I'm running SeaMonkey v2.46 on a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit system with the Creators Update version 1703 installed.

This morning when I started SeaMonkey, it opened several tabs. Each one said something like "SeaMonkey v2.46 would like to update your <plug-in name> plug-in. Each of these mentioned a different plug-in.

I was in a hurry and I generally do all updates manually wherever possible. I did not click on anything in any of these tabs. I closed all of them individually and then shut down SeaMonkey.

When I re-started SeaMonkey, I immediately noticed that the PrefBar plug-in was not running. I opened the add-ons manager and found that all my installed plug-ins were disabled.

I was able to turn the ones I wanted back on, and everything appears to be running normally now.

I have never seen anything like this from SeaMonkey before, and I found it alarming. Did anyone else experience this? I'm wondering if it was a legitimate request from SeaMonkey or if it was malware? Comments?

John
