The Add-ons Team is not going out and talking to extension authors anymore.. We tried that.. it didn't bare much fruit. It is the user's responsiblity to see out authors of your favorite extensions and the author to support us. Not vice versa.

I'm sorry, but so it was meant (I said it for all / I'm speaking into the space)

I started a thread (perhaps I could do it? ) about the issue: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=12927#p91596 ....

Thanks for launching this thread, regarding my OT remark in my post in your linked thread.

Now that we have a dedicated thread for this issue, I do need to add that the problem is NOT unique to the new version of TMP extension.

I have run tests, and noted that multiple versions of Tab Mix Plus (from 0.4.1.7 thru current) exhibit this anomaly with PM27A2 (in fact I had first noticed it while using the older TMP, and tried the newer one without it helping), so it is due to change(s) of the code of version PM27, not of the newest TMP code.

Therefive, I respectfully ask that the PM devs take a look at it.

And it might be good to change the name of this thread to something like just 'Tab Mix Plus'.

Thanks.

BTW, I am testing with the 32-bit version of PM27A2, on Vista Home Basic SP2.

So be it...

But point number one, I think, can be fixed in Pale Moon.

Windows: 7 Pro 64-bit
Pale Moon: 27.0.0a2
Build ID: 20160728120832

Using TMP 0.4.1.8.

If I open TMP Options, I get no errors in the Error Console.
If I try to export my TMP Preferences, it succeeds, and without any messages in the EC.

I will note that when I first tried PM27 with a very old profile (with about 40 extensions), I got a lot of "has stopped working" errors, or what seemed like crashes. Unusable.

I created a new profile, and gradually added in about 10 extensions (including TMP). No problems since. Sufficient for my (meagre) needs.

Hmmmm....

I will review and report back.

Weird.

I created a new, clean, Test profile.

Installed TMP 0.5.0.0. Exited New Moon. Started New Moon. Clicked on TMP Options. The TMP Options window opened, but I got the same errors as GMForker's point 2 in his/her original post in this thread. I could only close the TMP Options window by using the Close Window "x". I removed TMP 0.5.0.0 and exited New Moon.

Followed the same process with TMP 0.4.2.3pre.160425a1. Got the same result.

And then with TMP 0.4.1.8. Got the same result again.

Back to my New-ish profile, with 9 extensions, and all is well with no TMP errors, I'm able to access TMP Options and export Preferences.

Weird. Way beyond my level of understanding.

My 9 extensions are:

Adblock Latitude 3.5.0b3
Clipple 0.1.3
Greasemonkey 1.15.1-signed
LastPass 3.3.1
Net Usage Item 1.2.390.1
NoScript 2.9.0.14
Tab Mix Plus 0.4.1.8
Text Link 4.1.2013040601.1-signed
Xmarks 4.3.19

Theme: Tangomoon 1.3.0

Hope there is something there that helps you. Mine works for me, so I'm not touching it!

[Edit: I'm not at all sure why I hid my list of extensions ... probably for no better reason than "because I can".]

Pertaining to Beta, closing Pale Moon with using the Exit(Menu) option, we have to do it twice just to close the browser, doesn't happen in Pale Moon 26.5. I'll have to hunt the Alpha to see if it happens there, not that I recall, though.
Edit: Alpha works fine.

I get this too with the top-right X button. It often needs to be pressed twice. Haven't tested in Safe Mode.

Abot Tab Mix Plus, its Session Manager doesn't work in the Beta.

[megaman]

I'm barely seeing the problem ag0044 is having but in B2.
We might have to politely poke OneMan about this, since he was willing to work with us and did come offering help directly at our forums.
We can use this as a reference.

[back2themoon]

The Session Manager works again in today's Beta 2.

I agree, and thanks for the thread name change.

We have a WORKAROUND !

Here is a copy of my latest post in the Add-ons thread of this forum, regarding the lower row of options buttons not functioning.

Tab Mix Plus 0.5.0.1

Please would someone repeat my tests and see whether what I am experiencing can be duplicated.

I am not familiar with this add-on, but I downloaded 0.5.0.1.

Windows 7 64-bit
Pale Moon Portable 27 Beta 3 64-bit
One other add-on: Adblock Latitude 3.5.0b4

Options via the Menu or Extensions: I experienced the same thing as you....

....When Options opens, the Links icon/button (at the top) is highlighted.

If I click on the Events icon/button, the Preferences button appears to function, the Apply button is greyed out, and the Close button works.

As I said I am not familiar with this add-on, so I don't know if anything is working after this point.

Interesting discovery !

I never thought to try that, because the whole premise of trying to import your settings is to NOT have to adjust ANY other settings manually.

But you are quite right, and BTW, clicking on ANY of the tabs along the top of the TMP options box first seems to enable the errant lazy buttons at the bottom.

REVISED CONCLUSION :

We have a new anomaly with Pale Moon 27, both 32 and 64 bit versions, involving multiple versions of Tab Mix Plus.

However, there seems to be a workaround, as described above.

Sorry, just trying to be thorough, and did not know we could establish a 'permalink' here.

BTW, what does this board call those ?

For now, I did a 'Hide'.

I think I found an easy solution to the Tab Mix Plus problem!

I just downloaded the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Pale Moon 27 beta 3. I didn't do any customization except installing Tab Mix Plus 0.5.0.1. Same behaviour in both versions. Tested with Windows 10 Professional French-Canadian.


Steps to reproduce the bug

– Install TMP from AMO. Restart Pale Moon as directed.

– Open the TMP dialog box, either by pressing ALT, then going to Tools –> Tab Mix Plus Options, or via the "Options" toolbox and the TMP button.

– In the TMP dialog box, the Preference menu doesn't work, nor the Apply, OK, Cancel buttons (the latter don't work as they should).


Steps to solve the bug and make TMP work

– Press ALT, then go to Tools –> Tab Mix Plus Options.

– Go to Events – New Tabs

– Load on New Tab...
Default value is "New tab page... about:logopage"
Change it to "Blank page" or "New tab page... about:blank"

Now TMP works perfectly. And the funny thing is that once you make the change and click Apply or OK, you can go back and reenter the original values.


My conclusion

It seems to be a conflict between the general initial Pale Moon setting in Tools –> Options – Tabs: "when opening a new tab, show... a blank page", vs the Tab Mix Plus specific initial setting of the same. Once the value has been set by hand, the issue is solved.

[megaman]

I was having this problem in the Betas, but never checked B3.
It is not happening in the 27 RC1, but it's the installed version, the others were zipped.
Using 5.0.0

RC1's release snuck right by me.

Thanks - will retest with that.

UPDATE :

Is RC1 available on a special page ?

The WIP page still has Beta 3.

I will test PM 27 RC1, and if it still has the problem for me, I will try what you did.
