Suddenly, the only extensions I can access are the ones on the Pale Moon extensions page. In other words, it isn't looking for Firefox extensions. This has never happened before. Suggestions?
Thanks

Re: Extensions Issue
And you are correct, FF extentions are no longer available on our own add-on/extentions page.

Wait, are you telling me that it's no longer possible to use Firefox extensions with Pale Moon? When did this happen and why? I must have been out to lunch!

You need to switch AMO to classic desktop mode to be able to install add-ons directly from there. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "View classic desktop site" or install Moon Tester Tool, which does it automatically.

Re: Extensions Issue
No, you can still use "legacy" Firefox extensions with Pale Moon, the same as always... But now that Mozilla only supports WebExtensions, the extensions that work with Pale Moon may get harder to find, and they are likely to remove them from addons.mozilla.org entirely, so to prevent confusion, the Pale Moon Add-ons Team decided to stop connecting to AMO from the add-ons manager, etc. You can read the announcement here.Quiller99 wrote:Wait, are you telling me that it's no longer possible to use Firefox extensions with Pale Moon?
