If I right-click on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ 's [+ Add to Firefox], save the link , then in about:addons tool menu > Install Add-on From File.. , I get "pdf.js could not be installed because it is not compatible with SeaMonkey 2.8".

The fix is to add a section to install.rdf for SeaMonkey, per guides like http://www.leduotang.com/sylvain/node/143 . I added

```diff
*** install.rdf~ 2012-02-10 16:14:37.000000000 -0800

This is enough to allow me to install the rezipped XPI and then it shows up in about:addons.

I'm not sure how to make pdf.js work in SeaMonkey, clicking on local PDFs launches my external PDF viewer as before.
I don't know how to get an add-on listed on addons.mozilla.org for SeaMonkey.
