Forecastfox for Pale Moon options page does not change anything.

[Pallid Planetoid]

The Forecastfox for Pale Moon add-on settings do not change when changes are made to the add-ons option page. I have the same settings from when I used the AMO forecastfox (fix version) prior to installing the Pale Moon version and there does not appear to be a way to change the settings to anything else other than what they have been for years. The former AMO extension did the same thing which is why I installed the Pale Moon version. What should I do to get this extension to work properly (I have rebooted)?

I'm using Forecastfox (fix version) 2.4.8 with PM 27.7.0 64 bit and can still edit the page with results.
Though, I do remember not being able to do this some time back and cannot remember what I did to get it working again.

This is what I get when attempting to restore settings (to default) in both versions of the extension (both AMO and Pale Moon versions):

Which clearly does not look right (one would expect some kind of text in the box) and nothing changes when clicking "OK" (I'm assuming what I currently have now is not the "default" which is the current temp ["Now"] and the high for the next two days displayed).

[Pallid Planetoid]

Besides doing a cold system shutdown/boot (including after the Pale Moon version install), I've also already tried disabling/restarting PM and then enabling/restarting PM and still no change. (I've had the same settings for a very long time so cannot attribute the issue to any one specific Pale Moon build, using the current 27.7.7 release, as I've just today noticed this problem when I thought I'd add one more day to the forecast display instead of just the two future days that I have now and for some time since I originally installed the AMO (fixed) version).

[Thehandyman1957]

Something must not be right. I get this window when trying the same thing.

[Pallid Planetoid]

Actually that looks like it might be what to expect which appears to be a warning that if you reset all settings to default you would then need to enter your settings again to return back to anything close to what you had before. As you can see I do not get this "warning" message however and nothing changes when I click "OK" to the peculiar prompt that I get.

[Pallid Planetoid]

If you can actually successfully change any one individual setting (which according to what the extension says will occur immediately) then it appears perhaps your extension is working okay (i.e. if you say add or subtract a day to the display do you get the change displayed immediately?)

[Pallid Planetoid]

I am getting the specific icon (pointed out) that is expected if the options page is open (where to move/relocate the display):

So this part IS working (the icon only appears with the "options" page open).

[Pallid Planetoid]

I've tried "Checking updates" (to see if this helps) and get this result (same version but new update date):

Or maybe that date is today because I installed the Pale Moon version earlier today.

I've tried not only changing settings but the "restore all defaults" because of this information at the bottom of the options page regarding "Troubleshooting" (but no help):

(notice the comment that "changes are applied immediately" that I've mentioned previously)

[Thehandyman1957]

Yes, I can change the amount of days and it changes immediately. It seems that your add on is having an issue somewhere.

[Pallid Planetoid]

You are probably getting the "reset" message you get (see 2nd screen-shot) because you are right-clicking and selecting from here:

right-click troubleshooting....png (7.37 KiB) Viewed 774 times

which then gives me this (just like your example):

but if I click the "reset" from the "options" page then I get this (as posted previously):

Suffice to say, making any changes to settings in my case does nothing so I guess I'll just be happy with two future days of weather as everything appears to work fine with what I do have and I do not really need a third day of future weather anyway.

If you click the "restore all defaults" from the "Options" page instead of the right-click context menu you may get what I get as well which is what you see in the last screen-shot. (I wouldn't do the "restore..." so don't do that [I'm hesitant to click on the same button you get that I also get using the right-context menu since I can't be sure what I'll get based on the sketchy manner that the "options" page fails to work in my case] but just curious if you get the prompt I'm getting in the last screen-shot doing a "restore all defaults" from the "Options" window which is presumably attempting to render the same warning prompt that is displayed when clicking on the right-click "Troubleshooting..." option when using the right-click context menu).

This is what I get when attempting to restore settings (to default) in both versions of the extension (both AMO and Pale Moon versions):

"Forecastfox for Pale Moon" and "Forecastfox (fix version)" both use the same preference file. So, if Forecastfox is broken in "Forecastfox (fix version)", because of a corrupt preference file, it will stay broken when replaced by "Forecastfox for Pale Moon" (and vice-versa). Forecastfox preferences are kept in the "forecastfox.sqlite" file in your user profile. Uninstall both versions of Forecastfox from Pale Moon. Close Pale Moon. Then delete the "forecastfox.sqlite" file in the top level of your user profile. Reinstall "Forecastfox for Pale Moon". Re-enter your preferences in Forecastfox options.

[Thehandyman1957]

No, I didn't get the reset box from the list but from the button on the bottom of the options screen just like your last
Picture. Perhaps riiis's response is what I did when I had this issue a ways back. Too long ago to remember.

Give it a try, hopefully it will fix it for you.

The problem you're having is almost certainly due to the NoScript extension. If you disable NoScript and restart PaleMoon you'll be able to change settings. You cam check out the history of the problem at Mozillszine
