The questions by the person who posted the original message are: 1. If you disable a plugin via the Add-On Manager, will it still be disabled when you update SeaMonkey? 2. If you disable a plugin via the Add-On Manager, will it still be disabled when you update the application that provided the plugin (specifically, Adobe Reader)? >From the originator's responses in this thread, it appears that the answers to both questions are "no", at least for his configuration. -- David E.
