I resisted upgrading from 2.0.14 for all this time because of all the
controversy on this group. However today after daily reminders to
upgrade stared me in the face for the umpteenth time, I just bit the
bullet and clicked on "yes". The automated upgrading took all of 3
minutes to download and install, and went flawlessly. I can't find a
single problem yet; and even some sites which didn't accept SM before
(due to non-supported browser), now do accept it. I suppose that is
because Firefox is now ID'ed instead of SeaMonkey? That's certainly OK
by me!
So, thanks, developers. I can now feel ever so much safer again without
guilt.

My situation was similar to yours - elected to update from 2.0x
(2.0.0.14) to 2.3.3 after continuing reminders but would not be able
to suggest update was flawless. Clearly we are dealing with a
different format for Bookmarks now but in my update post-install I
note that of my add-ons - only 10 of 20 installed extensions were
"able" to work in 2.3.3 and thus I now have 10 add-ons - that are
disabled in this version. Had the option to uninstall 2.3.3 to either
revert to 2.0x or then move to 2.1 or 2.2 where more of these worked
or "still-worked" - likely that route would have been taken by "me".
TWT but likely a "required" update just due to security flaws that
removes many of the "browser tools" users rely on is not going to be
"widely appreciated".
Rather than disable add-ons and then install and then check for add-on
updates, a screen of add-ons and then advice which if any are
supported by the new version prior to installation authorization is
provided by user would "ruffle less feathers".
My take....
You got a couple of options to get your other 10 Add-Ons to work.
You can install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter Add-On:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=api
If that doesn't work for you then you can edit the Install.rdf file for
each Add-On. Or contact the author of the 10 Add-Ons.
If you're interested n getting your 10 Add-Ons to work, reply and tell
us what Add-Ons aren't working.
