All add-ons incompatible with Pale Moon 33.9.0.1 X64

Post by Giraffe » 2025-11-10, 16:15

I've a new PC on which is installed the latest PM.
From the old PC I copied the Profile and used it on this one.
All add-ons are orange. I,m using the same version, X32, on the old PC.
I can't find anything apart from 5 from PM's site. I do have quite a lot and would like to obtain them in some way, please.

Go into Add-ons Manager, Disable 1 of the extensions, then Enable.
Does that change anything?

if not
Go into Add-ons Manager, Disable 1 of the extensions, then Enable.
Restart PM.
Does that change anything (for that 1 extension)?

Seem to have only Remove as an option, unfortunately.

From the old PC I copied the Profile and used it on this one.
Did you copy the entire directory including the directory name, or did you copy the directory contents (including subdirectories)?

On the new computer, the default Profile name would be different from the Profile name on the old.

If you copy the contents from old to new, that should get you working, I'd think.
(Always backup, first.)

ex:
old: \AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\a57u4tzi.default
new: \AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\Profiles\x29n30vb.default

If you copy the contents from within a57u4tzi.default into (& replacing the contents within) x29n30vb.default, that should work.
(All that has to be done with PM closed.)


(Now extensions.ini & extensions.json both contain full paths. When originally copied from old to new, those files will still point to old location - on the other computer, no less. Disable/Enable, in Add-ons Manager should "right" that.)

The latest version is 33.9.1 , not 33.9.0.1.

I recommend copying the whole directory including the directory name, and adding an entry via a text editor to \AppData\Roaming\Moonchild Productions\Pale Moon\profiles.ini (set it default there if you're planning to use that as default, otherwise you can use the profile manager in about:profiles or the -p switch when launching Pale Moon).

Solved! :D
Copied the contents of the Profile from the old PC into a suitably named folder.
On the new PC created a folder as back-up with date, moved all the contents of the Profile into it, copied the contents from the old PC, started PM, lo and behold, 'tis all working.
Me is very happy.

Many thanks to all who replied and gave instructions.

Should have added that I have Firefox ESR as a backup for the odd site that won't play with PM 'browser out of date' and MyPal 28 for BBC vids - no longer needed as PM is OK now.
For each of them I used the 'wrong' method: Profile folder, rename etc., with success. A little knowledge...
