With the new release of Pale Moon the FireGestures add-on fails, in that the configuration screen is blank.

I use it with both X86 and X64 versions of PM24 and it is fine. The options screen is showing normally. Checked with Fire Gestures 1.7-9 and updated to 1.7-10.

Have you tried disabling all your extensions and adding them back one at a time, starting with Fire Gestures?

I'm having problems too. But only for the gestures that open links in new tabs (both focused or in the background).

Same problem as op.

Things tried that did not help: restarting PM, removing and reinstalling FG, disabling all extensions then re-enabling FG (and only FG). Restarted computer, tried those things again, problem persists.

Both PM and FG are good things. I hope to see them play nicely together once again in the near future.

The mapping screen for me is completely blank, and yes I've tried removing and re-adding other addins.

About to leave for a weeks holiday so I'm hoping it can be fixed in the interim.

Parallel threads here for the same issue.... the crux of the problem is twofold, individual add-on compatibilty and inter-compatibility between certain installed add-ons.... it's now becoming imperative for devs to ensure functionality of their add-ons now Mozilla has adopted the rapid release schedule of their browser, otherwise there will be significantly more broken add-ons in future browser releases. Basically it's going to be up to users to report any issues to the add-on devs immediately they find a problem.

The concern I have here is that the add-on work perfectly within Firefox. I've switched back to that on a temporary basis as I need that add-on functionality.

I tried a completely clean install and adding just Firegestures, but no change. I don't know if the dev will do anything, since it's still working in the final version of Firefox. When I got an answer from him/her I post here.

I received an answer, it was fast:

Hi,

The compatibility with Pale Moon 24 has been fixed!
Please update FireGestures to ver.1.7.12.

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo ... /versions/

edit:

Tested it and it's working fine now.

The vast majority of add-ons are developed specifically for Fx and it's because PM is based on Mozilla code that up until now most of them work in PM also. With up and coming Fx releases it's quite likely that differences between the two browsers will become more apparent with probably more broken add-ons, which is unfortunate for PM users. PM is not a main stream browser, but it has a very good user base now, hence the reason to plead with add-on devs to make them compatible with PM.

P.S. @brunopita, pleased you received such a quick response from the developer and ''Firegestures'' is now working fine for you.
