Pale Moon forum

Hi all!

This is the add-on that I am using:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/thumbnail-zoom-plus/?src=search

I have been using Pale Moon since the Firefox folks made their forced changes a few months ago. I have also been using Thumbnail Zoom Plus (TZP) since a little before that time. Up until about a month ago, it has been working flawlessly. I've been ignoring an issue since that time and have recently been in discussions with the dev of TZP about it (thinking that they were the problem). I have installed number versions and copies of PM on various computers and they all act the same way with TZP. I have even tried the Linux version and gotten the same results.

Here's what happens. It's not easy to spot it right away, but if you open Facebook, there are LOADS of different pictures there. Some will work fine (links to other places usually work, unless it's a video, then it might or not), some do NOT work, but give no error - they appear to start to work, but then just stop. Those pictures that cause that reaction are ANY picture that a person posts to their newsfeed (including any that come from yourself). Now, this is always the case when you look at the newsfeed. There are SOME places where it WILL display that same picture (memory escapes me as to exactly where those places are, but I will try to get that detail later.

Here is a small sample video of what it looks like when I hover over various pictures:

I can get TZP to work perfectly in Firefox 24ESR and the current version as well. So, are there any ideas or suggestions?

LOVE Pale Moon and really want to keep all these little issues corrected. I am willing to help in ANY way I can!

Thanks!!

If it works in Firefox 24 ESR, it should also technically work in Pale Moon. However, since Pale Moon uses a different GUID, you can make it compatible with the following steps:

- Unzip the extension contents to a particular folder.
- Open install.rdf, and replace the Firefox GUID of {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} with the Pale Moon GUID {8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}.
- Set the em:min/maxVersion to 25.0 and 25.* respectively.
- Substitute {ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384} with {8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4} in rest of the files (use something like sed -i or Notepad++ for this purpose).
- Zip the contents of the folder, rename it to *.xpi and install it in Pale Moon.

It is discuraged for end users to modify addons.. Please know when you do such a thing it is at your own risk as minimal as that is. That being said please report it to the proper thread so the addons team can poke at it and contact the developer and maybe get a modified version up.

if you do get it working DO NOT post the xpi here but send it to me in PM to save me some work.

What is interesting is, the pictures that I hover the mouse over that are NOT zooming as they should, they show a www.facebook.com address on the status bar, but the browser console is showing a GET m.facebook.com address.

Example:
This is what the link is that shows on the status bar...
https://www.facebook.com/walkofftheeart ... 57/?type=1

This is what shows up in the browser console:
GET https://m.facebook.com/walkofftheearth/ ... 57/?type=1 [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 245ms]

Why is there a discrepancy there?

Ah...asked the dev about this and this was his reply:

For many Facebook links, TZP does a two-step process: 1. it reads and parses the HTML text of the mobile version of the photo's Facebook page; 2. it opens the image whose URL it found in that page. So maybe on pale moon it's having trouble reading that HTML text.

Maybe that helps???
