   I should have added that you may need to download the xpi file, unzip    
   it, adjust the firefox versions supported by editing the install.rdf    
   file and then re-zip including the modified install.rdf file. It should    
   install fine then.   
      
   The bit of install.rdf to change is:-   
      
           
             
            {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}   
            3.5.*   
            1.0   
             
      
   You need to "bump up" the  line from 3.5 to include the    
   version of Firefox in use; maybe change it to 4.5   
      
   While I'm not using Firefox myself I can say that the above trick works    
   fine to get this extension working with Seamonkey Build identifier:    
   Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1) - oh, sorry, left    
   Seamonkey reporting itself as IE7; the build is actually Mozilla/5.0    
   (OS/2; Warp 4.5; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101205 Firefox/4.0b8pre    
   SeaMonkey/2.1b2pre which is pretty much the same browser code as Firefox 4.   
      
   Regards
