I go to <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/fontinfo/>,
but I get redirected to
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fontinfo/>.  There, the
Download Now button is gray and not a link.  Since it is not a link, I
cannot download the .xpi file.  This happens whether or not I enable
"Advertise Firefox compatibility".  This does not happen if I spoof
Firefox without SeaMonkey in the UA string.

On the other hand, I go to
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/222517/> and get the
SeaMonkey page.  I see "Not available for SeaMonkey 2.22.1".  The
Download Now button is gray, but it is indeed a link from which I can
download the .xpi file.

Desiree should check the URI in the SeaMonkey address area (URI bar) to
see if it cites "seamonkey" or "firefox".
