since a long time I have been a quiet Palemoon user, I am glad for the efforts of maintenance and constant improvements!
Unfortuantely I am using the portable version from the beginnig and a lot stuff might be from older addons and such, but I was too lazy to set it up anew. There are countless changes to about:config I can not remember...
So this as first information.
Starting this topic about an old addon, never flagged as compatible for my Firefox/Palemoon version, but working flawless ever since.
Versions (wfx_Versions) 1.0 by aNDreas Bolotă (mozilla link and author website)
Description says:
So the addon opens a window where you can add a list of websites to check for changes in version numbers for example. And from this window you can press "scan" to see the list being checked.I have around 30 entries in 2 lists.Allows you to find out the current version number of any program downloadable online. Emulates the behavior of Versions (© Fabio Chelly) file-system plugin for Total Commander (© Christian Ghisler).
With the new version of Palemoon (15.0) it is not working properly, stopping at a certain pointand doing nothing. Some times it is doing fine for 5 entries, another time up to 15...
So is there some kind of a timer, how a script like this might run..? I am not familiar with any technical details, so I tried to describe what I have noticed.
As mentioned before the addon is totally outdated, but besides the Palemoon itself I did not change anything within my browser (okay some plugin updates, java and flash).
Is here anyone else using this addon? Or has a similar in use to get personalized notification about updated software? I'd also like to know about it.
