* The [http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/amo-browsing/ AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey] extension, which makes AMO pages a lot more SeaMonkey-friendly, is mature. It was developed by LemonJuice (of Add-on Converter fame), and Tonymec, who tested it and now uses it, supports it enthusiastically. The author proposes to add it as a "built-in extension" besides ChatZilla, DOMi and the like. What do you think? (See also {{bug|1145026|Bug 1145026: AMO Add-On-Descriptions: Add link function leading to SeaMonkey add-on-converter and filling URL input pane}}; the extension actually does much more than the bug's Summary implies: for instance it gets rid of the stupid "You need Firefox 10 or later" popups. | * The [http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/amo-browsing/ AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey] extension, which makes AMO pages a lot more SeaMonkey-friendly, is mature.

* The [https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/html-validator/ HTML Validator] adds HTML validation to SeaMonkey.

[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/html-validator/versions/0.9.7.5.beta The Beta version] is no more Windows-only: it boasts support for W32/64, L32/64 and Mac 32/64 Universal in a single XPI. It does not officially support trunk builds but in Tonymec's experience it works with them since last year. It offers a choice of validators: Tidy, SGML (same algorithm as [https://validator.w3.org the W3C validator] but client-side) or both. Caveat: The toolbar button gives no results for HTML5, you need View Source for that. See [http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/index.html the developer's site] for details. | ||
* In Gecko 52 obsolete toolkit parts were removed in {{bug|1312143}}. This may cause problems with older add-ons when SeaMonkey 2.49 hits the road. The 2.49 release notes should mention it. Chatzilla and DOMi were affected and were fixed. | * In Gecko 52 obsolete toolkit parts were removed in {{bug|1312143}}. This may cause problems with older add-ons when SeaMonkey 2.49 hits the road.

* There is a new build variable: MOZ_ALLOW_LEGACY_EXTENSIONS=1. It is currently set to true (1) and has also been put into SeaMonkeys confvar.sh to play it safe. | * There is a new build variable: MOZ_ALLOW_LEGACY_EXTENSIONS=1.

* Adblock Plus 2.9 is broken in 2.48 and up. 2.9.1 has speed problems and hangs 2.53 during shutdown {{bug|1379994}}. It is recommended to use 2.8.2 right now. | ** With this build option set, most legacy extensions (or at least most of those still working in 2.49, see above) are still working even in SeaMonkey 2.54a1, notwithstanding its being built on Toolkit 57.0a1; but the add-ons manager display itself (not the add-ons manager function) is broken on current trunk if [https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/amversionnumber/ the "Add-ons Manager - Version Number" extension] is enabled. This has been checked both with the "current stable" version 1.4 and the "latest development" version 1.4.1beta1 of this restartless extension, which will not be updated for Firefox 57.0 or up. Since this problem is due to an extension, it does of course not happen in Safe Mode. | ||
* Adblock Plus 2.9 is broken in 2.48 and up. 2.9.1 has speed problems and hangs 2.53 and later during shutdown {{bug|1379994}}. It is recommended to use 2.8.2 right now. This implies setting at least this extension to "Update Manually" in the add-ons manager, and disregarding all updates for it until further notice, even if found by the "Check for Updates" function in the add-ons manager rolldown. | |||
