I use the Flashblock add-on in Firefox which comes up OK when I search for "Flashblock" with the Firefox Add-ons Manager, along with 23 other related add-ons. When I try the same search in SeaMonkey2.2, only one add-on is found, NoScript, which is related but not what I want. I had to do a google search to locate the Flashblock website, discover thereby that a SeaMonkey version is available, and download it directly from there: http://flashblock.mozdev.org/ The latest versions of Flashblock for Firefox and SeaMonkey were released a week ago on July 8, 2011.
Another add-on which I use in Firefox is Titlebar Tweaks Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/titlebar-tweaks-plus/ This comes up along with 36 other related add-ons if I search for "Titlebar" with the Firefox Add-ons Manager, but SeaMonkey only finds 3 related add-ons. I also tried a google search and apparently a SeaMonkey version of this add-on is not available. Some relevant questions come to mind: -Did former versions of SeaMonkey search better, or is this a bug in SeaMonkey2.2? -Are a lot fewer add-ons available for SeaMonkey compared to Firefox? -Are the add-on developers not registering their add-ons properly so they'll be found with SeaMonkey searches? Or what? -Is there any way to test/try a Firefox compatible add-on in SeaMonkey if a SeaMonkey version is not officially available (such as my Titlebar Tweaks Plus example above)? -- J.Q.P.
