Can not install extensions.

Unread post by Otto 6 » 2022-11-07, 16:13

Hello, forum. I'm trying to install Greasemonkey and uBlock but I get this message: "( null ) Could not be installed because Basilisk does not support Webextensions". What is going on here ?

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and the latest version of Basilisk ( 2022.11.04 ).

As the message says, Basilisk does not support WebExtensions. Basilisk supports XUL based extensions as previously supported by Firefox before Mozilla forced users to change to the new extensions system.

Extensions can be found on the Basilisk Addons Site and from the Classic Add-ons Archive. The Classic Add-ons Archive link will install an addon into your browser that you can use to search for classic Firefox addons.

The version of Greasemonkey compatible with Basilisk can be found here.

The version of Ublock Origin compatible with Basilisk can be found here.

In addition I would recommend that you install the Palefill extension which will make some incompatible websites work properly in Basilisk.
