Pale Moon Add-ons Website Download Links Topic is solved

[LAR Grizzly]

Just had an update to "I Don't Care About Cookies 3.2.1". I went to the Add-ons website to download the .xpi file and found that the download links have "javascript:void(0)". When I right click the link, there is no option to download. I checked a few other extensions and I get the same thing. I tried a new profile with the same results. Same in Firefox and SeaMonkey as well. Is the site temporarily on the fritz?

It works for me. You just need JavaScript turned on. Also don't open any of the links in a new tab; just click them normally.

I understand. I disable JavaScript too. I also understand your desire to download the XPI file itself.

I don't have JavaScript turned off. I even tried a new profile. Left clicking on the link will start the install for me, but I want to download the .xpi. Right clicking on the link displays no "Save Link As" dialog.

I face the same malfunction.

Unfortunately the add-ons site has been modified to prevent people from downloading the xpi directly.

Thanks coffeebreak, that explains it. It's too bad. I used the .xpi files to install/upgrade my add-ons on my machines that aren't connected to the Internet at all times. Saves me time and aggravation. I prefer complete offline file downloads for software, instead of those stub installers, for the same reason. I don't have to have all of my machines online to upgrade them.

Just install the extension and copy the .xpi from your profile's extension directory
Since the files are saved as <extension ID>.xpi, you can match extension name to ID from the about:support page.

Yeah, I can do that, but downloading from the add-ons site was much easier.

You do know the button does say "Install Now" right?
