I can install that addon on Firefox version 48+, Waterfox, but on Basilisk I get this error:
Code: Select all

AFAIK: The default values (because optional=true) are wrong (I cannot look for it now)...
Code: Select all
"short_name": "Poper Blocker"
"applications": {
"gecko": {
"id": "addon@example.com"
}
}
Code: Select all
"short_name": "Poper Blocker",

I'm still getting the same error: will you upload the valid .json file, please?GMforker wrote:Do you have a valid JSON file?

I've just done that but I still get this error:coffeebreak wrote:Walpurgisnacht wrote:I'm still getting the same error
The edit worked here: the extension installed with no problem.
Use the code box designated "True:". The first line in that code box is actually already present at the bottom of the page (line 66) - Either overwrite it or add a 'comma'
Before and after pictures. Note Line 66 (and following)...
I've "unzipped" that addon, using winrar and edited "manifest.json", just like they've written above.dark_moon wrote:Just a simple question: did you rebuild the addon with the modified file? Else nothing happens

Just the file.coffeebreak wrote:Walpurgisnacht wrote:I really don't understand where I go wrong...
When you rebuilt, did you zip up the folder that contained the manifest.json and other files? (NOT correct).
Or just the files? (correct).
Because those files need to be in the root directory of the xpi (if they were there originally, before editing).
I don't really see any difference between these two??GMforker wrote:Do you have a valid JSON file?

The 'comma':
Code: Select all
"short_name": "Anti-Paywall",
"applications": {
"gecko": {
"id": "addon@https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/anti-paywall/"
}
}I think I'll have to shelve that extension until a later date. It's supposed to be compatible with FF48+, but the first release didn't become available until November 25 this year. That in turn seems to indicate that it's a WebExtension rather than legacy.GMforker wrote:See also issue #238 (moebius).
