Pale Moon forum

Have read about palemoon getting its own version/useragent guid a while back. As opposed to the Firefox-synonymous one it had been utilizing since its creation. The article stated possible installation conflicts. Has this possibly affected even some the bigger players like Adblock Plus? Palemoon is "officially" Firefox 25 for our system currently. It did not install from the home site of the above as the versions are supposedly incompatible.

So we tried to install over the top of existing installation with: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... lock-plus/ Nope, still not doing anything when clicking filterPreferences in addon's options view. Uninstalled, restart, etc (Though really the site says it should be restartless..).. Stuck a query into search-engine and got this; Tried it: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/ ... -latitude/ Same trouble. 'Cept now "filter preferences" is now "&filterpreference" or something. Restarted..

So was thinking-- Does anybody have the same sort of problems? This is annoying. Is the whole profile corrupt maybe? How to migrate/duplicate to a clean profile? Or even just create a new one altogether? Maybe we're not using the right search terms. Firefox original has "profile manager" -P What is palemoon's equivalent?

A similar sort of issue (addon simply doesn't work/show as it's supposed to) is with: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... src=search This one though is certainly a less renowned extension and therefore more likely to break with consistent browser progression. If the functionality of this one can be fixed too, would love you guys forever. Worst thing is, there's no better/alternative to be found so far..?

Please HALP. Love @palemoon but. Seriously, can't. Live. Without. These.

-Version: 25.2.0 (x86), Win8

One, Adblock Latitude functions perfectly.

Two, you can just middle-click view image and it will open in a new tab. Making that extension redundant.

Hmmm, so you read about possible problems before and you are obviously not new to the forum, so why didn't you search this forum before? It would have saved you a lot of headaches.

As for the second extension, it's basically what Tobin said. But if you want it so badly, it's a really easy fix, the extension checks for the GUID in chrome.manifest, you just need to remove that application check (or add Pale Moon to it but at first glance I don't think this check is necessary at all). Anyway, it would be most likely a do-it-yourself thing cause the extension is half a decade old and I don't think it makes a lot of sense to contact the author. Alternatives could be these
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... n-new-tab/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... n-link-in/
Both also to be found using the forum search.

If demand increases like more than three people say something for that extension that is a half a decade old that reproduces built in functionality in the browser.. I would fork it. Deff qualifies.

Thank you for the replies, sorry for the late.

You were right the first time. New to forum, yep.
Read about the GUID thing in a link to release notes. Searched site but briefly since it was (sort of) a rush post.

Those alternatives-- The reason why we use that delight of an error producer is because "open image in new background tab" is not available in alternative options. At least, I haven't found another. Sure, browser has built in functionality (ctrl+shift click on 'view image") There's many a time here though, when people can only bother with mouse. Otherwise, I anyway, am a large fan of dumping anything that can't be done with css(chrome+content) and bookmarklets. And.. The extent of our knowledge in fiddling with addons is force bypassing of compatilibty checks. Little else, hahaha..

This is just what we were wondering! Prior to the latest update, both still worked perfectly. There is no reason for a largely know addon such as adblock plus to break so completely. Less still an officially forked version of it, by the people who made palemoon itself.

So we thought maybe, the cause of it was a broken profile folder. Not being too experienced with such errors (especially when it isn't visibly erroring in other ways that might look to relate), we took to the Internet for either similar cases and or help. With these replies I am 99.9% sure, "profile" is indeed broken. So starts the tedium..

Dear Future readers: If you ever had something similar, please share if in your instance, the cause was identified and or fixed! Would hate if this repeated across computers and there was nothing to do but reset, reconfigure, replay everything!

When you install adblock latitude ; uninstall adblock plus. Both at the same time will conflict.

Sorry for late reply. That I definitely did..
Thing is, icons shouldn't be disappearing..
So I think profile is broken. Will have to find some time to migrate/reset everything in profile folder JIC.
Even just duplicate and see.
Darn, that's gonna take time.
