A simple comparison of the plugins available for firefox/palemoon opposed to the plugins available in the seamonkey addons area shows you a great deal. Not all are able to be converted and or work right when they are, it took me a long time to find a replacement for the 'self destructing cookies' addon but I eventually did. It's called 'close and forget' I already converted it and its available in our small converted library in the lxle forums. http://www.lxle.net/forums/discussion/885/converted-firefox-addons#Item_3 _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
