** [Ratty] According to jorgev there will be some sort of build time switch. SeaMonkey users will be disproportionately affected as they use orphaned extensions or modified Firefox/Thunderbird extensions via the ''xSidebar Project'' or the ''Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey''. We should disable this check in our releases.

* '''Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey''' [http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/ http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/]<br>This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf - it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there's only so much an automated tool like that can do.

** !This item should be moved to somewhere more permanent and discoverable! Ratty proposed a link on the front page of [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ http://www.seamonkey-project.org/] posibly near the "Add-ons" navigation item. Also ask Lemon Juice to put his list of successful conversions somewhere on his site.
