My question is on-topic because it relates to the operation of Add-ons
Manager and the disabling of a SeaMonkey plug-in.  Or were you referring
to your own reply as off-topic?

By the way, I have Windows XP Home Edition Version 5.1 (Build
2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.101209-1647: Service Pack 3), which is still being
maintained by Micro$oft and is thus current.
