I don't allow websites to install anything, so it's a bit easier for me :) have you tried about:config, search for xpinstall, & add the desired sites to xpinstall.whitelist? http://www-archive.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7rc3/README.html To protect users from installing malicious code unintentionally, extensions and add-ons can now only be installed from trusted sites on a "whitelist". The whitelist can be altered by changing the xpinstall.whitelist.add preference. The feature can be disabled by setting xpinstall.whitelist.required to false. Not exactly "user friendly", but that's where FF is going these days. OTOH, you can use whatever editor you like on user.js & bypass the browser UI Regards, Lee _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
