   Extensions in the profile will have their XPIs there, under   
   "extensions/", IIRC. Some may use an alphanumeric identifier instead of   
   their name, but you can see the mapping in about:support.   
      
   And yes, it's a good idea to keep copies of extensions, even just so   
   that you have a copy of what you installed, in case there is, for some   
   reason, some change not present in another release, even with similar or   
   the same version number.   
      
      
   (There might be, BTW, a scenario where installation (or rather,   
   initialization on the first SeaMonkey startup after the extension has   
   been installed) may silently fail under Windows NT, I think if the   
   source of the XPI is seen as a network share.)
