Can't Install Search Plugins from APMO to PM 26.5

Unread post by coffeebreak » 2016-11-10, 22:57

I can't install search plugins to PM 26.5 from the PM Add-ons Site. (Installing search plugins to PM 27.0.0b3 works fine.) Also, there's no problem installing search plugins from elsewhere to 26.5, eg. from AMO. Clicking to install produces an 'Install Error' message and error in console. Tested with a fresh profile. (Win 7 x86)

Console:

Code: Select all

Error: Invalid argument passed to window.sidebar.addSearchEngine: Unsupported search engine URL
Source File: resource://app/components/nsSidebar.js Line: 43

'Install Error' message:

Perhaps an issue with the new addons site code; something for Tobin to look into.

The problem was that Pale Moon 26 requires a fully qualified URI with the scheme and domain name. While Tycho doesn't care if the URI was relative. Incidently, I made this mistake once already when I set up the Search Plugins page the first time :P

Anyway, RESOLVED FIXED - https://github.com/Pale-Moon-Addons-Team/phoebus/commit/89fb79d9170720f84038ce3158e0a009b1debf37

In the future, however, any issues with the Add-ons Site should be filed as actual bugs at the repository.
