There is no good way to track multiple findbar states interactively between each other. Besides, MOST of the user base wants it how it was and how it is now.. Including my self.zzz242 wrote:But I still want to raise the question for consideration: What about having the per-tab find bar behave as it did in PM 28.0.1? Unless I'm misunderstanding, the find bar itself was per-tab there, so this would just be making the "per-tab" behavior more comprehensive.
The point is.. extensions are to be compatible with the application not the other way around. FIndbar Tweak doesn't even target Pale Moon which makes it a FIrefox Extension which means it is on an as-is basis. We will not cater to maintaining Firefox extension compatibility at the cost of application development.
If you'd like, we can disable the ability to install Firefox extensions (a Pale Moon-only feature btw) en-mass in the next version requiring everyone to have to modify their Firefox extensions and maybe even fork some and do things properly instead of this long-standing hack. I'm game if you are. BOY the backlash though... They'll kill me. Outright.
