How i can install incompatible extensions

[mopskarel]

Again hi, how i can force Pale Moon or any other UXP browser in installing incompatible extension? I didn´t found anything on google, i just found that sometime works to copy whole profile folder. I´m talking about ScriptBlock.

Depends on the extension.
If it says it's corrupt or incompatible when you attempt to install it, then it'll most likely be a WebExtension. You cannot install WebExtensions because we do not support them.

[jars_]

By adding a section to install.rdf approximately the following type:

Code: Select all

  <!-- Pale Moon -->
  <em:targetApplication>
    <Description>
      <em:id>{8de7fcbb-c55c-4fbe-bfc5-fc555c87dbc4}</em:id>
      <em:minVersion>24.0a1</em:minVersion>
      <em:maxVersion>29.*</em:maxVersion>
    </Description>
  </em:targetApplication>

It says its incompatible, its a pale moon extension but other UXP browser says, its incompatible (but with copying whole profile folder works in that browser good)

      <em:maxVersion>29.*</em:maxVersion>

  </em:targetApplication>

I know, but i dont know ID of that browser, i cant find it anywhere, isnt possible to bypass it someway? The browser is IceApe-UXP (edited SeaMonkey, but extension converter for SeaMonkey not helps)

[therube]

I'm not clear.
Are you trying to install this into Pale Moon, or into "IceApe-UXP" (which I'm not familiar with).
(It does install into PM.)

Oh, is IceApe-UXP a program here, a port of SeaMonkey to UXP?
If so, then you might need a SeaMonkey "id" for it to install.

If that's the case, then this might do it:

Code: Select all

   <!-- SeaMonkey -->
   <em:targetApplication>
      <Description>
        <em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
        <em:minVersion>2.42</em:minVersion>
        <em:maxVersion>*</em:maxVersion>
      </Description>
   </em:targetApplication>

With that addition to install.rdf, jsblock@4bebca82.xpi (ScriptBlock), installs into SeaMonkey (itself - not IceApe-UXP),
is shown in extensions, can open its' Options & sites can be added (to Blacklist), & it does work, blocking scripts
(for said blacklisted sites), but I do not see its' icon (to be able to toggle a site...). (Might be different in IceApe-UXP?)

Look at any working extension what you have, ID and format of this section is the same for everyone extensions\browsers(FF<=52 ver), id`s only changes: therube`s sample.

If i remember it freezed on "downloading extension" for some reason when i did that, but i will maybe try again.

edit: now i tried to download some extensions from they pages, and they too said that are incompatible https://web.archive.org/web/20210409214 ... uxp_addons

Problem is that SeaMonkey addons not works there, i tried that seamonkey converter and didnt work
If i remember when i copied profile folder even icon worked.

Iceape ID is {9184b6fe-4a5c-484d-8b4b-efbfccbfb514}

Converter mostly works great, but sometimes it fails - especially when extension was targeted for different applications simultaneously.

Iceape is my main browser. It is almost completely compatible with Seamonkey. I adapted a lot of Seamonkey extensions to Iceape, and in 90% cases it was enough to add a new section

Code: Select all

<!-- Iceape-UXP -->
<em:targetApplication>
  <Description>
    <em:id>{9184b6fe-4a5c-484d-8b4b-efbfccbfb514}</em:id>
    <em:minVersion>52.0</em:minVersion>
    <em:maxVersion>52.*</em:maxVersion>
  </Description>
</em:targetApplication>

to install.rdf.

And the last 10% mainly was multi-application extensions with browser-specific branches in Javascript code.

I'll try to look into ScriptBlock.

UPD:
After addition of the above mentioned section ScriptBlock works in the Iceape.

I see one error in it's code, but it is harmless.

[_yup_]

As I discovered, in the parent of ScriptBlock (YesScript) there was support of some Seamonkey features, which was dropped in the ScriptBlock.

Here is ScriptBlock 1.1 with restored dropped feature, and also some fixes and improvements: http://yup.lh1.in/AddOns/script-block-1 ... +ia+pm.xpi

Thank you very much, now is from IceApe finally a usable browser. It´s not that important, but do you know id of boc navigator also?

[_yup_]

do you know id of boc navigator also?

{a3210b97-8e8a-4737-9aa0-aa0e607640b9}

Moving this since it's neither browser development, nor applicable to Pale Moon.

Thank you, now it works even in it.
