After some initial panic about Multiple Tab Handler not working on PM, and no specific answer related to 27.x, I just wanted to confirm that it *DOES* work with 28.0.0.b4, PROVIDED three patches are made to it:
1) The two patches here and here, described in this thread.
2) The compatibility patch for Pale Moon, described in this StackExchange thread (obviously with maxVersion 28.* not 25.*) and on this website, to handle the Pale Moon GUID+versioning.
Could someone check it works, and if so, fork and patch this for PM, and maybe see if there's a later version that can be made to work. Worth noting: this post, which suggests that versions up to Version 0.8.2017061501 (last version before WebExtensions) could *probably* be made compatible.
Multiple Tab Handler seems to work on 28 with small patch, needs forking/review?

A quick check shows the extension is licensed under the MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license, so forking is indeed allowed (either under the same license, under the GPL or LGPL, or under the MPL (recommended to use MPL 2.0 in that case)).

What I'm asking is more, would someone nice be willing to be enticed to host a forked version, and keep an eye on it for compatibility fixes going forward, since none of the current versions from AMO including the recommnded version, actually work without patchingMoonchild wrote:A quick check shows the extension is licensed under the MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license, so forking is indeed allowed (either under the same license, under the GPL or LGPL, or under the MPL (recommended to use MPL 2.0 in that case)).
Also whether a simple patch might fix the later pre-webextensions version

I understand what you were saying - all I did was make sure modifications are allowed by others.
