Hmmm... I had tried it during the betas (not by editing install.rdf,
just by disabling compatibility check) and I couldn't make it work. I
mean, I could install it, but I couldn't use it. But you said it worked,
so I gave it another try...

...turns out that the problem I had (couldn't open the Multizilla
Preferences) had an easy workaround: just go to the add-on manager,
select Multizilla and click on "options." This is the second extension
in which I noticed this -- apparently there was some other path to the
extension Preferences in the old code that no longer works. The
QuickPrefs button on the Multizilla toolbar seems to be broken, so I
disabled it.

Well, it's not perfect, but this Multizilla seems to be very close to
full functionality on SM2. Gives me some hope that the toolkit
conversion eventually will be finished.

Googlebox, though, I couldn't even *install* -- got a "missing
installation script" message.

The other good news I got this weekend... yesterday I visited Johannes
Schellen's site, to check on his most excellent "Pinball" theme and,
while there isn't a 2.0 version yet, he posted a "stay tuned" remark
regarding it. So it *seems* he is working on converting it to SM2.
