The problem was only in Firefox. Firefox requires extensions to be digitally signed with a certificate that traces back through intermediate certificates to root certificates installed with the browser. The problem was caused because an intermediate certificate expired and was not replaced, a negligent act by Mozilla. SeaMonkey does not require extensions to be signed, at least in the current end-user release 2.49.4. -- David E.
