I do not have many extensions installed; but I would find surfing the Web difficult without PrefBar, whose toolbar I use in place of SeaMonkey's personal toolbar. PrefBar comes with a preset list of spoofing user agent (UA) strings. I sometimes update that list when I actually see the UA string of a newer version of Firefox or Internet Explorer. Updating is simple. My SeaMonkey extensions are * Adblock Plus 1.1.3 (http://adblockplus.org/) * DOM Inspector 2.0.4 (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/inspector/) * Flashblock 1.3.16 (http://flashblock.mozdev.org/) * Live HTTP headers 0.16 * PrefBar 5.0.2 (http://prefbar.mozdev.org/) * Show Password On Input 0.1.3 (https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/6143/) The DOM Inspector was delivered with SeaMonkey and not something I chose to install. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> Go to Mozdev at <http://www.mozdev.org/> for quick access to extensions for Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, and other Mozilla-related applications. You can access Mozdev much more quickly than you can Mozilla Add-Ons. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
