Extension Update Available

And I believe the last update I had for that one was in the last few weeks or so. I hope that helps some. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

That bug report was closed as Invalid because, in a pending upgrade of Add-ons Manager, the notification will no longer appear. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599199. As I understand, users will have one of two choices: * The Add-ons Manager will both automatically detect updates to installed add-ons, download them, and install them. or * Updates will be neither detected, downloaded, nor installed. That is, automatic detection will no longer be possible without automatic installation. Can someone either verify this or tell me where I have this wrong? -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/.
