Hello,
Is any of these new advanced Seamonkey versions like 2.53 and above
going to drop XPI support
and move to WebEx like happened to Firefox ?
Firefox still uses XPI files to install extensions. It just no longer
supports the old XPCOM/XUL (aka legacy, aka classic) extensions. Judging
from the StatusMeetings Wiki page, most legacy extensions will cease to
work in SeaMonkey 2.54 due to Gecko API removals, WebExtensions will be
added in time for 2.57 (the next release after 2.53), non-bootstrapped
legacy extensions will be removed in 2.58, and support for legacy
extensions in general will be removed down the line. One of the
developers can correct me (or better yet, clarify the Wiki page) if I'm
misinterpreting it. In any case, I'm certain it'll be a long time
before we have to worry about it; after all, SeaMonkey 2.49.4 itself is
almost a year old, and so it'll probably be years at minimum until a
version that doesn't support legacy extensions is released.
