1. On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Edit > Preferences]. 2. On the Preferences window, select [Advanced > Software Installation] under Category (on the left side). 3. On the Software Installation pane, uncheck the "Allow web sites to install extensions and updates" checkbox. 4. Select the OK button. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
