FoxReplace

Unread post by alancast » 2018-08-20, 18:55

FoxReplace is very useful for
* substituting something on pages (every one or by URL pattern), like you see "Tramp" everywhere instead of "Trump", or get rid of some excessive words.
* Search-&-Replace in textareas etc.

PM 27 works with FoxReplace 0.16.1.1-signed,
PM 28 it doesn't have effect.
FoxReplace 0.17... either,
FoxReplace 1. etc doesn't install (it says Web Extensions aren't supported).

Please advise how to make FoxReplace work or is tere an alternative.
Thank you!

I tested FoxReplace 0.17.3 and it seems to work fine in Pale Moon 28.
v1.0 will not work because WebExtensions will not work in Pale Moon.

Indeed. My bad.

But the hotkey to Search & Replace (F8) doesn't work.

Any idea how to make Search & Replace work?

It works with v.0.16.1. Backup (export) your list first in case of downgrade.

Thank you very much. PM28 just wasn't working properly after the upgrade, until I restarted it with some changed addon.
