Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (x64)
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.38

I just now installed SeaMonkey 2.38. When I view the lists of
extensions or themes via the Add-ons Manager, the version numbers no
longer are displayed. I can get them one-at-a-time by selecting the
More link for each; but this does not give me a view of all of them at
once.  One developer asserted that selecting [Tools > Troubleshooting
Information] from the menu bar provides the all-at-once listing of
extension version numbers; however, that does not provide the version
numbers of any themes.  (Actually, the developer's comment was expressed
in terms of Firefox and involves requesting about:support.)

Bug #1175324 was already submitted and then marked as Closed/WontFix by
the developers, who assert that users did not want version numbers all
together.  Several users (including me) commented in that bug report
that the developers really do not know what users really want.  I marked
the bug report Reopened and noted the lack of any bug report requesting
the removal of version numbers, which indicates bad configuration
management practices.  See
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175324>.

Fortunately, PrefBar's InfoList button does supply the version numbers
all at once and also links to the extensions' Web sites.
