User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050515 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050515 Firefox/1.0.4

1. When clicking the link "Tinderbox status icon" on the Seamonkey Tinderbox
page http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=SeaMonkey , an entry for
it appears briefly in the Extensions Manager but disappears from it with no
trace once installation is completed. After reloading the browser, an icon
appears on the status bar but there is no corresponding extension line in the
Extensions Manager -- the icon cannot be uninstalled AFAICT
2. Either left- or right-clicking on the icon opens the Seamonkey tinderbox page
unconditionally. There is no provision to make it refer, for instance, to the
Aviary-1.0.1 tinderbox instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click "Install tbox status icon" on the Seamonkey Tinderbox page
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=SeaMonkey -- the Extensions
Manager pops up with a new item at top.
2. Wait for loading to complete: the new item disappears without trace.
3. Close and restart the browser: there is a new icon near the right end of the
status bar.
4. The new icon cannot be uninstalled AFAICT

Actual Results:  
There is no Extensions manager item for Tinderbox Status; clicking the icon left
or right opens the Seamonkey tinderbox page unconditionally; no related
preference is seen in about:config

Expected Results:  
Software should have:
- Left a visible and uninstallable item in the Extensions Manager;
- Had a configurable property (by one or more of: right-clicking; "Options" in
Extensions Manager; a new menuitem in the Tools menu; about:config)
corresponding to the ?tree= property of the Tinderbox CGI page.

Ah, sorry. Just reported it at mozdev.org; I'm marking this as Verified (unless
Bugzilla doesn't let me).
