I'm a longtime Seamonkey user.   I'm coming from Slackware as free-nix dosent seem to be getting any love since Slackware went to version 15. Hence I'm here looking at Hyperbola.

Re iceape-uxp .  The invidious search is ace, but I have a few issues with other plugins. There seems to be no addons listed like there is for iceweasel  I've tried manually adding addons from palemoon but not had any success. I'd normally just us the converter page but it seems no more so  I tried the unpack rename the version to * and repacking. That would usually work on bog standard Seamonkey but to no avail on iceape-uxp.

The search is broken, in the searx instance 

gives  searx.privatenet.cf could not be found. Please check the name and try again.

I can't seem to change it. 

I'm a terrible speller and use composer a lot just as an editor but the spell check does nothing as far as i can tell. 

Any clues would be much appreciated

Yes, on Iceape it's very difficult to get extensions, but hyperbola has some on the repos. UBlock Origin it's a must.

With Iceweasel you would have more extensions.

On FreeNix, they had hints to free Slackware 15, but it's not a proved method as propietary software may still be installed.

Hyperbola works well enough for me even if the repo it's far smaller, but I already got used to a minimalist setup: special Gnuplot build without QT/WX, custom Yacas Build, Icewm+Rox based DE (among other addons)..., custom qt2/3 zukitre build plus qt5-styleplugins...

Instead of Java, I'm filling my OOP prototyping needs for applications with Unicon, even if it's currently lacking Unicode (it will get it soon, I think) and XFT support.

Mozilla MDN has deleted many of its XUL pages.

You can use RealityRipple’s UDN instead.

Thankfully...

I also noticed he has a flashgot fork on his website as well...

I wondered if you were going to mention this though.

I look forward to icedove-uxp's return.

Thank you btw regarding your updates in general.

As well as that interesting addon.

I have not been able to find a comprehensive XUL extension introduction. I've tried to learn by example from some iceweasel-uxp extensions, but they are either way more complicated than my extension or are bootstrapped (mine isn't). Mozilla MDN has deleted many of its XUL pages. Most of th XUL tutorials online are about writing full applications.

I've packaged and loaded my extension in the browser. The browser gives no error messages or warnings. I've validated my javascript. All I need to know is how to get the browser to run my extension. The code is just completely ignored.
