This is the same as "File -> Work Offline" and the same as the "plug icon" on the lower right in the SeaMonkey window. As SeaMonkey has this one built in, it's mostly for Firefox, which doesn't have it. But if a SeaMonkey user wants to use this one: It will work there, too.

This menulist allows to switch the browser GUI language easily and so is especially interesting for everyone, who develops an addon, which is translated to more than one language. It also allows to switch to locales, you don't have a language pack installed into your browser!
To activate the new locale, you have three options:
- The next window, you open after changing the locale, uses the locale, you selected.
- You may use the "Reload Browser" button of the Addon Developer Buttons button set, to reload the current browser window with the new locale setting applied.
- The Restart browser button can be used to quickly restart the full browser with the locale, you selected in the menulist

Have you ever be interested in what software is running on the server, hosting the page, you are currently viewing? Then you need this button! On most servers it at least is able to fetch the name of the server software (Apache, ...) and the name of the operating system (Unix, Linux, ...). Many servers will even tell you which PHP version, MySQL version, ... they are running.
PrefBar 6.0.1 required to import this button!

This checkbox
replaces the mozilla-builtin support of a
userContent.css file. The CSS file has to be named "userstyle.css" and has to be placed in the same directory, you would place a userContent.css file to. If you already have a userContent.css file, you may just rename it.
This checkbox resolves two big issuses of the official user stylesheet support. At first you may enable/disable your CSS file without restarting your browser and at second, as checking the checkbox causes a reread of the CSS file, even modifications can be applied directly, without having to restart the browser, by just unchecking and rechecking the box.
As an additional feature, you may open the file into your preferred editor by shift+clicking on the box. If doing this for the first time, you'll get instructions on how to enable this.

This checkbox allows to enable/disable the
geolocation feature, part of current browsers. As this is always "opt-in" in both (SeaMonkey/Firefox), this is not as critical as it sounds like, but maybe someone wants to be able to kill down the feature completely.

Everyone knows the problem. You surf the web, click on a link and it opens in a new window (or tab) and not in the window, where you currently are. Unchecking this button disables most of the ways, webmasters may use to open new windows, and so it's finally your choice, where you want to open links.
I recommend you to disable this one after you've unchecked it, to not waste space. You most probably will never want to re-check it and will only need it again, if some other extension, or the browser itself, changes settings.

This button file contains one button to validate HTML and one to validate CSS using the services of w3c.org. The tabs are loaded in background and PrefBar tries to set the background color of the tab to red for failed and green for passed, so you don't have to switch to the tab to see the result.
