For extensions (XPI files), see my reply earlier today in this newsgroup under the subject "Can't download to install SM2.0 extensions on a clean/new installed SM2.1?" Note that this will not always work because some XPI files resist editing. I believe the compatibility of plugins (DLL files) rests primarily with the version of your operating system and only slightly with the version of your browser. I would be surprised if many plugins even check the version of your browser. However, they often do check the brand (e.g., IE, Chome, Firefox, SeaMonkey). The difference arises from the fact that Add-ons Manager -- a component of Firefox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird, etc -- handles the installation of extensions while your operating system handles the installation of plugins. -- David E.
