Compatibility Reports for v25 (Archive)

Unread post by New Tobin Paradigm » 2014-08-19, 04:06

Here is an example for anyone wondering! Also for my own record keeping :P

Addon: Tiny Menu
AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... tiny-menu/

Problem: Installs but does not function.

Exploration into this addon shows that it happens to be for multiple programs and it's xul overlay code in chrome.manifest calls the Firefox GUID. This can be solved and returned to a working state by changing or duplicating the chrome.manifest lines to use the Pale Moon GUID.

Code: Select all

# Firefox windows
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul                             chrome://tinymenu/content/tinymenu-overlay.xul application={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}

# Pale Moon windows
overlay chrome://browser/content/browser.xul                             chrome://tinymenu/content/tinymenu-overlay.xul application={8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}
Additionally, I have done those modifications and since this addon does not any longer have a developer (abandoned) I have changed the install.rdf to reflect this is for Pale Moon specifically.

Code: Select all

    <!-- Pale Moon -->
    <em:targetApplication>
      <Description>
        <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id>
        <em:minVersion>25.0</em:minVersion>
        <em:maxVersion>25.*</em:maxVersion>
      </Description>
Of course I do not expect you guys to actually FIX the addon but merely report it. Though if you CAN fix it it would be helpful!

These 4 add-ons have compatibility issues in PM 25.0 b1

Adblock Plus 2.6.4 (Installed, seems to function but no icon so no configurability) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... lock-plus/

Adblock Edge 2.1.4 (Ditto) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... lock-edge/

Add-on Update Checker 2.7 (Installed but non functional due to no toolbar icon) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... e-checker/

Toggle Javascript 0.5 (Ditto) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... toggle-js/

Note: Had a brief look at MaxVersion status but that doesn't appear to be be the problem on either of the above.

I think all those addons are multi-program so they used per-app overlays determined by GUID so yeah.. See my previous post!

I would like to participate but if you could make a v25 beta portable version which does not interfere with the desktop version, i would prefer.

You can use the advanced instructions on the portable page. Install a regular portable, then use the "unzip" method to place the replacement binaries in bin/

Extension: Self-Destructing Cookies 0.45
AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/a ... g-cookies/

Solution: ...

--------------------------------------------------

Extension: Compact Menu 3 Blue 4.6

Here are my findings so far:
-As expected, some extensions are broken. Adblock Plus does not appear anywhere in the browser shell, however settings can still be access via Addons Manager. Stylish column is doubled using Classicish Addons Manager, and a language translation tool I use no longer works https://github.com/badams/translator-firefox-addon.
-Google loads with legacy, or previous design as if it where flagging PM as an older browser (Of course Google will give us issues). Mapquest also has issues zooming in/out with mouse scroll. These are most likely the result of User Agent flags, I like the idea of PM using independent strings however from the looks of it there may have to be some exceptions added.
Aside from that all, everything in-browser wise seems to be coming along smoothly so far. If anything seems a bit lighter, and quicker at rendering sites.
(This was all tested under Pale Moon 25.0.0 Beta 2)

OS: Win7 Home Premium SP1 x64
Pale Moon 25b2

ForecastFox 2.2.2 has no icons in status bar. Seems to be the same root cause as Tobin's example with TinyMenu.

InvisibleHand 3.9.46 doesn't seem to work. It should drop down an 'info bar' from the top when you search google for most products. It should also do the same when viewing products on Amazon, Ebay, Newegg, etc. It does nothing on any of those sites.
Off-topic:
What happens if a large portion of addon developers just shrug when a handful of users ask for updates specific to Pale Moon? While FF has gone straight to crazy town and PM has kept on a much better path regarding UX, core design/performance, etc it seems one of the key things that kept people on FF or PM was the customization afforded by addons. If addon developers don't bother to cater to what they may see as a very small portion of users (assuming they even know about PM), then I fear that will lead PM users to leave PM itself.

Off-topic:
All efforts will be made to contact the extension developers and offer them not just a report of not working but as time permits solutions to their problem if one can be found.. If all reasonable attempts fail then the addon will be forked and made pseudo-static as a Pale Moon specific addon which could be picked up by someone later on and continued.
