Okay, quick SeaMonkey question, how do I uninstall themes/extensions?

It depends on where you installed the themes/add-on. You are goven, AFAIK, the option to install in the program on the profile. Obviously, if the add-ons are installed in the program, they should be gone on uninstallation. It is a bit trickier if installed in the profile, and you do not want to keep an unattached profile with add-ons. It should not, really matter, because if you want to use the profile, and, later, you install another program which picks up the profile, your add-on may not be compatible, and you could ignore it. You could go into your profile, and delete the add-on folder, which has a multiletter and number description. You find out which add-on it is by looking at the chrome content, generally. A much cleaner way is to have installed the extention uninstaller extention (isn't awkward) and its accompanying .api file . The website tells you how to do it.
The new Seamonkey2.0, if ever released, will have Firefox/Thunderbird-like extention manager.

Hi there, I am new @ Sillydog as a poster, but have been reading your forum for years to keep track of new things in browser land. Reason for posting is that I have been a Mozilla suite user for years and still am a more or less faithful SeaMonkey fan (typing this in FF though)...

SeaMonkey 1.1.9 finally broke my favorite XUL application: the 'obsolete' Tab Browser Extensions version 2 made by Piro Sakura.

I guess it has something to do with the fix for the MFSA 2008-19 vulnerability "XUL popup spoofing variant (cross-tab popups)".
Piro's application in his earlier Tab Browser Extension version 2.0 provides in "tab colors". The parent tab will get an assigned color, child tabs the same color, colored tabs can be grouped, etc.

Although there are some extensions out there that also do tab coloring, they do not have this same basic logic, or they do not work well with other extensions...

I confess having downgraded to 1.1.8 again, trying to find fixes for most of the other vulnerabilities.

Wow! Really faithful to something which is added to the basic program!
But, I see what you mean. Colorful Tabs worked ok, but it is no longer working in SM1.1.9 or 2.0a1pre, as well as 3.0beta5. In fact, there was a beta for 3.0, but it broke when beta5 came out. This is very common, and, only the author of the extention can get around the problem.
