Firefox extension version history

[Kuanor]

As I remember, if one is looking for a plug-in and Palemoon doesn't have a native one with the required functionality, one can try finding a Firefox extensions and scroll down the version history until it doesn't complain about a too old "Firefox" version.

Now, their extension version history seems to show only the most recent 25 versions. Is this new and some kind of an attack on forks, an attempt to save server disc space, or am I too blind to find a "show older versions" button?
Is there a way to view them still?

I hate to say it but this has been a deliberate move by Mozilla to remove all extensions from their add-ons site which they marked as "legacy" (i.e. all extensions that aren't WebExtensions). Previous versions of what has been rewritten as WebExtensions were also included in this deletion, so the "all versions" will no longer show you versions that are compatible with Pale Moon, because those versions have been removed from their servers.

There are currently 2 active repositories that you can use instead:

• JustOff's Classic Add-ons Archive (CAA) which you can access through a specialized add-on. https://github.com/JustOff/ca-archive/releases
• Legacy Collector's archive of legacy Firefox extensions at http://www.legacycollector.org/firefox-addons/index.html

Thanks!
So it is a hostile move. Wow, didn't expect that from Mozilla. O.o

While waiting for this thread to be confirmed, I found your recent one and inside the two links you just posted. Indeed, they solved my problem*, but still, wow...

*not really, but as good as an outdated extension can, I guess.
