When I try to install BetterPrivacy 1.68 in SeaMonkey 2.6.1, I get the
following error: "BetterPrivacy could not be installed because it is
not compatible with SeaMonkey 2.6.1." I get this even when I attempt to
install directly from the AMO site (not my usual practice).
By the way, selecting the link
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/betterprivacy/>
redirects to
<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/>.
Examining the install.rdf file for 1.68, I believe SeaMonkey
compatibility was intentionally blocked.
For SeaMonkey, the install.rdf file has
<!--SeaMonkey-->
<Description RDF:about="rdf:#$dLacB4"
em:id="{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}"
em:minVersion="2.0a1"
em:maxVersion="2.6.*"
/>
Notice the "RDF:about", not the "em:maxVersion".
At the end of the install.rdf file, the line
that points to SeaMonkey has been commented out as
<!--em:targetApplication RDF:resource="rdf:#$dLacB4"/-->
Notice the "RDF:resource", which should be pointing to the "RDF:about".
However, strings bracketed between <!-- and --> are comments.
Good sleuthing on your part. I uncommented the targetApplication entry
and replaced the install.rdf file and it installed fine. Also, I noticed
that it's not listed when I searched the Seamonkey Addons Privacy
section,
