About this Add-on
This extension will convert the Seamonkey browser to be similar to Firefox 3.x. It is not meant to be an exact duplicate of any specific version of Firefox, as I don't think any version was ever "perfect" to be worth exactly duplicating. In fact, there are several features that I've tried to "improve" over the Firefox implementation.
This is for fans of Firefox who are dismayed with current Firefox UI direction. Because it disables and changes some features, people accustomed to SeaMonkey may not enjoy it. If you only want tab closers, please use SeaTab-X-2: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/seatab-x-2/
When you first install Sea Fox, there will be a First Run panel listing Opt Ins and Opt Outs for preference changes. This is not a live "Options" panel, but the settings can be changed at any time using the following listings in about:config:
First-run preference changes:
- Show close buttons on all tabs: browser.tabs.closeButtons
- Open new tabs at the end of the tab bar: browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

In addition to the SeaMonkey Default and Modern themes, SeaFox is compatible with all SeaMonkey themes I have tested against. To complete the Firefox look, try one of these:
Firefox 3 Theme for SeaMonkey:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-seamonk/
Classic Firefox Theme for SeaMonkey:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/classic-firefox-theme-for-seam/
Classic Toolbar Buttons:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/cstbb/
Addons Sea Fox replaces:
- Sea Tab X: code borrowed with the Sea Tab X developer's permission and blessing.
- Old Default Image Style: Sea Fox uses a different method to restore the old top level images look.
- Combined Stop/Reload CSS hacks or extensions. This is built-in as of version 0.2.2.
