AMO has been aggressively WONTFIXing lots of open bugs which they "won't realistically be able to fix" (sic), including some such as {bug|1055371} and {bug|1065237} which were later fixed by a change somewhere in the suite directory tree. This of course doesn't help us. See [http://micropipes.com/blog/2014/09/24/the-great-add-on-bug-triage/ this blog page] for details.

** [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.

* Proposed replacement for Venkman for shipping with SeaMonkey: [https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/tiny-javascript-debugger/  Tiny JavaScript Debugger]. TinyJSD is a JavaScript debugger for privileged code running Mozilla products like Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey. It serves to debug the application as well as extensions written in JavaScript.
