SeaMonkey add-on-compatibility

[Rainer Bielefeld]

Hi all,

it would be great if some of you could share their experience with
add-on compatibility. It would be a horrible work for a single person to
leave comments on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/AddonCompat>
"SeaMonkey/AddonCompat" for all the liste add-ons (and there might exist
hundreds or thousands not listet there). But if lots of users only leave
1 comment / each that page might become a useful data base, soon.

The core questions are:
a) Is the original add-on (download from AMO) compatible?
b) Is the compatibility rating on AMO page correct (sometimes
you will find a warning "not available for SM 2.33.1", but
Installed Addon will work fine
c) If not compatible, what minor or serious problems have
been observed with what test environment?
d) If original add-on is not compatible, does converted Version
(see <https://wiki.mozilla.org/SeaMonkey/AddonCompat> work or
what minor or serious problems have
been observed with what test environment?
e) Is a compatible (or alternative) add-on available, may be form other
source than AMO?

You can easily add your observations on the wiki page (it's not a
problem to subscribe and to get an account).
Or if you do not want to edit the page, you can add a posting here in
the thread as I will do for an add-on in few minutes here.

Come on, anybody here who will start with a statement concerning
"Automatic Save Folder 1.0.4 "
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/automatic-save-folder/>?

Thank you in advance and best regards

Hello,

here an example for shared experience (please open a new sub thread for
ever< add-on and add the add-on name to Summary):

----

Ghostery 5.4.3 _converted_version_
works fine with EN-US Seamonkey 2.33.1 (German Language pack)
Gecko/20100101 Build 20150321194901 (Default Theme) on German WIN7 64bit
Very tricky, but seldom problem reported in "bug 1154608 Websites not
loaded when Ghostery-add-on and private window active "
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1154608>

----

(this is already integrated into wiki page "SeaMonkey/AddonCompat")

Best regards

There is an error in the wiki in the "Converted Version Compatible"
section - the first item says "Adblock Plus 2.6.8" but actually should
be "Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.9.2". The convert link is correct,
though. Adblock Plus does not need conversion for SeaMonkey :)

Hi,

thank you for info, I will add it soon.

Can you please add info concerning your test environemnt (OS, SM
version, UI language) and whether all these add-ons have been installed
for your latest SM? I remember that I already had the experience that an
addon installed some SM versions worked until I tried to install the
same addon version for the latest version.

Best regards

Those extensions do work for SM 2.33.1, except there is a small problem
with YesScript 2.1 (no icon). I had to copy chrome.manifest from 2.0
into 2.1 to fix it. I began using most of those extensions with SM
2.20, which is when I began using SeaMonkey.

Just checked with Reminderfox installing from AMO for
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/39.0 SeaMonkey/2.36a2

No problem, should be marked as compatible.

calculator-1.1.32
<https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/299148/calculator-1.1.32-sm+fx.xpi>
converted via <http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/> works A1 and
doesn't appear to be interfering with other SM functions.

Konquefox 1.8.2
<http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/?url=https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/konquefox/>
works and does not seem to interfere with any other functions.

Lightbird 0.3.4
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/seamonkey/addon/lightbird/>
conditionally works (given my limited-testing).

PDF Viewer 1.1.26 does still work okay.
PDF viewer 1.1.67 doesn't
work.<http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/?url=http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/extensions/firefox/pdf.js.xpi>
or even directly from

<http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/?url=https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/downloads/file/275646/printingtools-1.2.5-tb.xpi>both
work perfectly in this and recent trunk builds, so their behaviour bodes
well, for future releases. (This extension strips headers from messages,
i.e., only prints message-body text, etcetera.)

SQLite Manager 0.8.3
<https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/downloads/latest/5817/addon-5817-latest.xpi>
works for me.

Word Count Plus 1.2.3
<http://downloads.mozdev.org/wordcountplus/wordcountplus-1.2.3.xpi>
works for me, counts characters and words.
Word Count Plus 1.3.0 <http://wordcountplus.mozdev.org/betarelease.html>
doesn't work at all, an won't even install the status-bar-icon, that's
needed to operate functions.

Are you referring to this Add-on?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/versions/

Version 4.9.24 does not seem to work in Youtube?

I used LJ's converter on version 5.2.0 but it doesn't
even show up, even after a restart.

Is VDH v5.2.0 supposed to work in SM 2.33?

Regards.

Video Downloadhelper no longer works with SeaMonkey. It is now set up
to work only with Firefox. I am now using Video Downloader
professional, which does work with SeaMonkey after being converted.

I've been delighted recently when I discovered that the Orthodox Theme
could work for SeaMonkey 2.33.1 as I haven't been able to use it for a few
previous SeaMonkey releases
Once again proud of teams working on SeaMonkey!!!
