v26.5.0 (Atom), problems with Add-Ons from Mozilla

Unread post by visionhelp » 2018-01-04, 09:36

If wrong place, please, move.

After having solved, with the help of Lyceus, the problem the message of Facebook "update Your browser", now some add-ons from the Mozilla Add-Ons for Pale Moon message "cannot be installed, appears to be damaged".

This is my personal log to it:

Code: Select all

Add-Ons from Mozilla, for Pale Moon, message: 
"You use version 24.9".

Pale Moon: about:config - "24.9" - 
general.useragent.override.addons.mozilla.org 
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT; x86; rv:24.9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.9 (Pale Moon) 
I change "/24.9 " to "57.0 ". Solves it. 

But installing the messenger Add-Ons: 
 "Messenger for Facebook™ von Baris Derin, could not get installed because of appearing to be damaged." 
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/facebook-messenger/

The same with: 
Facebook Messanger von Bolaram Paul 
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/facebook-messanger/


For HTML5 on Facebook there is an alternative Flash-Player: 
(this could be able to be used in Pale Moon for all sites with HTML5, my idea.) 
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/flash-video-player-on-facebook/

(No crashes anymore first from html5 and playing video, until there is a solution for to play html5 in Pale Moon.) 
If it is to install: same as with the messenger Plug-Ins. Appears to be damaged. 
They should be with to the Add-On page of Pale Moon, if no license-problems do avoid this.

Don't expect Firefox 57 add-ons to work, ever. Firefox 57 only supports WebExtensions, and Pale Moon does NOT support WebExtensions. As such, none of the offered extensions on addons.mozilla.org when telling them you are using Firefox 57 will work.

These Add-Ons are for FF v48 and down.

It is from the Pale Moon own Add-Ons feature the offer of the Add-Ons of Mozilla for Pale Moon.

And I am not talking about the Add-On to work.
The download does not work, of appearing the Add-On is damaged, so the message. Sorry.

Supplement:
With the setting ´back´ to "/24.9 " - [restart Pale Moon] - the add-on site messages the version-number of FF for which from a/the add-on is. (At about New Year 2017 to 2018.)
