SavedSearchButton

[Vitasta]

With this addon you can change the History window from

into

But we can no longer download it from Firefox's addon page. But I have it into my Firefox profile. It is not an *xpi- File. It is a folder in "extensions".

This is a zip of that folder:

savedsearchbutton@alice0775.zip

To get this addon in an other Firefox profile I can simply copy this folder into "extensions" in the new Firefox profile. I tryied this out also for Pale Moon. But I was not able to get this addon in use this way. It does even not appear in the addon list.

Question:
Is it possible to use this addon in Pale Moon?

Thank you.

Is it possible to use this addon in Pale Moon?

You don't need any extensions to limit the scope or save the search results - these functions are already present in the Library in Pale Moon:

Ah OK. I see. It's great. Thank you.

Thanks for this @Vitasta, do you have any "deleted by own authors" important addons (.xpi files), I know at least this from WhiteAlice:

Go To Parent Folder, SavedSearchButton, Show Parent Folder

Andy Halford ones like:

CheckPlaces, SyncPlaces, SortPlaces
SearchPlaces (very useful one to use with SavedSearchButton and "smart folders" of bookmarks)

Kudos for FirefoxPlaces (history, bookmarks) related ones

Note: I am working on backup and preserve .xpi files (last stable version of major and very important working addons), thanks to @JustOff too for their archive addon, in addition to this I think a "transparent" AMO API must provide some changelog to detect what addons are deleted by own authors, this is open source and author credit is imptorant but more important is "prevent own authors killing their creations"
