For obvious reasons, there are 2 versions of the Extensions- one for Linux and the other for Windows systems. Those for Win may not (yet) be available for Linux. You need to examine 'closely' the description of the Extension after you have selected it in the main selection area.
Huh?? What the hell are you talking about?
Have a look at the extensions called "MNG Support" and "Spiderzilla".
There aren't seperate versions of extensions based on OS. The same TBE that you install on Windows works on Linux. Same for every other extension I've used. Even those that access/run external programs.
Extensions are written in XUL/JavaScript. I just looked through the MozEX source and the only Windows specific thing I found was to use "C:\\windows\\temp" as the default temp directory and "\\" as a directory separator. I used to use the Leech extension before the pref dialog change (it never got updated and is pretty much dead - maybe I should learn XUL and revive it..). It's defaults were for windows style directories, but a quick change to the preferences, and it worked in Linux with no problems.
