DO NOT extract all files from the zipped .xpi file. Only extract
install.rdf.
1. After editing it, re-insert the install.rdf file into the .xpi file.
2. On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Tools Add-ons Manager].
3. On the Add-ons Manager, select Extensions (left-hand side, green

4. At the top of the page, there is a button with a graphic that is
either a machine gear or a black daisy with a down-pointing triangle.
Select that button. On the pull-down list, select Install Add-on From
File.
The rest should be intuitive.
Regarding step #1, how do I re-insert it? At this point, the edited .rdf
file is unzipped, and the original .xpi file is zipped. Do I put the
now-edited .rdf file back into the unzipped .xpi file's folder, then
re-zip that folder, then install the add-on using that edited, re-zipped
.xpi file?
I'm sorry, David. I'm pretty dense about this stuff. I greatly value
your help and tips! Thanks.

replace the existing install.rdf in the .xpi with the modified
install.rdf.
The reason for this is that some of the other files in the Password

those files in their proper subfolders is a real headache. It sometimes
takes me 2-3 attempts before I can get it done correctly. (I use WinZip.)
Unfortunately, some extensions have .xpi files where a modified
install.rdf cannot be rezipped. In those cases, I have indeed extracted
all files and then had to recreate the .xpi file. I cannot remember
whether Password Exporter is one of those extensions.

If you open the xpi file in, say, Winzip you can simply double-click the
rdf file to open it in the default text editor. Make the changes, and
save. Winzip will prompt you that the xpi file has changed and do you
want to keep the changes. Say yes and the xpi file is ready to install.
You can also install it by dragging the xpi file and dropping it into a
SM window.

Re: Password saver has stopped working again
Interviewed by CNN on 23/11/2012 16:32, David E. Ross told the world: When you unzip the .xpi file, don't extract all the files. Only extract install.rdf. After editing install.rdf, use your ZIP application to replace the existing install.rdf in the .xpi with the modified install.rdf. The reason for this is that some of the other files in the Password Exporter .xpi file are in subfolders. Recreating the .xpi file with those files in their proper subfolders is a real headache. It sometimes takes me 2-3 attempts before I can get it done correctly. (I use WinZip.) Unfortunately, some extensions have .xpi files where a modified install.rdf cannot be rezipped. In those cases, I have indeed extracted all files and then had to recreate the .xpi file. I cannot remember whether Password Exporter is one of those extensions. I never had any trouble unpacking/repacking files into their proper subfolders. It has been a while since I used WinZip (I did use it for a very long time, back before Corel bought them and established an user-hostile upgrade policy) -- I now use 7-Zip, but the procedure is basically the same: To unpack: Right-click on the zip file, choose Extract to file name here. This will unpack the zip into a folder, and all internal subdirectories into subfolders. To repack: open the folder containing your files and subfolders, select all of them, right-click and choose Add to archive. The problems are usually caused by right-clicking the FOLDER and zipping it. For some reason, most packers will put all the content inside a subfolder in the zip, instead of leaving them at the root of the folder -- while I believe the .xpi spec demands that some files be put in the root folder inside the zip. I think this packer behavior is stupid, but people who make packers disagree with me. WinZip has (or used to have) an option to disable this behavior, but It has been years and I don't remember what it's called... and it seems that the UI has been changed since then. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

I'm not looking for a discussion of why this is a good or
bad thing, since it is a required thing for this client.
Reasons to do it:
- it's *their* hardware
- it's *their* passwords
- they pay me *their* money to do things *their* way
- the choice is to provide the list, on paper, within 24
hours of
any change, or stop working for them
- they're not asking for anything of mine, just theirs the
way
they want it.
So is there an extension which allows dumping the full
content of the password database into a text file or are
we back to doing it by hand or using another software?
Try the Password Exporter extension at
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/password-e
xporter/. While the Web page says Not available for
SeaMonkey 2.13.1, I am using the extension with SeaMonkey
2.13.1.
How do you install it when SeaMonkey won't let you install it
from the website?
After you install the extension --
snip
1. Download the .xpi file without installing it.
2. Use a ZIP application (e.g., Winzip) to extract the install.rdf
file. (The .xpi file is merely a ZIP file without the .zip file
extension.)
3. In the block
em:targetApplication
!-- SeaMonkey --
Description
em:id{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}/em:id
em:minVersion2.2/em:minVersion
em:maxVersion2.7.*/em:maxVersion
/Description
/em:targetApplication
use an ASCII editor to change
em:maxVersion2.7.*/em:maxVersion
to
em:maxVersion2.15.*/em:maxVersion
4. Re-insert the modified install.rdf file back into the .xpi file.
5. Install the extension locally from your hard drive.

Password saver has stopped working again
Once again a new version has stopped supporting an extension to save all passwords in human readable format. I'm not looking for a discussion of why this is a good or bad thing, since it is a required thing for this client.

On the Import/Export Passwords window, you can select either the Export Passwords button or the View Saved Passwords button. The former button throws up a file-selection window for saving the export, with Save as type options of either XML or CSV. The latter provides a display of all domains and user IDs with an option to display the actual passwords. If a master password exists, the above will require that it be entered. Viewing the actual passwords in step #4 after selecting the View Saved Passwords button will requiire the master password to be entered a second time. -- David E.
