Test/fix interoperability with SeaMonkey

[WilsonKathleen]

From a user, posted in mozilla.dev.security.policy: I downloaded Certificate Manager 1.0.2, used the Extension Converter for SeaMonkey at http://addonconverter.fotokraina.com/ in an attempt to make it compatible with SeaMonkey, and installed in SeaMonkey 2.39 on Windows 7. I did not get the icon you describe.

Should work with SeaMonkey without use of the Extension Converter

If you add seamonkey to the package.json "engines" list, it runs and the addon settings window in seamonkey shows it installed.

Here's a diff:

diff --git a/addon/package.json b/addon/package.json
index 1eb6142..84ed047 100644
--- a/addon/package.json

   "engines": {
+    "seamonkey": ">=2.40",
     "firefox": ">=38.0a1"
   },
   "license": "MIT",

But no button appears. I'm guessing it has something to do with instantiation of a component not available in seamonkey. Not sure which one. Here's some debug output.

I was able to get the plugin to install by making a more traditional installer, using chrome and xul. In order to make our javascript compatible with SeaMonkey, you need to change all of the component acronyms to their full names because they do not exist in SeaMonkey(ie. Cc -> Component.Classes).

However, our Firefox plugin uses some jpm modules that have not been implemented in SeaMonkey, most notably PageWorkers. In order to make the plugin fully functional, you will need to track down how each of these is implemented in Firefox and then reverse engineer them for SeaMonkey.
