May you describe your issue more precisely ?
Give a link to the website ('k we can search but better you give it directly) and say what doesn't work exactly.

Still : -did it run correctly with 24.6 ? i.e. ; did the problem appeared with the update, or a bunch of time after you updated ? In the latter case, the problem lies probably in the website design.
-does it run correctly if you disable your addons (in the help menu (maybe have you a "?" for it) you have a choice to do that). If so, then it may be one of your addons which is the cause. Try to find which and disable it for that website.

Merci.

You need to contact the creator(s) of Wikiwand and ask them to fix it.

Using PM 24.7.1 x64 portable. If you are talking about the site http://www.wikiwand.com/ on my side it works fine, except the button (javascript) redirecting to the add-on, don't know why... Also this site is the perfect example of a site which does not run with Canvasblocker activated. If you are talking about the add-on, my old experience said to me that the Old Wikipedia works fine, so you must wait after other members sorry.

whats wrong ? the site is wikiwand.com and so easy to find it..
anyway..this add on can't be installed on palemoon 24.7, the message is "incompatible with palemoon 24.7.1"
is it easy to understand and there is nothing to do with some other add ons...
I dont know if that run with 24.6, in my opinion this dont

@buggy : I dont speak about the wikiwand web site but about the wikiwand add on...

[bold text] @mikele1959: Sorry but for several reasons and principally because the name of this add-on is "WikiWand: Wikipedia Modernized" it was absolutely not evident. Another reason is this is not to a browser's developer to fix an add-on as you asked.[bold text]

Easy to find, uh ? :P


That said, I should warn you that you shouldn't use their addon. It SPIES you.

Taken from their privacy policy :
WikiWand respects your right to privacy.
Uh ok, let's see what really follow that bullshit.
A little bit later :
We also collect information when you make use of the Site, including your browsing history.
In addition, we may provide any information to third parties, so long as we have removed any information that identifies any specific individual or user, such as a name, address or contact information.
[Understand EVERY information except these 3 things]


That said, looking on addons.mozilla ; their addon is marked compatible only with FF29+ (australis). It may work with earlier version but it is very unlikely everything will be correct.

We agree with each other buggy ^^

@mikele1959 > That said, you may want to look at styles for wikipedia on userstyles.org https://userstyles.org/styles/browse/wikipedia : you have dozens and dozens, and you would probably find one you'll like (you may also use two in some cases). You probably won't have the big picture taken from pinterest, but otherwise everything or near should be available.

Your personal like or dislike of a specific add-on is irrelevant. If a user asks for support, we should try and help. If you personally don't want to help because of your personal dislike of an add-on, then simply ignore the topic, please.

Making money like that like we tried to explain from the hard work of Wikipedia's members like me is something i wanted to say. But ok.

You can of course still make critical notes about the add-on, its background and general desire to have it or not in the form of a recommendation, but simply stating "I don't like it so don't fix it" is really just not good. I hope the difference is clear.

What I notice is that on AMO's WikiWand: Wikipedia Modernized page it is mentioned Not available for Firefox 24.7, therefor it is not available for Pale Moon 24.7.1

It's not a problem of debugging, it's only that WikiWand: Wikipedia Modernized add-on requires Firefox 29 and later and will not run on Firefox 24/Pale Moon 24.x.

It is sometimes possible to modify an add-ons install.rdf file to change the min/max browser version required but since Firefox 29 most add-ons built from that version on will simply not run because Firefox 29's whole architecture is different. It may also not run due to the simple fact an add-on's toolbar button is handled. Not even worth trying. Fortunately most worthy well-known add-ons when upgraded do not incorporate in their code Firefox 29' fantasies exclusively of previous versions.

Nevertheless, I just noted that there is a previous version of WikiWand add-on available that runs on Firefox 4.0b1 and later :WikiWand: Wikipedia Modernized version 2.0 - That will run with Pale Moon 24.x

Reply from Wikiwand team :

Hi there.

Thanks for reaching out!
Unfortunately, we don't have many Palemoon users, and we have limited resources, so we're unable to develop an add-on for Palemoon at the moment.
Sorry for that!

Regards,
Lior Grossman | Co-Founder & CEO, WikiWand
