Help me install SingleFile Legacy
It's for ESR 52 so theoretically I think it should work with Pale Moon. It's here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ile-esr-52
I don't see any viable alternatives on the Pale Moon side.

Re: Help me install SingleFile Legacy
Firefox 52 had support for WebExtensions, and Pale Moon does not have that support. Therefore, there is no way to get that extension to work in Pale Moon. You would need to find a legacy XUL-based Firefox extension to be able to do that, and those are no longer hosted by Mozilla.
"The Athenians, however, represent the unity of these opposites; in them, mind or spirit has emerged from the Theban subjectivity without losing itself in the Spartan objectivity of ethical life. With the Athenians, the rights of the State and of the individual found as perfect a union as was possible at all at the level of the Greek spirit." -- Hegel's philosophy of Mind

Re: Help me install SingleFile Legacy
So why does it said it's Legacy? I think Legacy means XUL? If it's so then there is no available options in Pale Moon. I'm still waiting my thread about screenshot addons being approved.athenian200 wrote: ↑2022-05-17, 18:36Firefox 52 had support for WebExtensions, and Pale Moon does not have that support.

Re: Help me install SingleFile Legacy
"Legacy" can mean anything.
Do you mean the thread below? That's strange, because it looks it's already approved and you've replied several times there. I see that you registered today. Initial posts by new users might need some additional approval time.VozFreeAccounts wrote: ↑2022-05-17, 18:48I'm still waiting my thread about screenshot addons being approved.

Re: Help me install SingleFile Legacy
Well clicking the "download file" link clearly show you (via the doorhanger) that it couldn't be installed because it's a WebExtension. So legacy obviously doesn't mean it's a XUL extension in this case.VozFreeAccounts wrote: ↑2022-05-17, 18:48So why does it said it's Legacy? I think Legacy means XUL?

Re: Help me install SingleFile Legacy
Anything and everything currently up on the Firefox addons site is incompatible with Pale Moon. Even old versions of the addons that would have worked with Pale Moon have been removed. Mozilla only left up stuff that are Web Extensions based.VozFreeAccounts wrote: ↑2022-05-17, 18:25It's here:

You can try finding earlier versions in the Classic Addons Archive, but I don't see that one there.

Re: Help me install SingleFile Legacy
@All From my own understanding I think this "legacy" addon will be usable on the discontinued Basilisk. It has partial WebExt support. At least it's the build of Serpent by roytam1 I use on Windows XP. I recall I could install WebExt addon but most of them will not work, only very simple one will work. Since this addon targeting 52 ESR and Basilisk is 55 I think it will work as is. Very sad you removed WebExt support from UXP completely.

@VozFreeAccounts: You might enjoy reading some of 'SingleFile' author Gildas Lormeau's responses to comments Re: saving pages as single HTML files in the discussion below the body of this 2018 Ghacks article about his Addon for Chrome & Firefox here: https://www.ghacks.net/2018/09/03/save- ... r-firefox/
BTW - Assume you have tried just using 'CTRL + S' ... which opens the 'Save Page' window in all major web browsers.
P.S. - The Mozilla Archive Format (MAFF) Addon by Christopher Ottley (creator) and Paolo Amadini (maintainer) might be worth a look too... and is still available in its old pre-WebExt format if you look for it using WayBackMachine or just search online e.g. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/se ... /versions/... and Lootyhoof has make a fork of MAAF for Pale Moon called MozArchiver here: https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/mozarchiver/
