Any chance of getting FireFTP, Colorful Tabs, and TinyURL Creator updated to work with SeaMonkey 2?
Thanks for all the good work!

Phil, I'd like to add my request for
TinyURL Creator--this is version 2.0 of the extension that allows the user to choose other link shrinking service sites besides tinyURL itself--along with Ant (who posted his request in the SM support newsgroup). I've tried to hack the install.rdf of this extension myself, but the older coding (it uses an install.js for SM 1.1.x) has me stumped in terms of making it recognizable to SM 2's compatibility checker.
By adding in an application target section for SM 2 to the install.rdf
and switching off the compatibility check, I've been able to get this extension to successfully work in SM 2. However, this install is kludgy, and the continual burp of the Add-Ons Manager that "compatibility checking is disabled" gets old.
I know you're overloaded with requests, but this particular one is all on you, since the author, Jeremy Gillick, has a defunct contact e-mail (mail is undeliverable and it doesn't ping at all), and likewise hasn't responded to posts for TinyURL Creator in its respective Mozdev newsgroup. But, who knows? Maybe you have other means of getting in touch with him...
Link shrinking services have their pros and cons, but I and others find them useful, and TinyURL Creator is the best extension of the lot. Version 2.0 of the extension is available at the author's website
http://mozmonkey.com/ at the bottom.
Thanks at least for taking a look at this. If I could translate the older coding of the install.rdf and some of what appears to be encrypted references, I'd give this a crack myself, but I just can't make heads or tails of it with the spotty hacking instructions available for extensions with regard to SM 2.
