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".
He was asking about TBE and MozEX, neither of which of OS specific versions as you implied.
As to the extensions you brought up:
It looks like the difference between Spiderzilla for Win and and Spiderzilla for Linux is that the Windows version includes the httrack program with it and the Linux version doesn't (instead just giving you a link to the source on the homepage). Whoopie! If I already had httrack on a Windows machine (assuming I had a Windows machine), I could use the Linux version with a few changes to the JavaScript part of the extension. Leech (which used wget) handled this difference better by keeping that kind of information in the configuration as opposed to the extension itself.
MNG Support is different because it's including a library of compiled code which is something that almost no other extension does. Eventually, I'm pretty sure that MNG support is going back into the standard Mozilla distribution. The reason it was disabled is because there was some stability issues with the current implementation.
Ok, sounds reasonable to me. -- Understanding only begins with the act of perception.
