Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar (Moon Tester Tool won't install) Topic is solved

[back2themoon]

Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar seems like a very useful (Jetpack) extension. Tried to test with the Moon Tester Tool but I get the Jetpack warning and installation is blocked. I thought the Tool allowed every installation? (could be wrong ofc)

This is made using cfx, which we aren't compatible with.

The only Jetpack add-ons we are compatible with are those using jpm (i.e. minimum Firefox version is 38.0a1).

Ah ok, thanks Lootyhoof. A pity, that extension would save me a lot of clicks.

It is indeed very useful, and the reason I'm stuck on 26.5 now! Still works in Firefox 52, but Web Extensions will probably put a stop to that and many other extensions as well.

Here is a quick port of Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar for Pale Moon 27. Please note that original add-on doesn't work with multiple windows and can't expand new folders until restart. As for now Pale Moon version has the same limitations. I'll fix it when I have a spare time.

JustOff is definitely one of the most inspirational contributers around here. i have some ideas for addons that i want to learn to code in the future and you're the sole reason for me wanting to do so

That's really kind, many thanks JustOff. Works just fine.

That's brilliant JustOff. Don't know how you did it so fast, but thanks very much for taking the trouble.

Responsive Bookmarks Toolbar was rewritten in pure javascript without SDK. This resolved problems inherited from Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar: memory leaks, handling of multiple windows, new folders tracking and correct work after customize. Now also availiable at Pale Moon Add-ons Site.

Perfect! I'd always been surprised at how few users there were, so maybe your version with a different title will attract more. Thanks again.

Hi JustOff!

Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar installed OK
in my PM 27.2.1 /Ubuntu Linux 32-bit.

My Bookmarks are shown as a left-side vertical menu,
via the useful addon:
"All-in-One Sidebar" - version: 0.7.21.1-signed.
pls see:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... e-sidebar/

Seems that "Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar"
does not auto-open any Bookmark folder on mouse hover
in that left-side menu, as intended.
(I still have to click on any Bookmarks Folder to see its contents...).

Any suggestions, ideas?
Thanks JustOff!

@SfdudePM. Mouseover Bookmarks Toolbar and JustOff's new PM version Responsive Bookmarks Toolbar were never intended to auto open sidebar folders - only bookmarks folders in the bookmarks toolbar.

@Scribe:
Understood.
Thank you my friend!
