When installing software (new or updates), I normally download the installer file (the XPI file for extensions) and disable my Internet connection. During installation, I have an application running that logs all changes to files and the Windows registry; and I don't want extraneous changes resulting from other applicatins accessing the Internet (e.g., my clock synchronizer, automatic updates to my anti-virus database). Thus, it appears that several extensions are incompatible with SeaMonkey 2.1 when, with an Internet connection, they are not. However, this does not help with those extensions that are not at addons.mozilla.org; even with an Internet connection, they appear incompatible until I tweak the maximum SeaMonkey version in their install.rdf files. -- David E.
