Who is the admin of Mozdev? Now that we know mozillazine.org is not available then maybe he wouldn't mind letting us use a subdomain of mozdev.org - with an external hosting (just pointing DNS) so any server stuff happening to mozdev wouldn't affect the converter.

Undo Closed Tabs Button 3.9.1 doesn't work after conversion. It installs, and the buttons and context menu items turn up as expected, but they don't do anything when used.

This is an interesting extension because it uses a few things in the code which are different from their equivalents in SeaMonkey but the equivalents mostly exist so I was able to improve the converter to detect and replace them. As a result it appears that this extension is now fully functional in SM - try the converter again!

You might email Philip Chee and see if he can help in that regard, he's hosted projects on Mozdev for ages.

Yeah, seems to work perfectly. Chalk it up as a success. Thanks.

Wow, thanks, I didn't know there were nominations for such things! Does this have anything to do with the macabre Happy Tree Friends? :D

Great! Who would have thought that such a tiny little extension could be very useful to someone :)

According to Asa's blog, this tradition has been around since 2001, thus even before the 1.0 release of the Mozilla Suite. 8-)

By the way: The SeaMonkey version is of course Friends of the Fish Tank!

Great, I've added it to the list with a few others that seem to work.

Thanks to this, I've discovered a hidden shortcut in SeaMonkey: Ctrl+Alt+F :lol:

Yeah, that's a nice one - there should be an about:fishcam URL to make it more obvious. 8-)

After learning about this tool, I used it to install FireForm. FireForm is working as expected on my system with SM 2.26. Thanks for the tool!

This is just a 5 minute hack that puts 'Tiny Menu' on the left side of the Nav Bar (which is where I always it :)) - http://franklion.co.uk/Tiny-menu-nav-bar.xpi (that's a direct install link)

Sometime, I'll look at my Compact Menu 3 stuff.

Quite good for a 5-minute hack :). However, the ability to access the menu with the alt key has been lost. And there are some weird things going on when trying to reorganize buttons around the menu button. So for now I think I prefer the original Tiny Menu. However, getting CM3 to work in SM would be cool 8-)
