I created an XPI file for Search-Shield containing an install.rdf file indicating compatibility with SeaMonkey 2.4 through 2.9.* and installed it as an extension in SeaMonkey 2.6.1. I have seen no problems created by this. However, I don't know how to test whether it really works. I would need a search query for Google or Yahoo that gives a link to a malicious Web site. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/>.
