/ and do a search for what I need, I get the whole Firefox list where few compatible add-ons work but all 700+ of them are listed. How do I get a concise list of addons that work with seamonkey -- including older versions that work when newer version have been broken?

And if an add-on is on my disk, how do I load it? The instructions about the extension directory doesn't work.

Searching for NoScript (for example) from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/ my results show only SeaMonkey extensions.

And if an add-on is on my disk, how do I load it? The instructions about the extension directory doesn't work.

Menu path Tools->Add-ons Manager (or Ctrl+Shiift+A) then click on the Gear icon and select "Install add-on from file".

Drag it into a browser window.
or,
File | Open File...

Typing "NoScript" for me lists 18 add-ons, only 9 of which are SeaMonkey.
There is no "gear icon" anywhere on my page
Opening the file states the file is corrupt.

So Snap-Links-Plus, which worked in SM-2.49.1 no longer works in SM-2.49.3

Is there any addon that allows us to open multiple links?

Install this extension in your SeaMonkey, then search for extensions.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamon ... seamonkey/

The gear icon is on the Add-ons Manager page just to the left of the search bar when you select the Extensions tab under Get Add-ons.

The AMO site sucks, overall, IMHO.
AMO couldn't give two craps about SeaMonkey, actually, anything that is not "Firefox".
You can never rely on being presented with accurate information on AMO.
Even a search for "noscript" - turns up ZERO - on my end, because (I think its something like) AMO, in its "wizdom" (yes, 'z', for zilch) "see's" that you (I) have NoScript installed, so doesn't even display it when I search for it on their site. Like how utterly ridiculous is that.
The best you can do is see what they may offer & take your chances from there.

I was just going to start a thread on this subject.

When I installed SeaMonkey, the default home/welcome page has a link for 'add-ons', but that link takes you to FF's add-ons not SM's and none seem to work. It's the wrong link!

[WaltP]

It's the correct link since SeaMonkey is essentially Firefox internally. SeaMonkey doesn't have specific add-ons that I know of.

[videobruce]

No it's not, the link above (Dan's post) here is the correct site.
All I see is a FF icon, not SM in that site. Two different sites.

You should be redirected to

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/

Some important add-ons like Noscirpt and uBlock are no longer hosted there.

Get them from:
https://noscript.net/getit
https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/relea ... y-1.16.4.5
https://github.com/Aris-t2/ClassicTheme ... issues/395

Using SM 2.49.4 on Ubuntu 18.04 I am not redirected.

I am sent to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/seamonkey/ where I see the message.

I'm glad you stated "should". I wasn't., but it doesn't change the fact the link is wrong!

Exactly!

Simple solution is to go to https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/seamonkey/ and bookmark the site.

I'm sure the problem will be resolved with the next version of SeaMonkey.
