Do NOT extract the files from within the XPI file. Instead, "view" the install.rdf file in a text editor application. (Winzip provides that capability.) Edit the viewed file and use the save (not save-as) operation of the editor. When you close the editor, you might be asked whether you want to save the result back into the XPI file; the answer is "yes". Then you install the extension in SeaMonkey from the XPI file via the Add-ons Manager, or you drag-and-drop the XPI file into the SeaMonkey rendering window. -- David E.
