Not to violate the rules in the thread initiated by Tobin "[OPEN CASTING CALL] Post your critical Firefox-only Extensions" viewtopic.php?f=46&t=26542 I post here a question about "Expire history by days".
I have EHBD 1.2.1 which is marked as "not designed for Palemoon It may not ..." in the Addon manager for my PM 29.0.1. It is one of the two enabled extensions marked as such after the upgrade to 29.0.1, and as such it was reported in the above mentioned thread. However I did not check in the PM addon repository (I assumed the "not designed" marking meant not in the repository), I see now in https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/expir ... y-by-days/ there is an EHBD 1.2.4 marked "Pale Moon 27.0.0 to 28.* "
Does it mean it won't work for 29.* ?
And if instead it does, what is the correct upgrade procedure ? Will 1.2.4 overwrite 1.2.1, or do I have to remove or disable 1.2.1 before installing 1.2.4 ?
Thanks

The compatibility data there means that it has been tested on 27 to 28. However, you can still install it on 29, since the author haven't enabled "strictCompatibility". As for "if it will work", YMMV.

Uninstall the original first as the "ID" is changed and it wont over write it.

OK, I tried (and started writing this before seeing the previous post) to install 1.2.4 "over" 1.2.1. It did install it "along" with 1.2.1, so I disabled the old one. It inherited the preferences (which are a trivial scalar). I did a browser restart and got no error (I'd have to wait at least two days with browser running to check it works but ...

- META-INF/ is no longer in the new version
- install.rdf have different "comments" (or annotations or whatever)
- bootstrap.js is identical
- options.xul is identical

That's only for storing signatures of digitally signed extensions. Pale Moon doesn't force extension signing so that directory is redundant when porting from Firefox.

And including it when it has been altered would just be a broken signature anyway.
