add-on compatibility issue

Unread post by xuuxou » 2020-08-05, 01:07

Starting from version v28.11.0 ,
Many add-on show that "It may not function properly or cease to function".
In particular, the function of Tab Utilities Phoenix , "Open new tabs next to current tab" no longer works,
Can this issue be fixed?
Thank you

I recommend reading over the stickied post, "About using Firefox extensions on Pale Moon."

Which purposefully, is also linked to from that very entry in your add-ons manager. :roll:

Are you using the version specifically ported to Pale Moon and not the older one for Firefox? I use Tab Mix Plus and it works great.

According to Palemoon Release notes http://www.palemoon.org/releasenotes.shtml
v28.11.0 (2020-07-14) Changes/fixes
"Added a preference (browser.tabs.insertAllAfterCurrent) to enable always adding new tabs after the current tab, whether related or not"

I test with clean new profile, no addons
setting "browser.tabs.insertAllAfterCurrent" (either true or false)and
"browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent" (either true or false),
insertAllAfterCurrent doesn't work
did I missing something.

What were you expecting it to do that it isn't doing?

the source code from tabbrowser.xml
don't work like expected.

if (Services.prefs.getBoolPref("browser.tabs.insertAllAfterCurrent", false) ||
((aRelatedToCurrent == null ? aReferrerURI : aRelatedToCurrent) &&
Services.prefs.getBoolPref("browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent")))
{ // ---------------- }

Why are you talking about source code? I asked a simple question, what were you expecting that setting to do?
