Hello,

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/return-youtube-dislikes/
Is it possible to make it work in old SeaMonkey?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

How old?

Reading the docs
<https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike/blob/main/Docs/FAQ.md>
I wondered if this would actually be useful since it just hacks up a
dislike count to replace the count that was removed by G (but I think is
still visible to the creator when logged in? -- apparently disliking a
video is harassment). You still don't get the count stored by YT.

However the User JS version of the extension seems to be
syntax-compatible with SM 2.53.15 (use the Raw link):

<https://github.com/Anarios/return-youtube-dislike/blob/main/Extensions/UserScript/Return%20Youtube%20Dislike.user.js>

You'll want a GreaseMonkey-compatible User JS manager: this seems to be
a possible link
<https://o.rthost.win/boc-uxp/greasemonkey-3.31.4-pm_sm_ia_bn.xpi>: see
<https://msfn.org/board/topic/182647-my-browser-builds-part-3/?do=findComment&comment=1212513>.

Or it should be possible to install the script using NoScript.

That sounds complex. Wasn't there an addon converter for SeaMonkey?

I don't think so, Modern Firefox extensions (Quantum) are incompatible
with "legacy" browsers (pre-Firefox 57, Palemoon, SeaMonkey, and other
forks), so unless a Legacy version of the extension was written, most
likely not

If anyone wants to try it, the addon converter is here:

It works for some addons, but don't get your hopes up.

"install.rdf not found in installer". Oh well. I guess I'll have to use Firefox for it. :(

Yes, there certainly was .... but a quick look through my Bookmarks has
failed to show up anything. Is it, perhaps, on the Thunderbird site??
