I thought that only worked on Fx. I don't think much of it. Mel's extension 
is FAR SUPERIOR.

What I need is not to try and use the version of TBE that was disabled. It 
is very old and I can't imagine that it would work. It is now called Tree 
Style Tabs and Multiple Tab Handler. I need to be able to install Tree Style 
Tabs and see if it will work. I need to be able to disable SeaMonkey's 
blocking of installation of extensions that supposedly won't work on 
SeaMonkey. I need MR Tech for this as it would disable blocking and would 
handle the installation and then I could see if it works at all, partially, 
or should work fully.

The addons (bad word ...it is an extension ...not an addon... Mozilla thinks 
its users are so illiterate that they don't know the word extension) 
reporter will not make it so I can download and install Tree Style Tabs. It 
just enables extensions you ALREADY HAVE that have been disabled. It is 
nothing compared to MR Tech and it is a grave loss to no longer have MR Tech 
except sort of working on Fx4. Another reason I will not upgrade Fx 4 as 
then MR Tech might not work at all.

I'm going to uninstall SeaMonkey. I can't stand it not having Tree Style 
Tabs and Multiple Tab Handler. Otherwise, I like SeaMonkey but it was a 
better browser before it decided to imitate Fx and even identify as Fx which 
is really sick. SeaMonkey should have remained SeaMonkey and remained true 
to itself.  I wish I had not installed it on top of itself so I could go 
back to the version from 2009 where TBE still worked.
