Pale Moon forum

Hello, I just found out about "Hide Fedora", an extension that blacklists certain accounts from the youtube comments section. The purpose is to stop "the reddit army" type comments from getting in the way of normal discussion on youtube videos.

Unfortunately current and previous version of it aren't compatible with the latest Palemoon, but the source code is available if anyone is willing to make a compatible version for Palemoon. I'd certainly appreciate it if someone took this on

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... de-fedora/ [Mozilla.org]
https://github.com/hadalin/firefox-hidefedora [Sourcecode @ github.com]

Seems to be a JetPack add-on, so it's best left to the original author to provide compatibility. Have you tried contacting the extension developer yet?

Hi Moonchild - I've put in a request in the reddit thread the author created. If he doesn't see it, then I can try more directly.

One thing you can do is a manual edit and force it into Pale Moon.. the gecko/26 req MAY be arbitrary and just the current version when he created it.

Hi Matt - that worked! Thanks for the suggestion, so simple.

Hello, I want this extension for palemoon also, what do I need to manually edit for it to work, please help me.

So it is fully working? Then will get in contact with developer and see if they will add direct Pale Moon support..

If you like I'll compare its functionality in Firefox vs Palemoon, and get back to you by this time tomorrow.

The comments from blacklisted youtube accounts are correctly removed (once the page has fully loaded), but I suspect that the "show report button" option doesn't work for Palemoon.

There is a general guide to changing the compatibility of extensions you could try here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_an_ad ... patibility

You can see if that works for you. For whatever reason I needed to modify the instructions to do this properly in 7zip, as extracting and rezipping the extension would produce a corrupt extension for me. I had to open the archive and edit it within 7zip instead.

Specifically I did the following:
1/ Open the archive in 7zip (Right click on the XPI > 7zip > Open archive)
2/ Edit the install.rdf in 7zip (Right click on it > Edit)
3/ Change the minVersion line as per the mozillazine guide, in this case change "<em:minVersion>26.0</em:minVersion>" to 24.9 or lower.
4/ Save the changes in notepad and close it
5/ Press Yes to update archive.
6/ Drag the .xpi into Palemoon to install.

HTH.

Edit: Changed 25.0 to 24.9 in the MinVersion. Originally I just chose 22.0 as it was simpler than looking up whatever the real version number is.

This won't work the way you think on Pale Moon.. Only 24.9 will be accepted as the maximum firefox version for a Firefox version block. Remember editing add-ons on your own will never be supported and is at your own risk. In general don't even think about it unless you know what you are doing or under guidance from someone on the Add-ons Team.

I assume you mean minimum version, not maximum. It installs perfectly fine with a MaxVersion above 24.9 (30 in this particular case), but the MInVersion needs to be 24.9 or lower.

My mistake was in giving "25.0 or lower" as the minimum version, instead of 24.9, which I've now amended thanks.

Processing the Firefox version block is a bad idea to mark compatibility with Pale Moon. Do not do this.. If it is working properly we shall submit a proper Pale Moon version block to the author.

Thank you, works fine, could not stand the trolls anymore

Anyone who does this them selves will not get any support from the Pale Moon Add-ons Team and indeed at all.

Something tells me they don't care as long as it Just Works™

Something tells me you are right. I am gonna do a pull request for direct support for us after I get BinOC relaunched. So stay tuned!

Is there an ETA for BinOC and the request so I know when to be checking back?

BinOC is Binary Outcast my site.. Nevermind about that.. As for this.. It is on the list.. Just check back here periodically. Not everyone is a magic man like Moonchild

UPDATE: I have opened a ticket because there is nothing we can automagically do to help them via pull request. https://github.com/hadalin/firefox-hidefedora/issues/4

There's no need to be so patronising. Yes of course we would want the extension to function. If it doesn't and it breaks something, then it's our responsibility to fix it - which is pretty trivial to do.

In any case, the original author was kind enough to extend compatibility to Pale Moon for his extension:
