When browsing all add-ons, there are several I would like to add, for instance Weather Channel or IMDB, but when I click "Add to SeaMonkey" I get the dialogue box

"Sorry, you need a Mozilla-based browser (such as Firefox) to install a search plugin"

Hmmm...  I thought SeaMonkey was a Mozilla-based browser.   ;-)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Add-on manager
2. select Browser all add-ons
3. search for Weather (or IMDB)
4. click Add to SeaMonkey

This are opensearch "plugins" but SM currently supports only sherlock plugins.
