Speed Dial [FVD] issue on every new Palemoon v28.XX

Unread post by jeremy » 2019-04-20, 12:46

Hello,

From any v28.xx I've tried to update my Speed Dial [FVD] has stopped working. I don't know why, I tried to configure some policy inside about:config but without any success. I would appreciate if you could help me to fix the problem, for me this add-on is essential. In the capture you can see the exact version that I have, it does not allow me to update others due to incompatibilities with Palemoon and as it appears once I update to any version 28. I must go back to v27.xx to make it functional again. In case it's of any interest, my operating system is Win10. Thanks in advanced.

I am not even going to bother.. Someone else give him the extension developer speech, the one-way profile migration speech, the Firefox xul extension compatibility speech, the have you checked on OUR Add-ons Site for a replacement or fork speech, and the forum is not much of a support venue for add-ons unless the developer specifically exists here speech.

I'm just trying to get someone who's had this same experience to give me a hint. It is likely that with some new policy implemented since v28 it is blocking this add-on. More than likely I can have a solution from the configuration even if that means some security problem for me.

It's unlikely that the browser would block this add-on without a very good reason. It's more likely that something under the hood has changed within Pale Moon since v27 that has inadvertently rendered the add-on incompatible. An about:config change may solve the problem, but again it's unlikely, and mucking with settings if you don't know what they mean is not a good idea.

I also don't recommend trying to migrate back from v28 to v27 once you've upgraded - this will corrupt your profile and cause a lot of problems in the immediate or long-term future.

Finally, a forum search may be helpful for you.

Ooooorr, you could use "Speed Dial 0.9.6.18" as a replacement.

It works perfectly and has almost all the same features that FVD has.
Here is a shot of my setup, but there is a lot you can do.

If that is something that might actually interest you, then you will need
Justoffs "Classic Add-ons Archive 2.0.1" since that stuff is no longer available
on that "other" site. ;) You can get that add on at the PM add on's page
and then just use it to find the above mentioned add on and walla. :mrgreen:

A big thank you for taking the time to find a solution to my problem :thumbup: I have also been looking for the latest version compatible with Palemoon and have found one that is compatible with v28.xx. I have tested the "fvd-speed-dial-9.2.1.xpi", the others didn't try. Luckily can keep all the speeddial collection i had previously. Don't know if the one you have found is compatible with my speeddial and if can keep the ones i already had. The backup has the following extension: speeddial.sd

If it's of someone's interest, here I leave the web where they have the old versions.

Thanks to all of you who have participated in my problem, very happy to be able to continue enjoying the Palemoon. :-D

Also keep in mind that there are other places you can find old XUL extensions, such as the Classic Add-ons Archive.
