I rebuilt machine recently and apt-get installed seamonkey 1.1.9 from ubuntu official repository, though current stable version of seamonkey is 1.1.10. One of the major reason of using mozilla types of browsers are the existing excellent addons. The very first one I always install is Adblock Plus. My my previous experiences, the seamonkey doesn't support installation into local profile of Adblock Plus. When you install it, you will get the error message as following:
"This extension requires write access to the application directory to install properly. currently write access to some of the relevant subdirectories is forbidden, you probably have to log in as root before installing. after installation no elevated privileges will be necessary, read access is sufficient to use Adblock Plus."
The only way is to let Adblock Plus installed into application directory, for example: /usr/lib/seamonkey/. So you will need to:
1. using root privilige mode to start seamonkey, for example: (sudo seamonkey) .
2. install Adblock Plus at privilliged mode.
3. start seamonkey as normal.
However, the above approch doesn't fix the lastest version Adblock Plus 0.7.5.5 along with seamonkey 1.1.9 . As reported in the following link in Adblock Plus forum:
http://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2550&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
The symptoms are: 1) you installed Adblock Plus at root mode without problem, but when you switch back to normal seamonkey startup. The addon wasn't there. 2) the size of bottom toolbar of seamonkey is larger and ugly than normal. it messed up.
The solution now is to install eariler version of Adblock Plus 0.7.5.4, you can select earilier version option from mozilla addons page. It works fine for me.
