 === Extensions and Plugins Compatibility Tracking ===
+* '''Featured Addon: [https://addons.mozilla.org/seamonkey/addon/mouse-gestures-suite/ Mouse Gestures Suite for Seamonkey]'''.
+** Mouse Gestures Suite is based on Firefox extension All-in-One Gestures and has been modified to work specifically with Seamonkey. The feature set is similar but many bug fixes have been made as well as some modifications to make it run on Seamonkey without problems.
+* '''[http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=2834855 Firefox & Thunderbird Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey]'''
+* This tool goes a little further beyond simply modifying install.rdf - it also identifies a few more other things in the code that are Firefox or Thunderbird specific and attempts to change them. Of course, not all extensions can be ported so easily to SeaMonkey since there's only so much an automated tool like that can do.<p>Add-on Converter for SeaMonkey: [http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/ http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/]
+** There is a long list of Firefox and Thunderbird extensions that have been successfully converted in the Mozillazine thread[http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=13564481#p13564481]. Can someone go through the thread and add the list of successful conversions to [[SeaMonkey/AddonCompat|SeaMonkey/AddonCompat]].
